Summary

Actress, model, and author Gabrielle Union joins Angie Martinez to talk about her peaceful era. Gabrielle speaks about her struggles with PTSD, ultimately leading to the notion that you never know what the people around you are going through. Gabrielle talks about her loving relationship with her husband, former NBA star Dwyane Wade, and raising their children together. She talks about what she’s learned from marriage and how surrounding yourselves with happy couples is important. Union stars in her latest animated movie ‘GOAT’ with her husband, as well as Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, ‘Stranger Things’ star Caleb McLaughlin, Jelly Roll, Aaron Pierre and many more. Gabrielle discusses the impact Tisha Campbell and Regina King have had on her as Hollywood OGs. Finally, she answers a fan’s question, and Angie asks some ‘In Real Life’ questions.
