MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade was back in South Florida on Thursday to do battle again.
Wade's daughter, Zaya, who turns 17 next week, came out as transgender in 2020 in the midst of anti-trans legislation in Florida and other states that prompted many trans adults to flee the state. The Wade family sold their Florida home last year and moved to California. Wade hopes Translatable, which is funded by the Wade Family Foundation, will provide a community to"support growth, mental health, and well-being, and that this space ignites more conversations leading to greater understanding and acceptance.” He said he will use the $250,000 in unrestricted funding that comes with The Elevate Prize Catalyst Award for Translatable.
Jayaram said that Wade felt empowered when Zaya came out as transgender in 2020 and it was “so deeply inspirational to us that we were just dying to be a part of what he’s building.” Wade said Translatable, built with support from the Human Rights Campaign and The Trevor Project, will focus on supporting communities of color and emphasize the importance of parents and family.
