Hi everyone, Lale here.

The team at Women Who Travel hopes that you've enjoyed listening to our content as much as we enjoy creating it.

We'll be back next week with a brand new episode.

But today, we'll share a rerun of one of my personal favorites.

In this episode, actress Gabrielle Union chats about her docu-series,

Gabrielle Union, My Journey to 50, and her journey across Africa.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving celebration, eat lots of food, wherever you might be, and we'll see you next week.

Hi, I'm Lale Aricoglu, and welcome to a new episode of Women Who Travel.

My guest today is none other than Gabrielle Union,

an actor who's been gracing our screens since the 90s,

starring in movies like Bring It On,

10 Things I Hate About You, Love and Basketball,

The Inspection, and so much more.

Now, she's celebrating a milestone birthday with a new docu-series, Gabrielle Union, My Journey to 50,

a two-part special on BET Plus.

It was like nothing I've ever experienced and beyond what I had hoped to experience for my birthday.

Over the course of two episodes, Gabrielle travels to Zanzibar, Tanzania, the coast of Ghana, a Tosha National Park in Namibia, and Cape Town.

The trip to her felt like a homecoming.

It feels like being welcomed home after being forced away.

It is a part of our resilience and our survival as a people.

Africans who are now across the diaspora, it's that feeling of home, of being seen, truly, and being understood, truly, that is priceless.

Gabrielle traveled with her almost four-year-old daughter, Cavia, Mum Teresa, and her husband, former NBA star Dwayne Wade, as well as a revolving group of extended family and friends.
