In this episode, we’re shining the spotlight on Laeticia Amihere, the Valkyries’ dynamic forward known as The Black Queen, rocking #3. A national champion with South Carolina under Dawn Staley, a 2023 WNBA first-round pick, and an Olympic medalist with Team Canada, Amihere has already made her mark on every stage she’s touched.

Her game blends length, versatility, and fearless hustle—she’s the kind of player who can guard multiple positions, run the floor, and bring a spark the moment she checks in. Off the court, she’s an outspoken advocate, mentor, and role model, using her platform to empower others.

Come hang as we dig into Laeticia’s journey, her impact on the Valks, and why she’s a force for both buckets and change. We Laeticia Amihere! 🏀👑🖤💜

In this episode, we’re celebrating one of the Valkyries’ most experienced leaders: Tiffany Hayes, #15. A UConn champion turned WNBA All-Star, Hayes spent over a decade dominating in Atlanta, powered through Connecticut, powered Vegas off the bench, and now brings her scoring fire and veteran wisdom to the Bay.

She’s a mentor in the locker room, and a proven sharpshooter who sets the tone with her relentless energy—on and off the court. Hayes isn’t just filling a role; she’s shaping culture.

Come hang as we dive into Tip's background and unpack why she’s a pillar of this Valks squad. We 💜 Tiffany Hayes! 🏀🔥🖤💜
