Posted byBy Diamond Jeune | Published on: | Updated on February 8, 2022 CommentsComments (0)

Gabrielle Union took to Instagram on Feb. 6 to showcase what a typical Sunday is like with her daughter Kaavia James Union Wade.

In the social media post, the pair, who are dressed in their pajamas with beverages at hand, are dancing in what appears to be their living room to Curtis Mayfield’s 1970 single “Move On Up.”

As the clip continues, Kaavia James stops moving for a brief moment to toast Union’s glass of wine with her cup of orange juice. As the duo’s cups meet, Union says “cheers,” and the 3-year-old resumes dancing as she moves her knees in an up and downward motion while standing in a stationary position. 

In addition to the video, the “L.A.’s Finest” star captioned the upload, “Sundays With @kaaviajames.” As fans began to view Union’s recording, many couldn’t help but bring up the toddler’s moves. 

“Omg!!! This is just too cute!!! I mean….Kaav is all into it too…cheers, groovin’ and all!! She is soooo adorable!!!”

“That little mama is a WHOLE VIBE!”

“She definitely vibing out on a Sunday.”

“Sis said she has her ‘drink and her 2 step’ lol.”

“Kaavia was feeling that thang.”

Among the dancing remarks, others expressed how much they enjoyed watching videos of Kaavia James. One wrote, “Love this mommy and me moment in time!! #kaaviajames is such a joy to watch. Thank you, for sharing these sweet moments with us @gabunion.”

Another said while mentioning Kaavia James’ personality, “Kaavia is so dang cute! I love watching videos of her. She definitely has a personality full of life.”

Kaavia James and Union’s video comes weeks after the pair made headlines for wearing similar hairpieces while filming an impromptu skit. In the video shared on Jan. 20, Union was seen breaking into character while sitting next to her daughter and telling a fictional story about when the duo went to Belgium.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
