The Bring It On star, who turned 52 on Tuesday, October 29 took to social media to embrace her new age in style. Sharing a handful of age-defying snaps, Gabrielle Union penned an empowering ode to herself celebrating everything she was and more. She began,
“I am 52. This is grown woman sh*t. This is being accountable for mess-ups. Being gracious when others mess up. Being open to being wrong and being proud and confident when you are right. This is loving passionately and unapologetically. This is clear and firm boundaries. This is sexy. This is audacious. This is fun and full of wild adventures. This is calling a thing a thing and not falling for the Okey-Doke of demanding better. This is being alone without being lonely. This is enjoying nature. This is fierce and compassionate motherhood. This is fighting for my people and yours. This is me at 52. Loving all of me.”
