Gabrielle Union
“But even when you know better, it doesn't mean you'are going to do better”
Gabrielle Union, We're Going to Need More Wine

Gabrielle Union
“And anything I have accomplished, I did so not in spite of being a black woman, but because I am a black woman".”
Gabrielle Union, We're Going to Need More Wine

Gabrielle Union
“Do you know why no one asks men how they balance it all? It’s because there is no expectation of that. Bringing home money is enough. We don’t expect you to be anything more than a provider, men. But a working woman? Not only do you have to bring home the bacon and fry it up, you gotta be a size double-zero, too. You’ve got to volunteer at the school, you’ve got to be a sex kitten, a great friend, a community activist. There are all these expectations that we put on women that we don’t put on men.”
Gabrielle Union, We're Going to Need More Wine

Gabrielle Union
“My parents gave me the pep talk when I started school, the same speech all black parents give their kids: You're gonna have to be bigger, badder, better, just to be considered equal. You're gonna have to do twice as much work and you're not going to get any credit for your accomplishments or for overcoming adversity. Most black people grow accustomed to the fact that we have to excel just to be seen as existing, and this is a lesson passed down from generation to generation. You can either be Super Negro or the forgotten Negro.”
Gabrielle Union, We're Going to Need More Wine

Gabrielle Union
“You were fly, dope, and amazing from birth,” I would tell that girl now. “From the second you took your first breath, you were worthwhile and valid. And I’m sorry you had to wait so long to learn that for yourself.”
Gabrielle Union, We're Going to Need More Wine
