Gabrielle Union: 'Women can have it all'

Gabrielle Union has said that women "can have it all".

The 37-year-old actress has revealed that her mother inspired her belief that women can attain all of their goals and dreams.

Union told Honey: "I don’t believe in a glass ceiling. My mum did it all, had three kids, got her college degree while she had kids - I sat in the classroom at the University of Nebraska. I was never raised with the idea that you can’t have it all.

"My parents got divorced after almost 30 years but I don’t think she would have attributed that to her work. But as much passion as she put into her work and her family she didn’t leave enough for herself.

"We can have it all but sometimes we neglect ourselves, our health. I’ve met so many cancer survivors, all these women who run companies who say, 'I had it all but what I forgot was me. I didn’t go to the doctor or take a spa day or take time for myself'. Call me selfish, but I can’t be everything to you if I’m not good to myself. So I make sure I’m all together in body and spirit."
