Dwayne Wade was on Ellen recently discussing the moment his son Zion made it clear that he was ready to love his truth.

Wayne recalls Zion coming home from school. Once Zaya our 12 year-old came home, first Zion, I don’t know if everyone knows (she) was originally named Zion born as a boy came home and said “Hey I want to to talk to you guys. I think going forward I’m ready to live my truth and I want to be referenced as she and her. I would love for you guys to call me Zaya.” Internally now it’s our job to go out and get information.”said Wayne

Wayne and his wife Gabrielle Union are extremely supportive of their daughter.
