Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. And while we appreciate Union offering this insight, we also hope the public can offer her - and all women - a similar grace going forward before leaping to judgments on how someone should live their life. That understanding, that give and take, is what has made Union and Wade’s marriage stronger every year in the wake of the hurdles they’ve faced. Union writes of how she and Wade offer one another “grace” in their marriage, which she describes as “ a renewable resource that Dwyane and I can give each other when one of us is in need,” and “that combination of love and mercy that we all have to give and yet are trained to think we don’t deserve.” When it came to her relationship, she experienced the same expectation that she be greater than herself, than any woman could ever be - that she be the perfect wife and take nothing less than perfect treatment from her husband all at once. And she has the nerve to stick with a guy who had a kid with somebody else,'” Union recalls thinking.Īs a successful Black woman in Hollywood, Union knows plenty about - and has written extensively about - the “nerve” ascribed to her for daring to be ambitious, to ask for what she’s worth, and to keep pushing past what she’s been given. And she has the nerve to have a younger husband. “The murmurs of the unseen crowd came at me again. spoke to SheKnows' Parenting Editor about the "Bring it On" reboot, baby Kaavia’s "unfiltered and unbothered" Instagram account, and her and transgender daughter Zaya. As Union struggled to find forgiveness in her heart for Wade, she also dealt once again with the scrutiny of the public. This last clause is a brilliant description of how Union sees herself as a grown woman: someone awe-inspiring for what she has endured and overcome. A living contradiction of being solid but still broken stronger and yet painfully delicate.” There was no way to disguise where I’d been glued back together, so I was left to hope that the breakage and repair would at least be appreciated as history. With desperate hands, we gathered what we could to slowly remake me into something new. But truth matters.”įor Union, the trauma of finding out what had happened with Wade was compounded by the grief of her own fertility journey: “The experience of Dwyane having a baby so easily while I was unable to left my soul not just broken into pieces, but shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind. I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy I am not sure I have them now. There are people - strangers who I will never meet - who have been upset that I have not previously talked about that trauma. To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience. But we were in a much better place when he finally told me about the pregnancy. “It should go without saying that we were not in a good place in our relationship at the time that child was conceived. “In 2013, before we were married, Dwyane had a baby with another woman,” Union writes frankly.
