Posted byBy Sierra Porter | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Actress Gabrielle Union now is among many to go back down memory lane to participate in the #UntilTommorow challenge on Instagram after being tagged in legendary songstress Janet Jackson’s #UntilTommorow post. 

“#UntilTomorrow @gabunion @teyanataylor @ciara @naomi @normani @alexwangny @realjohnnygill22 @ghsduldulao @prestonmakeup @missymisdemeanorelliott 😝,” Jackson wrote for her caption.

“Oh, boy!!! Let’s see what I got in the vault,” Union commented on Jackson’s post. 

Union then uploaded a double-face photo from her childhood wearing a purple sweater and pigtails.

“#UntilTomorrow 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,” Union captioned her photo.

The 47-year-old Union garnered favorable views from fans who thought the picture was hilarious and were awed at the fact that Union pretty much looks the same as she did when she was a child.

“This pic is PEAK elementary school. Like… I hear the class bells just looking at it.”

“The double photo just destroys me 😂.”

“Looking the same and s%^#!!! 🙌🏾.”

“Look the same❤️,” Tina Lawson, Beyoncé’s mother, wrote to Union. 

“U look the same dude,” Comedian DeRay Davis commented. 

“See who still looks the same. 😍.”

“OMG, you have not changed 😱😱😱.” 

Union tagged fellow actress Meagan Good, with whom she co-starred in “Think Like A Man,” and “Think Like A Man Too” as well as Jackson. Good also participated. 

Good responded to Union tagging her in the photo. 

“Yeeeees!!! Lol so good! 🥰🥰🥰🥰.” 

So, how does the #UntilTomorrow challenge work?

The challenge begins when someone likes the other person’s photo.

Then the person who posted the picture will send direct messages to the people who liked the photo, telling them they must upload a picture of themselves and leave it up for 24 hours, thus creating the #UntilTomorrow challenge. 

 Check out Good’s and Jackson’s #UntilTomorrow photos below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
