From Well-Read Black Girl: Gabrielle Union on Racial Dynamics in Hollywood

I'm sharing a special preview of the new podcast, Well-Read Black Girl from Pushkin Industries. Well-Read Black Girl is the literary kickback you never knew you needed. Glory Edim, author and founder of the Well-Read Black Girl community, sits in deep, honest and close conversation with authors like Tarana Burke, Anita Hill, Zeba Blay, and more. You’ll also meet book club members, literacy advocates, and Black booksellers to hear what they’re reading and what it means to be well-read. In this preview, Glory talks with the one and only Gabrielle Union about her iconic role in Bring It On and the cheer movie she really wanted to be in, but didn't get cast for. You can listen to Well-Read Black Girl at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/ratchetwrbg. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
