In case you haven't seen it already, Mary was featured on cover of the June 2008 issue of Essence Magazine, along with Jill Scott and Alicia Keyes, described by Essence as "the truth and the light in R&B." The interview focused on how the three have grown since their debut albums and how they've dealt with their successes and failures over the years. You can read an excerpt from the article here. How you have been inspired by Mary and other celebrities as you've watched them grow throughout their careers?
