Gabrielle Union is a familiar face that has been spreading #BlackGirlMagic all through magazines, movies and television screens.

Released in October 2017, We’re Going to Need More Wine explores topics such as race, gender, beauty, sexuality, and Union’s marriage to NBA player Dwayne Wade.

Union is usually very selective with information concerning her private life. However, Union approaches each narrative with a sense of fearlessness. She is opening herself to the world so that we all may catch a glimpse into the life of Gabrielle Union. Her brutal honesty and vulnerability is impressive, especially when the ever- confident Union alludes to self-doubt at one time in her life.

Although the text is a narrative about Union’s life, the stories can be easily translated to fit situations that’s we all encounter. Topics such as divorce, competition and never ending beauty standards are relatable to the everyday individual. This is what makes Union’s work such a dynamic read.

During an interview with People, Union stated “Throughout my life, I’ve often wondered aloud ‘How the hell did I end up here? Why me?’ ” the 44-year-old actress said. “Not sure I’ve ever found all the answers to those questions, but in this book I share my journey… the good, the bad, and the WTF. You will definitely need more wine for this one.”
