Dr. Siohvaughn Wade was born September 6,1981. Very early on in her life she was taught Christian principles. Her mother Darlene Funches planted this seed of faith in God. Later on in her life she discovered that seed of faith had taken root, sprouted up, and flourished beautifully touching and transforming the lives of many people, including her own life, and the life of her children.
Siohvaughn was raised in a home were academic success was a top priority and rewarded often. Siohvaughn was on the honor roll, and the participant of several extracurricular academic achievement clubs where she not only was a participant, but a winner of many academic awards. This continued on throughout her entire education. In high school Siohvaughn was enrolled in Honors Courses and AP (Advancement Placement) Courses.
During her last year in high school was awarded as the only minority at this time to earn High Honors with Distinction, the highest Academic Achievement Award. She earned numerous scholarships and went on to college to again succeed academically above and beyond expectation. Eventually Siohvaughn earned two bachelor’s degrees in both Psychology and Christian Counseling. She earned a Master’s degree in Intersession, and more recently a PhD in Theology. She is also accredited with having earned Certification for Domestic Violence Training for the state of Illinois, and Abuser Intervention.
It was during high school that Siohvaughn began dating her child hood friend Dwyane T Wade Jr., who would later become her husband and the father of her two children, Zaire and Zion Wade. This took place right after one of the most tragic and devastating events in both Siohvaughn and her parents life. Siohvaughn’s only sister Garrica LeAnna Woods was killed in a car accident, while away in Texas at medical school.
