How to pass a Pandas column as a batch of sentences in a 1-D tensor of strings?

I am struggling to pass a Pandas column (or numpy array) with size (2946, 1) to a Text embedding input layer in Keras with Tensorflow 2. The Pandas DataFrame object is just 1 text column with 2946 different observations.

According to the Tensorflow hub module documentation on this pre-trained word embeddings, the module:

The module takes a batch of sentences in a 1-D tensor of strings as input.

The network and input layer is defined as follows:

import tensorflow_hub as hub
import tensorflow as tf
from tenorflow import keras


hub_layer = hub.KerasLayer("https://tfhub.dev/google/Wiki-words-500-with-normalization/2",
                           input_shape=[], dtype=tf.string)

model = keras.Sequential()
model.add(hub_layer)
model.add(keras.layers.Dense(16, activation='relu'))
model.add(keras.layers.Dense(1, activation='sigmoid'))


model.compile(optimizer='Adam',
              loss='binary_crossentropy',
              metrics=['accuracy'])

model.fit(X_train.values, y_train, epochs=10, validation_split=0.20)

I get this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-36-cf8b37d02f89> in <module>()
      1 model.fit(X_train.values, y_train,
      2              epochs=10,
----> 3              validation_split=0.20)

    572                            str(len(shape)) + ' dimensions, but got array '
--> 573                            'with shape ' + str(data_shape))
    574         if not check_batch_axis:
    575           data_shape = data_shape[1:]

ValueError: Error when checking input: expected keras_layer_input to have 1 dimensions, but got array with shape (2946, 1)

How can I pass a pandas column or numpy array as a batch of sentences in a 1-D tensor of strings that the input layer expects?

Try to flatten your X.train.values from (2946, 1) to just (2946). If X.train.values is a np.array you can use X.train.values.ravel() or several other choices. If it's not, just convert it to numpy.
