We’re excited to welcome Gabrielle Union to the Content Marketing World 2026 keynote stage.
Gabrielle has spent more than two decades captivating audiences on screen, with memorable roles in films like Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, Deliver Us From Eva, and Love & Basketball. But her influence today extends far beyond acting. She is a producer, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and business leader who has built a portfolio of work centered on authentic storytelling, audience connection, and meaningful impact.
In 2018, Gabrielle launched her production company, I’ll Have Another, with a mission to tell stories that amplify the perspectives of marginalized communities. Through the company, she develops television and film projects across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms. She has also executive produced projects including Netflix’s The Perfect Find, Amazon MGM Studios’ record-breaking romantic comedy The Idea of You, and the BET+ docuseries My Journey to 50.
Beyond entertainment, Gabrielle has built businesses focused on inclusion, accessibility, and representation. She launched Flawless by Gabrielle Union, a haircare brand designed for textured and natural hair, and co-founded PROUDLY, a baby care company created to meet the unique needs of Black and brown babies. She is also a co-founder of the children’s snack brand Bitsy’s. Across these ventures, she has consistently focused on understanding underserved audiences and creating products to meet their needs.
She’s also the author of the New York Times best-selling books We’re Going to Need More Wine and You Got Anything Stronger?, as well as the children’s book series Shady Baby, co-authored with her husband, Dwyane Wade.
For marketers, Gabrielle’s career offers a powerful example of how storytelling can shape brands, businesses, and culture. Whether she’s producing content, building brands, launching new ventures, or advocating for greater representation, her work demonstrates how authentic stories can create meaningful connections and drive lasting influence.
