Earlier this year, Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade’s daughter Zaya Wade garnered quite attention after being granted for an official name change and gender approval. While her decision was lauded by fans and luminaries, it took people back to the story when Zaya was scared of her father and ran into her stepmother’s arms to hide.

In several interviews, Zaya has mentioned how her family has supported her throughout this journey. The 16-year-old revealed her biggest inspiration was her stepmother, Gabrielle Union. It was she who helped and guided Zaya during the tough times, which showed in her recent social media stint.
