Earlier this week, my girlfriend sent me a text message about this fast approaching event and told to me clear my calendar to attend. It was not a request but an order and I'm so glad she pushed send. We are definitely going to be in attendance, if you're in the greater Cleveland area please join us!
Author, actress and activist, (yes I'm an #alliterationaddict), Gabrielle Union will be sharing her thoughts about life topics and her New York Times Bestsellers book this weekend at @BNCrockerPark. Her book, titled "We're Going to Need More Wine: Stories That Are Funny, Complicated, and True was released on October 17 last year and has received rave reviews (see hashtag above lol).
@ItsGabrielleU recently became a Clevelander when her husband, Dwyane Wade came to play for the Cavaliers and speaking for the women in the city, I feel like we even got a good deal with the trade! So while praying that our winter weather, especially last week, doesn't scare her off I'll be braving the elements to hear more about her experiences and how they impacted her perspective to create the woman I admire today.

The morning of the @BNCrockerPark event, I joined a few other brave souls to get a copy of #WereGonnaNeedMoreWine by @ItsGabrielleU along with a wristband for priority seating and the book signing. The seating was limited to 75 people so the reward was well worth the risk. Despite the awful weather everyone in line was upbeat and excited about the event.
I had a great time talking with several of the women in line about their favorite parts of the book and why they love the New York Times Bestseller author. The theme that rang true for everyone in regards to the book was the personal tone used in her stories. “You feel like she’s talking to you”, “she makes you laugh out loud”,” “she pulls at your heartstrings and really keeps you engaged” we’re just some of the comments I heard. The first one was from a women who said she’s not a reader but couldn’t put this book down.
After making my purchase I headed upstairs to see the layout for the afternoon event so I’d be prepared when I returned.

We made it to the event 30 minutes early and the air was electric! There was seating for 100 people and standing room for another 200. Each seat was numbered to match the wristband we received earlier that morning. My seat was near the corner so I had a great view of @ItsGabrielleU, @DwayneWade and @Channing_Frye when they entered, see pictures below. Mr. Frye, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, hosts a podcasts called Road Trip and did a LIVE podcast during the book signing so it was a double treat for the audience. I've included still shots here but if you want EVEN MORE content head over to our FB page:
