Which author would you love to have dinner with?
Gabrielle Union!
She’s definitely an amazing actress, but did you also know she has written a few books as well?
She has been through some traumatic things in her life, including being raped at a job she had while in college, having trouble getting pregnant, and other issues she’s dealt with – and yet, she’s still such a great person and advocate for many others who can’t advocate for themselves.
I’ve read both books she’s written and absolutely loved them, and the way she got through her struggles.
I recommend these two books, and they are both great reads!
Her movies?
Love those as well.
If you’ve never seen her movies – definitely go check some out.
Gabrielle Union plays (Isis) – the Cheer Captain of the Clovers – who is tired of the Toros stealing cheers from them.
This hilarious movie is based on Steve Harvey’s book (Act like a lady, Think like a man).
A group of women start using the book and taking Steve’s advice about relationships – to take control of their love lives and their unsuspecting male partners – who find out the women are using the book, and decide to fight back. 🩵
Gabrielle Union plays (Kristen). The one who wants her long-term boyfriend to grow up, get serious and propose to her.
She also plays in:
I can’t forget the cute movie:
In this feisty movie, she plays Eva.
An out-spoken, straight-forward, no BS – kind of woman who demands others plays by the rules she sets or feels should be set in place. She’s a no-nonsense kind of woman and doesn’t take any shit from anyone, as she looks out for her sisters in ways she thinks help
When her brother-in-laws want peace and to be able to live good lives with Eva’s sisters without Eva getting in the middle of their relationships, they hire Raymond – a local player and woman’s man – to take her out on dates, make her fall in love with him, and get her out of their relationships, so they can enjoy time with their ladies again.
Nothing goes right for Raymond, and Eva is just as tough on him as she is on her brother-in-laws.
It really is a cute movie, and one of my favorites. ❤️
So, if I had one author I’d love to have dinner with – it would be Gabrielle, because she has such a unique, strong, fierce attitude about her, and as great as she is as an actress in all of the movies I’ve seen her in, she’s also such a great writer, and person.
I just recently found out from my brother’s step-daughter as well – that Gabrielle’s husband Dwayne Wade graduated from the high school my brother’s step-daughter went to, so that was pretty cool to hear because I didn’t even realize he’s from Chicago.
I never even looked it up.
So, now that I answered this – someone let me know when Gabrielle is free, and have her agent contact mine! 🤣 (That would be great if only………………). haha.
I’m out for now.
XOXO.
