ZAYA WADE – DWAYNE WADE’S DAUGHTER
Basketball is often seen as a very masculine sport, where traces of femininity might be frowned upon. However, not everyone in the game adheres to this old-fashioned way of thinking. Just take former NBA baller, Dwayne Wade. When his son, Zion, spoke to them about wanting to change their name to Zaya and their pronouns to she and her, Dwayne showed unwavering support.
He has also been very public about this as well, even posting about the change on social media. This was met with some backlash, but we give this dad credit for being steadfast and protecting his daughter from naysayers.
