Mary J Blige will be featuring in 'The Umbrella Academy', Netflix's adaptation of Gerard Way's award-winning graphic novel
Mary J. Blige, already an award-winning singer/performer/songwriter, is steadily expanding her talent pool to include acting as well, with her new role in 'The Umbrella Academy'
Mary J. Blige was born January 11, 1971, in the Bronx, but moved to Savannah, Georgia, where she grew up. Blige had an abusive family background, where her father left her at a tender age, and the family barely survived on Blige's mother's income (her mother was a nurse).
Over the years, Blige would face immense hardships in the form of sexual abuse and harassment, most of the abuse coming from her own friends, and with what she's been through all these years, this remarkable woman still stands tall and proud. But these hardships helped Blige to get out of the Bronx and start pursuing her musical career further, and Pentecostal music was one of the first musical artforms she learned to master.
