I’ve always liked Gabrielle Union. I haven’t exactly followed her career, and didn’t even realize she had a television series, but whenever I see her in a preview or realize she is in a movie I am interested in, I always view it as a positive. I also know she played teenagers for a good portion of her career because she is genetically blessed, and I also thought her story line in Think Like a Man was ridiculous because of all the guys in that […]
We’re Going to Need More Wine (And a Bucket to Hold My Tears from Laughing and Crying)
I’ve loved Gabrielle Union since 10 Things I Hate About You. I was the perfect age when it came out, and my friends and I as teenagers rented it from Blockbuster over and over and over again.

Everyone go get it. Gabrielle Union reads it. I’ll wait. It’s Gabrielle […]

All of that […]
“This kind of feels like a first date. I have that same feeling you get five minutes before you meet the other person, when you’re giddy about where things might go.”
This was by far one of the best books I have read this year. I didn’t expect Isis from Bring It On to deliver such a powerful memoir that touches on topics stemming from race and sexual assault to rom-coms. Gabrielle Union was ubiquitous in the 2000s, or at least my 2000s, as the friend of the lead in movies like 10 Things I Hate About You and the aforementioned Bring It On before segueing into meatier roles in movies that catered more to African American […]
