We’re Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated and True—Powerful Essays on Feminism, Sexuality and Race Relations

We’re Going to Need More Wine by Gabrielle Union is a New York Times bestseller and NAACP Image Award nominee—a bold, funny, and deeply honest collection of essays exploring race, gender, sexuality, beauty, and life in Hollywood.

With wit and vulnerability, Union shares her personal journey—from her childhood in suburban California and summers in Nebraska to navigating fame, relationships, and trauma as a sexual assault survivor. She reflects on identity, self-worth, and resilience while urging compassion, confidence, and truth-telling.

Raw, insightful, and empowering, this memoir offers a powerful look at what it means to be a modern woman who refuses to stay silent.
