She hosts a weekly radio show on KALW, and on Sept. 7, she’ll perform at Oakland Pride. She and her partner, Dennise Acio, also recently opened Golden Ratio, a cozy, inclusive cocktail lounge with a dance floor and giant disco ball in downtown Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Chase Center, LadyRyan and Shellheart hype the crowd during interactive T-shirt-throwing moments, timeouts and halftime.

She’d DJed NBA All-Star parties before, but the W felt different. “Just seeing all the beautiful women, all the athletic women — being around women that are wealthy, you know?” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Shellheart, this is it,” she remembers telling herself. “This is where you belong.”[aside postID=arts_13977457 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/RIKKIS-0326-fave.jpg']For LadyRyan, DJing on such a massive platform that centers women comes with a sense of pride. Her sets feature amped-up anthems like Beyoncé’s “My House” and Doechii’s “Nissan Altima.” “It just feels comfortable and really empowering,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Chase Center during Valkyries games, it’s common to see Pride flags, fashion-forward queer friend groups and couples on dates. But LadyRyan warns that openness comes with backlash: a contingent of incel-ish MNBA fans routinely post sexist and homophobic comments on social media. In the past month, three men were arrested for throwing sex toys onto the court during WNBA games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we weren’t discriminated against to begin with, we wouldn’t have to be proud about it, you know?

"info": "The MindShift podcast explores the innovations in education that are shaping how kids learn. Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
