Would you like to know a little more about Gabrielle Union? Well, as the title of one of her most famous movies says, 'Bring it on!' Union was born on Omaha in Nebraska to Catholic parents, one of whom was a sergeant in the United States military. While that might sound like a conservative background, she says her mother always reminded her to take on a 'world perspective,' and when she was eight, she was taken to a gay pride parade to learn tolerance and respect for others. By that point, they'd left Nebraska behind and moved to California.
When she graduated her degree was in sociology, but she'd already decided she was going to pursue acting before trying to get a 'regular' 9 to 5. 'Bring It On' made her name in the year 2000, but she'd already appeared in several films by then including 'She's All That,' and '10 Things I Hate About You.' In her book 'We're Going to Need More Wine,' released in 2017, she talks about her experience as a sexual assault survivor. That ties into her activism for causes which seek to prevent violence against women.
