February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Take this survey (link in bio) for the chance to win 1 of 5 $100 VISA gift cards—takes less than 10 minutes.

#MamaMogul Gabrielle Union and Daughter Kaavia On Parents Magazine Cover


Gabrielle Union and daughter Kaavia grace the cover of the May 2019 issue of Parents Magazine. See photos and get the scoop.

Gabrielle Union and Daughter Kaavia are on the cover of the May issue of Parents Magazine. It is Kaavia’s debut on the cover of a magazine, and at four months old, she is certainly the cutest thing we’ve seen in a long time.

Gabrielle Union doesn’t look too shabby either. Motherhood certainly agrees with her.

Being a working mom and Mama Mogul is something that Gabrielle prides herself in, and in the featured article, she shares how she has been adjusting to being a mom.

On motherhood

“I’m okay with life not being balanced,” she says. “I’m not hitting it out of the park in every area. There are times I should be studying lines, but I’m playing with my baby and I’m enjoying it.”

On her infertility struggle

“There was a lot of pain, and a lot of disappointment,” says Union, who suffered multiple miscarriages and unsuccessful IVF treatments over nearly five years. “I felt like I was not only disappointing myself and my spouse, but all the people who’d hung a lot of hope on us. I felt like a complete loser and failure.”

On adjusting

“An upside of being 46 and having been a stepparent is I give myself permission to be human,” she says. “When I need a minute to return emails or cry or mindlessly scroll social media, I’ll take it. I’m not trying to be a perfect parent.”

On Work Life Management

“I’m okay with life not being balanced,” she says. “I’m not hitting it out of the park in every area. There are times I should be studying lines, but I’m playing with my baby and I’m enjoying it.”

On the reality of nap time

“Kaavia went through a phase of not napping,” the actress recalls. “I was like, ‘When do I shower or pee or live?’ So I had to get a little comfortable with her crying, which I had not been. And then I took the quickest shower of all time!”

I am so happy to see Gabrielle Union and her daughter Kaavia and the whole family blending and thriving. What a great gift that they have been given.

Gabrielle Union continues to grow her #MamaMogul empire. A new season of Being Mary Jane premieres on BET in April, and her line at NYC & Company continues to be a huge seller. She also working on other projects as well.
