The Future is Here!

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade‘s fans expressed the idea that the couple’s daughter Kaavia James Union Wade may have a future in activism after the toddler raised a clenched fist in the air while attending Disney’s premiere of “Cheaper by the Dozen,” which Union stars in.

A raised fist symbolizes solidarity and strength. Kaavia James, who wore a polka dot halter dress that was similar to her mother’s ensemble, attended the event on March 17 and was seen posing alongside her friend Crosby Sparrow when the unforgettable moment occurred.

Alongside the stream of images from the premiere, the post’s caption read, “The Revolution Will Be Televised. You know what time it is.” As fans viewed Kaavia James’ upload, many mentioned the 3-year-old’s gesture.

“Not the little fist! absolutely love it.”

“Look at her lil fist.”

“Miss Kaavia Knew The Assignment Fight The Power”

“Not the black power fist. Look at our future activist.”

“She raised a clenched fist… Girl, you know you got that power you do!!!

Among the fist remarks, others applauded Gabrielle and Dwyane for their parenting skills. One wrote, “I love the way you guys are with Kaavia raising such a confident little girl.” Another said, “Raising a superstar/queen. Great job, mom and dad. That’s where it begins!”

A third person went as far as to praise the couple for allowing their children “shine” and be their authentic selves. That person stated, “Love, Love, Love. I love how they let their babies shine and be transparent and live in their truth Go Kaavia.”

This isn’t the first time fans raved over Gabrielle’s parenting techniques. Last August, the “L.A.’s Finest” star taught Kaavia James the importance of self-love while discussing their beauty marks in a short clip. 

In addition to the touching video, the caption served as a PSA to those who have moles. It  read, “Guac-A-MOLE!! We’ve got moles! PSA. If your moles change size or shape, don’t make a TikTok, make a Drs appointment #ShadyBaby.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
