Gabrielle Union has been pretty active on social media and keeps sharing things about her family with her fans. Recently, Gabrielle Union shared a few pictures of the sky and then shared a quote on her Instagram story.
The quote reads as, “If you’re a sensitive and empathetic soul, know this; you are not a burden, you’re a gift to this world. You’re not here to meet the endless needs of those who don’t protect your spirit”.
While Gabrielle Union has not hinted at anything serious, a few days ago the famous actress appeared on a documentary that focuses on experiences that Black women and men have had in Hollywood. The documentary, Number One on the Call Sheet, was recently released on Apple TV+.
Dwyane Wade’s wife, Gabrielle Union, appeared on the documentary and shared an emotional story about her journey in Hollywood.
She said, "When you have a more coarse grade of hair, when you have melanin, thicker nose, wider nose, wider lips, you’re not considered, you know, a classic beauty”.
The famous actress added, "I started feeling invisible, like my beauty wasn’t wanted. As a romantic lead? No. My look was appealing enough. But not so overpowering that it overshadows the White lead.”
However, nothing has been able to stop Gabrielle Union from making her mark in Hollywood due to her immense talent and grace. But things have been pretty difficult for the Hollywood actress even in her personal life.
With Dwyane Wade removing a major part of his kidneys, Gabrielle Union has revealed how the surgery had an impact on their family and as well as their children.
