    Authenticity is so rare, especially for those whose careers are in the public eye. Gabrielle is a real, unapologetic and speaks from the heart ❤️

    This is such a quality interview and echoes the sentiments of so many black woman. Fear of vulnerability, the allure of black excellence, morality and ethics, colorism, racism, etc. The fact that the interview is being reduced to the 50/50 conversation and being taken out of context is pretty gross.

      My thoughts exactly. People love to run with false information taken out of context. This was an excellent interview and I have a new respect for Gabrielle. I really wasn’t that familiar with her work as I don’t watch a lot of t.v. or movies. This is a woman with substance!

    I was starting to get annoyed with Gabby but she’s said a lot of things that I found relatable. I’ve been asked a similar question “where does your ambition come from?” And I’ve said it’s a trauma response, I didn’t have much help and had to figure things out myself or use the resources I could find. But it helped me make some major moves in my 20s. ✊🏾

    Sis is a walking masculina;her entire body language is male and she's proud of the fact that she's in control.Sis trauma wasn't dealt with so her current provider mentality is deeply ingrained in her ,oh well

    • @e.wilson9613
      @e.wilson9613 Před rokem

      I got that too, and that man must be going through it cause she won't relinquish control...it's probably a problematic relationship with a sense of arrogance, but I hope he loves her and is faithful.;)

    I loved how to talks about centering blackness ...she is raw I can tell she is such a Scorpio ♏ she isn't afraid to go to the dark places and try to make sense of them that's why I believe she is grossly misunderstood most of the time
