On this week’s episode of Adweek Presents…, we travel back to Brandweek 2021 where Adweek senior editor Terry Stanley was joined by actress, executive producer, activist and best-selling author Gabrielle Union. 

This week’s guest truly exemplifies authenticity and hustle. Union has a hair-care line, is a co-founder of the organic children’s snack food line Bitsy’s and is most recently the founder of Proudly, a baby skincare brand specially formulated for children of color, all while serving as an advocate for systemic change within the entertainment industry. This trailblazer and entrepreneur joined us for Day 2 of Brandweek to discuss defining your narrative, acting on personal beliefs and what true partnership entails. 

You can watch this week’s guest right now in the Disney+ remake of Cheaper by the Dozen right after listening to this conversation when Adweek Presents… Gabrielle Union!
