LONDON -- Gabrielle Union’s using “radical honesty” in her new book, which combines lively lighthearted stories with chapters dealing with her recovery from sexual assault, racist encounters and mental health struggles.
The actor says she “left nothing out on the table” for the already released “You Got Anything Stronger?”, which adopts the same casual tone of her 2017 New York Times bestseller, “We’re Going To Need More Wine,” but also tackle tough issues directly.
“I am a big proponent of putting forth your vulnerability because that is truly your salvation and absolutely your superpower,” Union said during a recent interview.
She’s been pleasantly surprised by the reaction to last week’s release of the book’s first chapter in Time magazine. In “The Truth About My Surrogacy Journey,” Union writes openly about the physical barriers and emotional pressures on her to give birth, the heartbreaks and pain of IVF and her experiences with a surrogate.
