Dwayne Wade and his daughter have launched Translatable, a community for transgender youth of color.After Zaya Wade came out as a trans woman in 2020, her family has recognized the challenges faced by Black trans youth in seeking support. Over three quarters (77%) of Black youth have reported hearing negative comments from family members about the LGBTQ+ community, while 67% of Black trans youth specifically stated that their families have made them feel bad about their gender identity. This reality has inspired Zaya Wade to create Translatable—a digital safe place where young people can freely express themselves through creative outlets—while providing a welcoming space for other Black trans youth in the community to access resources and feel a sense of belonging.
