"Last night was Zaya's first red carpet and we couldn't have been prouder of how she handled the questions that were asked of her," Dwyane captioned a picture of the family on Sunday. "She has emerged as one of the young faces and voices for the LGBTQ+ community.
So they did what too many parents don't seem to do when faced with a similar situation, they decided to go out and get educated. According to Dwyane, one of the first things they did was reach out to a male couple they know who helped them "navigate the right language to use the questions to ask and what to listen for.
They were encouraged to ensure "her most authentic self was represented and that her bedroom felt like her sanctuary," Wade told the audience Saturday night. "That may seem small, but taking the time to make sure Zaya felt seen and heard as she created her own space for us was key. It was key to Zaya's comfort and her confidence."
