À propos de cet audio

In the spirit of Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl, and Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, a powerful collection of essays about gender, sexuality, race, beauty, Hollywood, and what it means to be a modern woman.

One month before the release of the highly anticipated film The Birth of a Nation, actress Gabrielle Union shook the world with a vulnerable and impassioned editorial in which she urged our society to have compassion for victims of sexual violence. In the wake of rape allegations made against director and actor Nate Parker, Union - a 44-year-old actress who launched her career with roles in iconic '90s movies - instantly became the insightful, outspoken actress that Hollywood has been desperately awaiting. With honesty and heartbreaking wisdom, she revealed her own trauma as a victim of sexual assault: "It is for you that I am speaking. This is real. We are real."

In this moving collection of thought-provoking essays infused with her unique wisdom and deep humor, Union uses that same fearlessness to tell astonishingly personal and true stories about power, color, gender, feminism, and fame. Union tackles a range of experiences, including bullying, beauty standards and competition between women in Hollywood, growing up in white California suburbia and then spending summers with her Black relatives in Nebraska, coping with crushes, puberty, and the divorce of her parents. Genuine and perceptive, Union bravely lays herself bare, uncovering a complex and courageous life of self-doubt and self-discovery with incredible poise and brutal honesty. Throughout, she compels us to be ethical and empathetic and reminds us of the importance of confidence, self-awareness, and the power of sharing truth, laughter, and support.

Great read!

thought I was getting a "light read". But it turned out to much much more. I related to many of the topics she covers.

We're going to need more books!

This book is beautifully written and beautifully read. I couldn’t turn it off because I was so eager to finish it. Trigger warning for chapter 7, but absolutely worth hearing.

A must read

I thoroughly enjoyed Gabrielle’s account of her life, experiences and lessons. It made me reflect a lot on my life choices and decisions too. The rawness and fullness of her accounts are inspiring! I have newfound respect for her as an actress and woman!

Laugh out loud funny, thought provoking, real and unfiltered truth. Gabriel Union does a fantastic job telling her story. Each chapter she gives us a little peice of herself with a tale that reminds us that she is more then the super star... but an individual with something to say.....I mean a lot to say.

Great stories from the heart

love it , and i could relate to it as many of us black female. I love how you write from your heart that let me feel connected like I was in your shoe lol. I notice that the tv series "Being Mary Jane " the book could relate to show in some sense I guess ... (to me) but it was GREAT
👍🏿💖😗

love the book

So glad I decided to buy this on a whim. It’s honestly one of the best autobiographies I’ve heard in a long time. I’m Caucasian so not sure how credible this will come across but if I were a woman of colour I would want my daughter hearing/reading Gabrielle Union’s story. I now know why we don’t see as much of talented actors of colour on screen and long for the day when casting becomes colourblind.

Inspiring and motivating candid storytelling
