She’s made some mistakes and had
some major setbacks – then used them
to grow by leaps and light years. This is
wisdom you need. BY TIFFANY BLACKSTONE
GABRIELLE UNION’S LIFE IS AN OPEN BOOK.

That’s a literal statement: her bestselling memoir, We’re Going To Need More Wine
(HarperCollins Publishers), is possibly the most unfiltered celebrity autobiogra-
phy that’s ever existed. From an outrageously hilarious misadventure with a home
remedy for a yeast infection to her devastating account of being sexually assault-
ed, the actress is candid about the things even women who don’t have millions of
people dissecting their every utterance are afraid to share. ‘The book reflects what
my conversations with friends and my therapy sessions sound like,’ says Gabrielle.
‘I might go from the worst thing that has ever happened to me to talking about
irritable bowel syndrome – that’s the way my mind works, that’s the way my life is.
I thought it would be disingenuous if I didn’t lay the book out that way.’

October 2018 GOODHOUSEKEEPING.CO.ZA 15
That complete authenticity, a relatively
new development, has been the catalyst
for other recent successes: the second
season of her clothing line with New
York & Company hit stores earlier this
year, and last year she launched Flawless
by Gabrielle Union, a haircare line for
women with textured and curly hair. ‘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.’ (We’d
say: from her big break in the teen classic
Bring It On to roles in blockbusters like
Bad Boys II and the critically acclaimed
TV show Being Mary Jane, she’s spent
nearly two decades in the spotlight. On
the home front, she’s happily married to
National Basketball Association (NBA)
star Dwyane Wade and is a proud step-
mom to his ‘kind, compassionate’ boys.)
‘Over the years, I’d been approached with
ideas for things like my own clothing line,
and I’d have those momentary feelings of
