Über diesen Titel

In the spirit of Amy Poehler's Yes Please, Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl, and Roxane Gay's Bad Feminist, a powerful collection of essays about gender, sexuality, race, beauty, Hollywood, and what it means to be a modern woman.

One month before the release of the highly anticipated film The Birth of a Nation, actress Gabrielle Union shook the world with a vulnerable and impassioned editorial in which she urged our society to have compassion for victims of sexual violence. In the wake of rape allegations made against director and actor Nate Parker, Union - a 44-year-old actress who launched her career with roles in iconic '90s movies - instantly became the insightful, outspoken actress that Hollywood has been desperately awaiting. With honesty and heartbreaking wisdom, she revealed her own trauma as a victim of sexual assault: "It is for you that I am speaking. This is real. We are real."

In this moving collection of thought-provoking essays infused with her unique wisdom and deep humor, Union uses that same fearlessness to tell astonishingly personal and true stories about power, color, gender, feminism, and fame. Union tackles a range of experiences, including bullying, beauty standards and competition between women in Hollywood, growing up in white California suburbia and then spending summers with her Black relatives in Nebraska, coping with crushes, puberty, and the divorce of her parents. Genuine and perceptive, Union bravely lays herself bare, uncovering a complex and courageous life of self-doubt and self-discovery with incredible poise and brutal honesty. Throughout, she compels us to be ethical and empathetic and reminds us of the importance of confidence, self-awareness, and the power of sharing truth, laughter, and support.

Beschreibung von Audible

Editors Select, October 2017

In a series of revealing and often funny essays, TV and movie actress Gabrielle Union shares personal stories from her childhood, adolescence, and career that touch on some weighty themes. Union ties universal issues such as self-esteem, colorism, racial disparity in Hollywood, and more with the personal in a way that can be both entertaining and empowering. And hearing her throaty, inviting voice, full of self-awareness and good humor, narrating this book will only serve to endear her more to existing fans while gaining her new ones. —Abby, Audible Editor

Kritikerstimmen

"As she treats listeners to her honest, soul-baring story, Union pauses during the tough moments and laughs out loud during the happy ones.... The actress's touching personal stories about race, fame, sexuality, feminism, and family leave a lasting impression." (AudioFile)

Great insights

I really enjoyed this audio book. Gabrielle Union's voice is amazing as it is and she knows how to use it. In every sense and every layer. Her stories are brutally honest, close to the heart and self critical. She is a wonderful example of how ones views and understanding develop over time and how perspectives change. She is dealing with her stories, her experiences in a very sensible way that get you emotionally involved in them. Although there is sadness, grief, desperation, and failing in the stories, you emerge from this experience with a sense of strength and comfort. I enjoyed this audio book very much and recommend it to everyone.

Felt like a conversation with the best friend

Obviously I don't know all the facts first hand, but I could tell, Gabrielle Union is brutally honest about herself and her life in each and every chapter. I wouldn't say this book was particularly funny, though, I rather found it quite sad. The author talks a lot about common problems in the current society, like racism and homophobia, as well as personal struggles with self-image, relationships, physical and mental health. The jokes put here and there were a little flat in my opinion and rather served a purpose of lightening the mood than making one laugh. Overall, this book is well-written, Gabrielle has a definite talent for storytelling. Each story is attention gripping and mostly has a lesson for readers behind it. I enjoyed every single one of them. Listening to an audiobook read by Gabrielle Union herself made it even more immersing. In some chapters her voice is pretty hoarse, though, which took me some time to get used to.
