Once again our fave Gabrielle Union is speaking out for the marginalized—and this time it’s her fellow Black actors in Hollywood who are currently struggling due to COVID-19.
It’s no secret the novel coronavirus has in essence shut down productions across Hollywood. And Union explained how the shut down is affecting Black Hollywood in a recent Instagram Live conversation with model Sharam Diniz. “For all of the Oprah [Winfrey]’s and the people who have just a lot a lot a lot a lot of money, most of us are one or two checks away from not having money to pay for all of our things, you know what I mean?” she revealed. “So this stoppage of work and money is impacting marginalized celebrities the most.” DEFINITELY not comparing struggles.
