R&B singer Mary J. Blige gave back to her hometown of Yonkers, New York earlier this week, when she opened her new facility, the Mary J. Blige Center for Women.

Blige and Hip-Hop mogul Steve Stoute founded the Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now (FFAWN) in 2008, as a way to encourage women by supporting educational programs, career development, self-esteem and personal growth.

You are the greatest most people don't quite understand domestic violence, most seem to blame the women, I really don't think that they seem to quite understand that it's not just the physical abuse, it's the emotional fear and misunderstandings of how these women assess the fear and the physical trauma, and the emotional distress that harm may come to them, their children. or other family members.  Sometimes they endure abuse just to protect someone else.  They fear for their lives as a result of leaving the abusive relationship. 

Some feel that staying allows them to protect the others from harm, so they stay and inflict the cruelty of the abuser.  We need to educate ourselves to the mental state of the person being abused, instead of judging them for staying in these type of relationships.

What we need is more training, education and acknowledgement,  domestic violence kills millions of women of all races, colors and economic status.  It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, violence is violence.  Help make a change and save a life.....Thanks Mary if you save 10 lives today through you efforts it worth more than money can ever buy.   When you see a victim of violence, comfort them, show love and compassion to them and most of all don't judge them...Domestic Violence is real.

..Thank you very much for making a center like this because their are alot of women out their who are trying to find themselves, to figure out their purpose in life, and at the same time hold on to their self esteem. I am not from Yonkers but I know what  it feels like to have a rough life. I am still very young but some of the things that I have seen and been through in my lifetime makes me feel like I have a old soul like this world is very familar to me like I have been here before. Anyway thank you for being an inspiration in my life throgh your music and keep on keeping on. Your music always puts a smile on my facee.

Another reason to admire Mary J. - a real woman dat has witness'd & relates to some of struggles of women. Mary has always inspired me  thru her music, "that's why she is honestly, my favorite artist, I love my MJB collection." Thank You Mary for all You do, much luv!
