Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) Covers Essence Magazine (@essencemag) & Chats On New Holiday Movie, “Almost Christmas!”

Gabrielle Union is truly a woman of class and the definition of a strong black audacious woman.

Union sat down recently to discuss Hollywood, marriage, motherhood, politics, sports and 90s R & B for the November issue of ESSENCE. Union spoke out on why she’s comfortable sharing the spotlight in the comedic family movie, Almost Christmas  (in theaters November 11) as well as her leading role in the hit television series, Being Mary Jane (returning in January).

“I’m at an age where my ego doesn’t live and die by how many lines I have,” says the 43-year-old stunner, who’s rocking Lanvin, Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Kors Collection in her cover story. “There’s more to life than line counting.”

Wise words spoken by a woman who truly knows her worth and knows that she is still valuable no matter how many lines or roles she obtains. This is why we love Gabrielle Union! She knows her worth and let’s nothing hinder her growth.

Everything meant to make you fall, Union has proven in her career and character that it should not hinder who you are but yet simply drive you into becoming all that you desire to be within.
