Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union joins the show to talk about her romantic comedy, The Perfect Find. Adapted from Tia Williams' book by the same name, The Perfect Find follows Jenna (Gabrielle Union) — a former fashion editor who is trying to make a career comeback after enduring a very public breakup and career implosion. However, her plan hits a snag when she falls for a charming, much younger coworker (Keith Powers) — who happens to be her boss’s son. As sparks fly, Jenna must decide if she'll risk it all on a secret romance.

Union explains how the idea behind the film arose, talks about the process of casting Powers, and discusses why as a producer she prioritizes listening to, learning from, and advocating for her cast and crew.  

Union also talks about breaking ancestral trauma bonds and leaning into self-love, reflects on the evolution of her parenting strategy, and gives an update on the latest iteration of Bring It On.
