A moving collection of thought provoking essays infused with wisdom and deep humor is what actress, Gabrielle Union’s book, ‘We’re Going to Need More Wine’, is all about. The 45 year old tells personal and true stories about power, color, gender, feminism, and fame, fearlessly while also tackling a range of experiences, including bullying, beauty standards, and competition between women in Hollywood, growing up in white neighborhoods, spending summers with black relatives, coping with crushes, puberty, and the divorce of her parents. But most important is her openness about her struggles with fertility. She talks about having had about nine miscarriages and how captive she feels by the process of wanting to have a child. Genuine and perceptive, the ‘Being Mary Jane’ star lays herself bare, uncovering a complex and courageous life of self-doubt and self-discovery with poise and brutal honesty. Through the book, Gabrielle Union hope that she can make as many as possible, ethical and empathetic, while also reminding us of the importance of confidence, self-awareness, and the power of sharing truth, laughter, and support.
