Aging doesn’t equal suffering – Gabrielle Union in summary. For a long time, we’ve been told to grin and bear the side effects of aging. Gabrielle Union instead says we need to stop neglecting our health and demand better care. The actress and activist featured in the Publicis Health Media event, 2024 PHM Healthfront to break the shame and stigma surrounding women’s health. Union, who has gone through health issues in public, has never shied from expressing it and not letting others bring her down for it. Speaking out at this summit is her way of getting brands involved in women’s health advocacy too.
After a fruitful talk, Dwyane Wade’s wife was on Instagram with positive vibes. “Such a good time sitting down with @publicishealthmedia President Andrea Palmer to talk about the power of advocacy in women’s health. It’s time for us to reject the stigmas and stereotypes that keep us from having these conversations so we can continue to uplift and support the next generation of women. #PHMHealthfront,” with snaps of her OOTD – a baggy and beige Frankie Shop co-ord, Tiffany earrings and a Gucci handbag.
This is an issue that Hollywood’s leading ladies like Brooke Shields and Halle Berry are also pushing for. It was the latter who hyped Union in the comments with a heart emoji. The amazing Octavia Spencer also chimed in, “Thank you @gabunion. It’s time to normalize advocating for women’s health!!!!”
