Summary
With her unforgettable wit, humor, and beauty, Gabrielle Union truly needs no introduction. Her roles in Bring It On, Bad Boys II , and Being Mary Jane made her a household name that has inspired so many young black girls over the past two decades. For this truly ICONIC episode, Gabrielle and I discussed everything, from her life as a mom to being a Black woman in Hollywood. We were also joined by Gabrielle’s hair stylist and business partner, Larry Sims. Together, they are relaunching Flawless by GU, a haircare line inspired by the well-researched ingredients that helped Gab to treat her hair loss and regrow an even more beautiful mane. I cannot wait for you all to hear this! So please, tune in for all the tea, the wisdom, and so much more!
