Gabrielle attended the 56th NAACP Image Awards held in Los Angeles, California. And how does the actress not have a unique way of promoting art? On the red carpet, she wore a cut-out black gown designed by Monique Lhuillier inspired by the linear arches of the Chrysler and Empire State buildings. An advocate of social justice and equality, she is a regular attendee of this ‘Colored People’ Awards show. And as expected, she is among the top 10 best-dressed every year, and there’s no way she would move on without posting her outfit. And how can D-Wade not react to the beautiful lady?

While delivering his acceptance speech, Dwyane Wade talked about his daughter Zaya. He said, “Zaya, as your father, all I’ve wanted to do is to get it right. I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully you’ve taken on the public’s scrutiny. And even though it’s not easy, I watched you walk out of that house every morning as yourself. I admire how you’ve handled the ignorance in our world. I admire it that you face every day. To say that your village is proud of you is an understatement. Thank you for showing me that there’s more than just one way to communicate effectively.”

Wade’s love for his daughter speaks louder than words. Back in 2021, he sold his Miami mansion and moved to California. When he spoke with the Showtime’s Headliners, he confessed that it was because his family might not be accepted in Florida. All these actions reflect just one message: a father’s love can go to any extent to protect their child, and Wade doesn’t seem to fall off the line. And his support for Zaya doesn’t end there.

To provide a safe space for people like his daughter, the Wade Foundation launched the ‘Translatable’. It is an online community that supports the growth and mental well-being of LGBTQIA individuals by igniting more conversations, leading to greater understanding and acceptance. And the inspiration? Of course, their trans daughter, Zaya Wade. Well, in this world, there’s no one way of seeing right and wrong, and Wade’s action, like anyone else, is a father’s care for his child.
