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!!!!”

Union, along with D-Wade, has been a mental and physical wellness advocate for a long time. Part of it has been speaking about subjects others refuse to talk about and collaborating with partners who provide more resources. That also includes PHM, a healthcare media agency that promotes the best in health and wellness. The Healthfront is one of its initiatives to improve the space.

Gabrielle Union speaks from experience

The Bring It On star’s advocacy is more prominent with her open discussions on her fertility struggles along with being diagnosed with menopause and perimenopause in her 30s. At Healthfront, she urged women to reject the stigma around menopause and aging, seek more information, and urge healthcare providers to take them seriously.

“I don’t think that suffering is a natural part of aging,” she said at Healthfront. “It doesn’t have to be that way when you start communicating and advocating for yourself.”

Her appearance couldn’t come at a better time as she has recently launched her partnership with the intimate apparel brand, Knix. She was appreciative of the opportunity to spread awareness of brands that she has experienced and benefited from. She wants brands to also lead the charge in destigmatizing important subjects of women’s health. Given the response her work is getting, she’s definitely not alone.
