Dwyane Wade, a former NBA star, is still making headlines off the court and is showing a never-ending will to succeed in his new endeavors. Wade strongly desires to use his work to bring about good change. In a recent segment from “Kickback Chat,” he stated that he wanted to share powerful stories and repeat the success of his previous documentary in other places.

In California on Saturday, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) staged its Image Awards Event. It happened ahead of an actual crowd three years later, with Queen Latifah functioning as the event’s emcee. Honoring accomplishments in theater, cinema, television, music, and literature is the goal of the award occasion. Storytelling has always been an effective means for societal change, and Dwyane Wade’s Oscar nomination illustrates this. Future generations are inspired by the duo’s commitment to promoting justice and elevating the voices of the downtrodden.
