During Marie Claire's Power On virtual summit, actress Gabrielle Union sat down for a live discussion about speaking truth to power as a Black woman.
—about her commitment to using her voice in impactful ways. Here are some highlights from the conversation, which closed out the Power On conference."You know, by the time I turned 40, I realized that I had been so paralyzed by the fear of public humiliation, the fear of scarcity, and the fear of failure that I became the most inauthentic version of myself. And there's nothing that the world can do to me that life hasn't already handed me.
I'm going to always speak truth to power, I'm always going to lead from the front, I will always use myself as an example . Because if not me, then who? And I'd rather be this authentic, whole self and take some blows than a shell of myself and have hollow victories.""The longer that we stay silent, the longer we are complicit in our own pain and trauma. And so, if you want something different, you have to do something different. You have to actually be willing to speak up, stick your neck out, cosign. I recognize that we are not all built to lead from the front.
