Summary
Gabrielle Union is a veteran when it comes to battling hard things. From a young age, she knew she had to be the best to get the attention she craved. But working hard isn't always enough. And sometimes you lose yourself in the sprint to win the game of life. Thankfully, Gabrielle knows just how to handle that too. In this four-part series, we'll tell you all about how the breakout star of Bring It On became a survivor, an activist, and... a mom.
