The family moved to Pleasanton, California USA when she was eight years old, and she later attended Foothill High School. Raised to be an independent woman, she took the words of her mother to her heart, and grew up to become an advocate of women’s rights. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in sociology from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

She was 19 when she was attacked and raped while working at a Payless shoe store, and would later sue the company for negligence, stating that the store didn’t warn her or the others about the robber who had already committed the same offence in another Payless store. She has since recovered, and become the voice of women who have experienced the same assault as her.

Gabrielle made her acting debut in the TV series “Family Matters” in a minor role, and continued her career with support roles in such TV series as “Saved by the Bell” (1995-1996), “Goode Behavior” (1996), and “Dave’s World” (1997), among others.

In 2000 she made her first breakthrough with the role of Isis in the film “Bring It On” (2000), and the same year portrayed Dr. Courtney Ellis in the TV series “City of Angels”. Gabrielle has since gone on to appear in more than 85 film and TV titles, with some of her most popular roles including as Syd in the film “Bad Boys II” (2003), co-starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, then as Evangeline ‘Eva’ Dandridge in the award-winning romantic comedy-drama film “Deliver Us from Eva”, co-starring LL Cool J and Essence Atkins, then as Mary Jane Paul, the titular character of the TV romantic thriller-drama series “Being Mary Jane” (2013-2019), and most recently as Sydney Burnett in the TV series “L.A.’s Finest” (2019-2020).
