This week we're highlighting a CULTURAL SHIFT
in family leave.
Our featured hero is:
- DWYANE WADE -
basketball star and NEW DAD!
This week belongs to Dwyane Wade, his wife Gabrielle Union, and his coach Erik Spoelstra, who are exemplifying a cultural shift toward supporting families.
When Dwyane Wade introduced his newborn daughter and announced he would take time away from basketball to be a father, I braced myself for the backlash, writes author Shannon Ryan in the Chicago Tribune.
Instead, he and his wife, actress Gabrielle Union, were greeted with congratulations from teammates, celebrities and fans. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Wade could take all the time he needed.
With my daughter coming a couple weeks early, she’s a little tiny right now, so we’re making sure health-wise that she’s OK, says Wade. And for me...this time right now, this bonding moment with my daughter is the most important thing in my life at this time.
As it should be.
