Zaya Wade has been granted an official name and gender change.
Dwyane Wade's 15-year-old transgender daughter has been granted an official name and gender change.
The teen is now legally recognized as female and her name was changed from Zion Malachi Airamis Wade to Zaya Malachi Airamis Wade. In the court documents she added, “I contend that our child should be given the opportunity to decide for themselves at the age of majority if they want to move forward with changing their name and/or gender.”
“This Petition is not about Siohvaughn or Dwyane or their prior marriage, it is about what Zaya wants and what is in her best interest. This Petition is about empowering Zaya to live her truth,” read the court documents filed by Wade’s legal team and obtained by TODAY.com, on Nov. 28.
