In the March 2018 issue of Redbook magazine, Gabrielle Union who is used to playing fierce female character sheds light on her fight to become the strong woman fans know her as today.
“I’ve struggled with feelings of worthlessness for a very long time, probably until about last year, even though I had a body of work and I’m pretty accomplished,” Union admits.
With some positive life changes, she’s been able to turn her attitude around. Her advice to those looking to do a little soul searching?
Gabrielle Union who is married to Dwayne Wade says, “When someone starts gossiping, I’ll be like, ‘I can’t.’ It stops people cold… You have to do it with a wink and a nod, but it shuts people down. When you let that into your space, whether or not you’re going to spread it or agree with it, your silence makes you complicit in negative energy, and that comes back.”
The 45 year old who is also a beauty and fashion entrepreneur also revealed that despite having to relieve the trauma of her sexual abuse experience while promoting her book, ‘We’re Going to Need More Wine’, she feels a responsibility to offer that sense of safety and support to other survivors, and considers her life coach and therapist crucial members of her own safety net.
