Siovaughn Funches Calls Zion/Zaya Her ‘Son’ On New Podcast

NBA star Dwayne Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union have been making headlines lately over their transgender daughter Zaya. The couple have been receiving praises as well as criticisms ever since.

“Zion, born as a boy, came home and said, “Hey, so I want to talk to you guys.. I think going forward, I’m ready to live my truth. And I want to be referenced as she and her. I’d love for you guys to call me Zaya”‘.

Zaya’s mother Siohvaughn Funches has not given any statement as to her feelings on her son/daughter’s recently publicized gender transition.

But she spoke out in a new podcast released yesterday. And during her podcast, she appeared to refer to Zion/Zaya as her “second son.”

We can’t tell when the podcast was recorded, but it was uploaded to Stitcher yesterday. In it, Dr Siovaughn Funchess-Wade discusses her walk in Christianity. Dr Siouvaughn has a Phd in Christian studies, and records podcasts aimed to motivate people, through Christianity.

The podcast episode is entitled, “God Is Good All By Himself.” Dr Siouvaughn reveals the importance of reading the Bible, and having a strong and open relationship with Jesus Christ.

At one point during the episode, Dr Siovaughn discussed pregnancy. Siovaughn explained to her listeners :

“If you’re a mom who’s given birth … or you’ve been in a room with someone giving birth, that’s a place that not a lot of people get to come in. For good reason.

So it could be a lonely place, and [it] could be an ugly place, a bloody place, a very painful place.

I don’t want to scare anybody pregnant. You can always pray ‘God have mercy on me, give me your anointing of ease in Jesus name.’

So don’t freak”

Then she gave listeners some of her personal experience. She told them, “My second son, it was like a breeze. I might as well have been watching Netflix at the time.
