Gabrielle Union – “Being Mary Jane”

But American network TV isn’t the only area black women are making their presence known. There’s also cable! And black actresses have been doing their thing as of late on cable too! Union included. She stars as Mary Jane Paul, a successful black woman who is searching for love and hasn’t always made the right decisions in obtaining it. “Being Mary Jane” definitely has a popular following. It went from being a TV movie to TV series with a second season on the way. Union has done fine after not getting the role of Olivia Pope.
