Michelle Obama said, “You know, I mean, you know, I am just so proud of you for you know being just an amazing role model and embracing your truth. Right? You’re already doing this, so maybe this is for some other young people that are listening.”

Zaya Wade originally named Zion Malachi Airamis Wade was born to Dwyane Wade and Siohvaughn Funches. Zaya reportedly came out as a transgender when she was 12. However, D-Wade once revealed that his daughter has known it since she was just three years old. The 3-time NBA champion officially petitioned to change her name to Zaya Wade recently.

Wade and Gabrielle Union have always been very supportive of their daughter’s decision. However, the process was not easy, and it required some learning. Once, when Union shared a family photo taken on thanksgiving, it received some negative comments for Zaya’s looks. And Dwyane Wade took to Twitter to show his support for his daughter.

The ‘Flash’ played 16 successful years in the NBA. The Miami Heat selected D-Wade as the 5th pick of the 2003 NBA draft. He became one of the best young players in the league. And helped the Heat win the 2006 NBA finals against the Dallas Mavericks.
