Zaya Wade Biography

Zaya Wade is a model, activist, and influencer recognized for her advocacy in LGBTQ+ rights and transgender visibility. Wade publicly came out as transgender, sharing her journey and contributing to national conversations about gender identity and inclusion. Her family supported her decision to live authentically, and she made a public appearance with her father, Dwyane Wade, and stepmother, Gabrielle Union, soon after.

Wade's advocacy has led to recognition in outlets such as The Advocate and The Root, where she was named to the Women of the Year and Young Futurists lists, respectively. She interviewed former First Lady Michelle Obama in connection with the youth edition of Obama's memoir, "Becoming." Wade has participated in events including Miami Pride and the Truth Awards, and she has appeared in major publications and on television to discuss issues affecting transgender youth.

In the fashion industry, Wade debuted on the runway at Paris Fashion Week, walking for Miu Miu. She has collaborated with brands such as Tiffany & Co. and appeared in campaigns that highlight her influence in fashion. Wade was also featured as a Dazed spring cover star. Her modeling career is closely tied to her advocacy, using her platform to promote transgender rights and visibility.

Wade co-founded "Translatable," a digital platform developed with Dwyane Wade to provide a safe community space for LGBTQ+ youth and their families. The initiative was inspired by her desire to create supportive environments for both young people and parents. Through "Translatable" and her broader advocacy, Wade contributes to building resources for the LGBTQ+ community.

As a college student and public speaker, Wade continues to use her platform to support and uplift others. She is part of a generation of public figures shaping their own narratives and working toward greater inclusion and acceptance in society.
