Gabrielle Union Writes Encouragement To Younger Self on Beauty, Self-Worth and True Love In Ebony


Ebony Magazine loves Gabrielle Union. She’s covering the mag for the second time this year, (the first with Dwyane Wade) and in the cover story, she’s penned a letter to her younger self. In the note, she encourages her younger self to be comfortable with her skin tone and to not let low self-esteem trick her into believing that she has low value. She also tells her younger self and other young women to never worry about love, love will find you and you will find love in an incredible man.
Check out a few excerpts below.

To her younger self
Your deep Mahogany skin may not resemble that of the others in your family, but it’s just as gorgeous and you’re just as worthy…One day you’ll appreciate how much your brown skin shines in the moonlight, glistens in the sun and ages ever so slowly.
 On her self-worth and true love
Don’t let that pesky low self-esteem creep in and fool you into believing that you don’t have value…don’t allow it to crush your will or dampen your spirit…Never worry about LOVE…real love will find you…an incredible love with an incredible man…there is a beautiful rainbow at the end of your storm.
Don’t let other people’s needs, wants, desires, fantasies, hopes or dreams dictate your choices and decisions. Follow your own path, and don’t worry that you’re being selfish or disloyal.
You can read the entire story in the October Issue of Ebony Magazine, on news stands September 10th.
