You Got Anything Stronger?

**THE *NEW YORK TIMES* BESTSELLER** **Funny, tender, and so good. – Mindy Kaling, #1 *New York Times *bestselling author of* Why Not Me?*** **Here is that rare book that will not only touch your heart, but also send you back out there to stand up for yourself and others. – Meena Harris, #1 *New York Times *bestselling author of* Ambitious Girl*** **However revealing Union is on her feed, she’s even more so on the page. Blurring the line between public and private, many chapters in *You Got Anything Stronger? *hinge on the very act of disclosure, the moments where Union relatably brings social media more in line with real life -* The New York Times*** ** *You Got Anything Stronger? *continues the project of unshackling. It’s soul-baring work. -* The Washington Post*** *So. Where were we? Right, you and I left off in October 2017.* When I released *We’re Going to Need More Wine* , the response was so great people asked when I would do a sequel. Frankly, after being so open and honest in my writing, I wasn’t sure there was more of me I was ready to share. But life happens with all its plot twists. And new stories demand to be told. A lot has changed in four years–I became a mom to two amazing girls. My husband retired. My career has expanded so that I have the opportunity to lift up other voices that need to be heard. But the world has also shown us that we have a lot we still have to fight for–as women, as black women, as mothers, as aging women, as human beings, as friends. In *You Got Anything Stronger?,* I show you how this ever-changing life presents challenges, even as it gives me moments of pure joy. I take you on a girl’s night at Chateau Marmont, and I also talk to Isis, my character from *Bring It On*. For the first time, I truly open up about my surrogacy journey and the birth of Kaavia James Union Wade. And I take on racist institutions and practices in the entertainment industry, asking for equality and real accountability. *You Got Anything Stronger?* is me at my most vulnerable.
