Now that she’s a veteran in the game, Mary is in a place where she not only loves her life and her career, but herself.

“I enjoy it more now. Because now I can see it. And I know what it is. But when I was younger, I didn’t know what the heck was going on. I was just singing for my life!
“I was running and hurting, and the only thing was coming out was pain. So now I’m enjoying my life because I know who I am.”
“I’m Mary Jane Blige. Jane Blige! You know, that’s it. I know who I am. I am not perfect. I’m not the most beautiful woman in the world. But I’m one of them.”
