They both wore matching sweaters. Zaya matched them with wide-leg denim jeans, while her stepmother wore brown leather pants.

PRIDE AND ACCEPTANCE

Union and Wade don't just post beautiful pictures of and with Zaya on their Instagram accounts. They are also very supportive of her journey as a transgender woman.

Both claimed they spent some time educating themselves. Wade said he came from quite a male-dominated background as an ex-basketball player but chose to step out of that zone and learn.

Union also spoke about Zaya coming out, expressing that her announcement was met with the utmost love. She expressed that she and Wade always want their children to feel like they can be their authentic selves.

Even before Zaya came out, the couple has been active supporters of the LGBTQ+ community. Union, Wade, and Zion all attended a Pride parade together in 2019, showing their support for the community.

They also accompanied Zaya to the 2020 Truth Awards, an event that commemorates Black LGBTQ+ individuals. This was the first time now 14-year-old walked down the red carpet since coming out as transgender.
