Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Gabrielle Union is an actress, executive producer, activist, best-selling author and most recently, a Time100 cover honoree. Union formed her production shingle “I’ll Have Another” in 2018 with the goal of telling stories that center marginalized communities with their specific point of views in an authentic manner. In August of 2020, she relaunched her haircare brand “Flawless by Gabrielle Union” for women with textured hair. The new and improved collection includes an array of options, affordably priced between $4 - $10, that empowers consumers to customize a regimen specific to their texture and style preferences. Prior to relaunching Flawless, Union learned of the disparities in the food space and joined Bitsy's as a cofounder with the goal of making healthy, allergen- friendly, school-safe snacks that are accessible and affordable for all families regardless of their socioeconomic or geographical status. Her first book, We’re Going To Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated and True, was released in 2017 and instantly became a New York Times best seller. Union serves as a leader and advocate for inclusion in the entertainment industry. She is also a champion of breast health and combating sexual violence.

Ashley Evans has illustrated many notable books for children, including Whoopi Goldberg’s Sugar Plum Ballerina series, Gabrielle Union’s debut picture book, Welcome to the Party, and You Are Not Alone by The Alphabet Rockers. Born and raised in Queens, New York, she now lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her daughter. When she’s not creating art you can find her decorating cakes, enjoying her family, or catching a much-needed nap!
