Gabrielle Union on Standing Up For Yourself


Listen Later

Gabrielle Union hit her big break as an actor more than 20 year ago. Today she’s a household name in pop culture, as well as an advocate and author. And along the way, she’s had to learn one of the biggest (and hardest) career lessons: how to stand up for yourself. From navigating toxic workplaces, to challenging inequity and bias in Hollywood, to speaking out about pay parity, Gabrielle’s a hero to many for standing up to broken systems - and for how open and honest she is with her fans and her readers. 


In this episode, Gabrielle shares:

  • Realizing when vulnerability can be a superpower
  • Standing up for yourself — and others — at work
  • Navigating your professional reputation
  • Knowing your value in pay negotiations
  • Why you need to talk about money 
  • Using preparation to counter anxiety
