reborn and loving myself in a way that you only see on Oprah episodes when you’re like, ‘What the hell is my most authentic self? What does that even mean? I don’t even know who that girl is. I wouldn’t know her if I saw her,’” she said.
A “deep dive” into therapy, doing “internal work,” and lots of traveling eventually led her to embrace that “beauty comes in every kind of form”

Lately, you’ll see Union with an even shorter ‘do. This style, she described, she did on her own terms:
“So, I did a thing,” Union wrote, along with the smiling, blushing and waving emoji. “The movies always show women cutting their hair when all is lost but I wanted to know the feeling of making a change when things are gravy.”
Union acknowledged what a big change the cut is for her, but made it clear that she is absolutely loving her new look.
“It hits different and its foreign to me but I ❤❤❤ this new new,” she add, along with the hashtags “#SummerChop, #FlawlessChop, and #FlawlessCut.”

This newfound self love is something that Union is trying to instill in her daughter and whole family.
Entertainment Tonight spoke with Union and husband Dwyane Wade back in May, where they opened up about pushing their kids to be their “authentic selves.” The couple share 2-year-old daughter Kaavia. Wade is also father to 19-year-old son Zaire, 14-year-old daughter Zaya, and 7-year-old son Xavier.
Reflecting on their children’s accomplishments and aspirations, Union said with a smile, “We cry a lot. Or, well, I cry a lot.”
“We’re very proud, and I think what we’re most proud of is what we’re trying to do with them. You know, we try to push with them, we try to push [them to be] their authentic selves,” Wade shared. “We’re not trying to make them wear a mask or be someone that they’re not… we’ve done that since Zaya was three years old and we’ll continue now that Kaavia is two years old.”
