Wade announced Thursday, May 23, 2024, that he has launched Translatable, a nonprofit online community dedicated to supporting transgender youth at the Make Good Famous Summit after receiving the Elevate Prize Catalyst Award. – NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade was back in South Florida on Thursday to do battle again.
Wade hopes Translatable, which is funded by the Wade Family Foundation, will provide a community to"support growth, mental health, and well-being, and that this space ignites more conversations leading to greater understanding and acceptance.” He said he will use the $250,000 in unrestricted funding that comes with The Elevate Prize Catalyst Award for Translatable.
Jayaram said that Wade felt empowered when Zaya came out as transgender in 2020 and it was “so deeply inspirational to us that we were just dying to be a part of what he’s building.” Wade said Translatable, built with support from the Human Rights Campaign and The Trevor Project, will focus on supporting communities of color and emphasize the importance of parents and family.
“Not all bills turn into law, but they’re all acts of hate that affect our kids in very devastating ways,” he said."We know statistically that every time there’s an anti-LGBTQ bill in the media, there’s a 400% increase in calls to suicide hotlines by young people. We also know that we’re seeing a significant increase in unhoused LGBTQ youth because of family rejection.
