Zaya Wade showers love on father Dwyane Wade
When Zaya Wade came out as transgender, the most difficult part for her was to tell her father Dwyane Wade. Scared, hiding in her stepmother Gabrielle Union's arms, Zaya was scared to tell her father her own reality.
However, since he told the truth to her father, their relationship transformed. While the Heat legend might not be a perfect father, he every day learns from his daughter.
In a conversation with Seventeen last month, Zaya Wade made sure that she gave her father all the flowers in the world. She said that coming from an African-American community and showing understanding, Wade made her a proud daughter.
"As an African American male, to be so openly and outwardly accepting," Zaya said about her dad Dwyane Wade. "Because honestly, him being raised in a traditional Black household in Chicago…the culture there isn’t very queer-friendly. I hope that it will continue to inspire people to allow themselves to learn and understand queerness before bashing it."
After Zaya Wade came out publicly with her trans identity, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union decided to move from Miami to Los Angeles. Last year in April, Wade told Rachel Nichols in an interview with Headliners that they moved away from the city and Zaya's non-acceptance in Florida was one of the reasons.
Today, Zaya Wade has not only become a prominent face leading the transgender community, but she has also used her platform to make change along with her father. Zaya has also tried making a difference by launching Translatable, an online community for trans people and their families.
