NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work

Named a Best Book of the Year by The Root

Chosen by Emma Straub as a Best New Celebrity Memoir

"A book of essays as raw and honest as anyone has ever produced." — Lena Dunham, Lenny Letter

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 forty-four-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.

   • content: Actor Gabrielle Union begins by saying that the stories listeners are about to hear have previously been shared only with close friends. As she treats listeners to her honest, soul-baring story, Union pauses during the tough moments and laughs out loud during the happy ones. She becomes giddy and talks fast when sharing a story about sneaking out as a teen. Her voice becomes hoarse with shock as she shares revelations about not wanting to be different while growing up, which contrast with the happy details of her favorite nights at home with her husband, especially watching their favorite TV show together. The actress's touching personal stories about race, fame, sexuality, feminism, and family leave a lasting impression. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

     October 9, 2017
     This sparkling book collects amusing and heartbreaking stories from the life of actress Union (Being Mary Jane). After moving with her family from Omaha, Neb., to Pleasanton, Calif., in grade school, Union grappled with being black in a predominately white student population and attempted to assimilate and gain peer approval by being the class clown. At 19, a stranger raped her at gunpoint; for a year afterward she barely left the house. In time, she began to heal, pursuing modeling and acting, attending college, and getting married. Union shines a light on issues of race in America and the difficulties young black women face in Hollywood; in an essay on raising boys (two from her basketball star husband Dwayne Wade’s previous marriage as well as his nephew), Union explores the daunting responsibility of parenting in a culture dangerous to black youths. Several essays deal with “teen drama,” dating, making friends, and sexuality; some are quite funny, as when she describes her surprising first encounter with a tampon and discusses when to drink wine or tequila after a break-up. Union’s no-holds-barred essays and intimate voice will appeal to her fans as well as those less familiar with her work. Agent: Albert Lee, Aevitas Creative Management.
