I’m here to serve- Music Diva, Mary J. Blige

June 27,2019
Share:

United States music diva, Mary J. Blige, who was awarded the Lifetime achievement award at the just concluded BET Awards 2019, made an acceptance speech was power-packed.

 

Speaking on how she remained relevant after all these years, Mary J. Blige noted that service was the most important part of her work. This is because she does that diligently, that she has stayed relevant.

Mary J Blige’s speech earned a  standing ovation. Here is what she said:

“People always ask how do I sustain and stay relevant in this industry? It’s because although I am a leader, a queen, a living legend… I’m a servant as well and I’m here to serve. Being a servant is not always glamourous or popular, but it’s the job and the assignment that I was given. It’s because in order to be an authority, I had to learn how to come under authority. It’s because when the glory is placed on me, I give it back to God, immediately. 

“This journey has always been bigger than me, and my mission is not only to survive, but right now, it’s to thrive and continue to make history while I do it.”
