During a current interview with Yahoo Life, Union opened up about instilling vital values in her daughter and step-children, particularly in terms of serving to others.
“It’s really about leading by example,” Union defined. “We know a lot of people who talk a big game and all they do is write checks, but there’s no connection; there’s no humanity. There’s no acknowledging of somebody else’s humanity. So actually getting to know people and creating mentorships where there have been none [and making] real connections. And I think that’s kind of what’s missing from a lot of giving is really recognizing the humanity of folks and that they’re not unlike you. We’re all a few steps away from being in the same boat, and we just never prioritize stuff.”
