The couple gave a moving tribute to their trans daughter, Zaya, at the 2023 NAACP Image Awards.
on Saturday was all the more vital: Their speech honored their trans daughter, Zaya, and focused on the need for support and protection for the Black transgender community.
Union referred to the NAACP as “an organization that had led us through over a century of relentless challenge, pain, triumph, and change,” adding that it “now stands with us again at the foot of a very new era of activism, a new era that demands our collective answer to one simple question: Will we fight for some, or will we fight for all of our people?...Black trans people are being targeted, terrorized, and hunted in this country every day, everywhere, and there’s rarely a whisper about it.
For his part, Wade brought up the difficulty that Zaya had faced in living openly as a transgender teen, saying: “Zaya, as your father, all I’ve wanted to do was get it right. I’ve sat back and watched how gracefully you’ve taken on the public scrutiny. And even though it’s not easy, I watched you walk out of that house every morning as yourself. I admire how you’ve handled the ignorance in our world.
