The singer showed up to a star studded charity shopping party at Gucci to help raise money for the “Foundation for the Advancement of Women Now” (FFAWN).  FFAWN is a joint venture with business partner Steve Stoute.She brought out the heavy hitters.

“Steve is a friend of mine and a business partner. Being that he knows my movement and he knows exactly who I am, he said, ‘Mary, what is it that you want to do? What is it that inspires you?’ I said, ‘Helping women.’ He was like, ‘Why don’t we start a foundation?’ I said yes.”

WWD staff askd Mary,what are the biggest issues facing women today?

“Insecurities due to lack of education and insecurities due to lack of self-love and confidence,” she said. “Anytime you abuse drugs and alcohol, that stems from your childhood. It creates this ball of insecurity. It turns into an inferiority complex and you end up believing that you’re nothing.” (MJB)

We love this woman, and Lipstick has to find a way to become involved in her movement!
