As the war between Israel and Iran continues, members of the Iranian diaspora in the Bay Area are closely watching as people in Iran are being asked to evacuate amidst travel bans, fuel shortages and internet blackouts. The United States is home to the largest Iranian diaspora outside of Iran, with over fifty percent of that population living in California. We talk with Iranian community members and leaders in the Bay Area about how these latest events fit in the larger context of the nation's history, what it all means for the people in Iran, and how members of the diaspora are navigating the situation from afar. Guests: Persis Karim, poet, essayist and Director for the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies, San Francisco State University Hasti Jafari, playwright, educator Nahid Siamdoust, journalist; professor of Middle Eastern Studies, University of Texas Arman Mahmoudi, community organizer, BayArea4Iran Learn more about your ad choices.

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law on Wednesday that bans gender-affirming medical care for minors. For many transgender people, the ruling is yet another setback in a long line of attacks on their rights that stretches back through most of human history. And yet, transgender people have created a rich legacy throughout, especially in the Bay Area. Two new projects highlight their stories. One is a KQED series profiling important trans artists and activists from the 1890s-2000s. Another is a new book, “So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color”. We'll talk to their creators and an expert in gender law about the court's decision and what lessons we can take from trans history. Guests: Nastia Voynovskaya, editor and reporter, KQED Arts Caro De Robertis, author, "So Many Stars: an Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two Spirit People of Color"; They are also the author of the novels "The Palace of Eros," "The President and the Frog," "Cantoras," "The Gods of Tango," "Perla" and "The Invisible Mountain."

Some interviews take a while to drop in, and while the information might be supportive, the soul connection never occurs.  I was able to instantly drop in with Scott Grace, even having moments of silence, simply pure connected appreciation where there was nothing to do, nowhere to go... simply bask in pure presence and intimacy :-) And we laughed our faces off! I was in rapture as he continued to sing to me! In this high-frequency conversation, we also discussed... - How is it that he gives himself over to Spirit and is able to download lyrics that inspire people  - How Scott's songs can blast somebody's heart open on their birthdays or anniversaries, or inspire a huge crowd at a personal growth event - How the traditional educational path was not honoring of his genius, and how he bravely followed his knowing - How his understanding and embodiment of the Divine Masculine has shifted over the decades - How his Spiritual Dr Seuss video went viral, inspiring millions and confirming his gifts for this planet - How having your very own Affirmation song can be such an exquisite morning practice to greet the day in your power, joy, and freedom - And we got up to some multi-dimensional mischief, magic, live music, and dancing over on Patreon during the after-the-show episode... ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Scott Grace:   Scott Grace, who has been described as a cross between John Denver, Robin Williams, and Dr. Seuss, is wanted by the authorities for creating peace, as well as defying the law of gravity with levity. Contact with Scott is likely to be hazardous to your misery, as he has provoked outbreaks of joy in four out of five laboratory humans. It is alleged that Scott's work has so threatened to cut into the sales of anti-depressants that pharmaceutical companies have offered him millions to retire.  Scott gives keynotes using a stolen identity, a.k.a. the Spiritual Dr. Seuss. His feel-good videos on YouTube have infected over 2.5 million people with just four of his Seussian videos. Scott has been known to practice life coaching without a license, eluding the police by working on Zoom. He fancies himself an intuitive channel who smuggles wisdom and guidance over the border from beings he calls spirit guides, who are also not licensed, and who have allegedly not filed a tax return in several lifetimes. As a front, Scott does do various legal, above-board activities. He has written four books, his latest being Mindful Masculinity. Scott also has recorded nine CDs (remember CDs?) of his original music and comedy. He presents as an inspirational guest speaker and singer at churches, non-profits, schools, and corporate events. As an occasional stand-up comedian in the Bay Area, he has shared the stage with Dana Carvey and Robin Williams.  But don't be fooled. His rampage of Song Portraits, custom-made, personalized song gifts that honor people for their birthdays, anniversaries, or for no reason at all, has been killing people softly with their song since 1987. Authorities would very much like your help in apprehending Scott.

When Luis decided to ride from his home in the Bay Area to his grandmother's home in Guadalajara, Mexico, he didn't know much about the journey ahead. What he did know, however, was that it required more than just his Flannimal. Being a sucker for a good story, Steve the Intern wanted to help him problem solve and thought it would be a good idea to make a prototype Show Pony available for Luis' trip south. What resulted was a trip of a lifetime that brought so much joy, adventure, and understanding to Luis, not only as a cyclist but also as a first-generation American of Mexican heritage. In this edition of the Rodeo Rider Files, Logan and Luis talk about his journey, unpack the intrigue, and delve into how to accurately reflect Mexico's deep cultural facets without ignoring the danger that would be naive to ignore.

Alex and Richard discuss a handful of offseason stories:* The Pac-12's expansion efforts are coming to a head, and Texas State—not Sacramento State—appears to be the apple of the league's eye. Extra Points publisher Matt Brown joins to talk about why Sac State's extremely public campaign for FBS membership has not paid dividends. Read Matt's report on the Hornets' looming move to FCS independence.* The House settlement is now official, and depending on who you talk to, it's either an ironclad new system to regulate the college football economy or a house of cards just waiting to be toppled. Justin Williams, a college football reporter for The Athletic, explains these competitive views. Read his recent story: “Return of the bag man: NIL clearinghouse could revive paying college athletes under table.” (Of course, also read Godfrey's old classic.)* Playoff expansion might be stalemated, and there's a surprising group of people at the heart of the resistance: SEC head coaches.

The most critical feedback loop in a democracy is a free press and access to vital information. Yet decades of corporate consolidation allowed giant conglomerates to annihilate local news outlets and predatory hedge funds are leaving news deserts in their wake. In 2025, a fifth of people in the U.S. live with little or no access to local news and three quarters of newspaper jobs have been axed over the last 20 years. But new models are crystallizing to fill the void, thanks to innovating journalists and publishers. Featuring Larry Ryckman, co-founder and Editor of The Colorado Sun, was previously: Senior Editor at The Denver Post; Managing Editor at The Gazette in Colorado Springs; and City Editor at the Greeley Tribune.  Madeleine Bair, founder of El Tímpano, an award-winning civic media organization designed with and for the Bay Area's Latino and Mayan immigrant communities.  Jacob Simas, Oakland-based Community Journalism Director at Cityside Journalism Initiative.  Credits Executive Producer: Kenny Ausubel Written by: Claire Reynolds & Kenny Ausubel Producer: Claire Reynolds Senior Producer and Station Relations: Stephanie Welch Associate Producer: Emily Harris Producer: Teo Grossman Interview Recording Engineer: Rod Akil at KPFA studios Production Assistance: Kaleb Wentzel Fisher Host and Consulting Producer: Neil Harvey This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.

Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. KCBS Radio news anchor Holly Quan spoke with Bloomberg's Kara Newman.

When you hear “immigration,” do you think of people or capital? In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich breaks down a lesser-known but highly influential trend: the flow of global wealth into U.S. real estate. From institutional investors to high-net-worth families, five countries are significantly shaping U.S. property markets through strategic investments. This episode offers a data-backed breakdown of who is investing, where, and why, giving investors a clearer lens on what drives pricing, competition, and long-term opportunity. Key Takeaways: - Canada leads as the largest foreign investor in U.S. commercial real estate with over $184 billion deployed since 2015, driven by pension funds seeking long-duration, dollar-denominated cash flow - Chinese investors focus on single-family and condo assets near top universities, with motivations including capital flight hedging, education pipelines, and EB-5 visa incentives - Mexico leverages geographic proximity, with dual-national families targeting vacation rentals and income properties in border states and Florida - Indian investors are the fastest-growing segment, focusing on suburban tech corridors in markets like Austin and the Bay Area to establish long-term roots and benefit from rental yield differentials - Sovereign wealth funds from the Gulf region, especially Qatar, are deploying capital at scale into U.S. trophy assets, data centers, and private credit, seeking diversification away from petro-currency exposure - By understanding these trends, investors can gain a competitive edge in anticipating shifts in demand, asset pricing, and capital inflows across U.S. markets.

Coming from San Francisco's Hunters Point neighborhood, Guce has been a factor in Bay Area rap since the 90s. Before getting into rap, he developed street ties throughout Northern California. His first project was a group, Straight Lace Mob, followed by his own impressive solo career as well as collaboration brand Bullys Wit Fullys. His discography reads like a history of Bay Area rap itself, having worked with Messy Marv, Mac Dre, Jacka, Killa Tay, J. Stalin, and Philthy Rich. Through his label Git Paid Entertainment, he helped launch the careers of artists like Mob Figaz, Larry June, and Mozzy. After fighting an attempted murder case and being wrongfully convicted, he won an appeal and was released after almost 7 years in prison.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro02:22 Growing up in San Francisco09:10 Getting into the streets12:29 Moving to Sacramento16:31 Bloods & Crips23:28 Starting to rap32:11 Straight Lace Mob, Shadow & Woodie39:07 Pure Pressure49:20 If It Ain't Real It Ain't Official58:05 Bullys Wit Fullys1:06:47 Mob Figaz1:12:28 Killa Tay & Agerman1:14:20 Messy Marv1:37:01 The Jacka, Mac Dre1:42:33 J.

If you're a creative, performer or just someone trying to balance passion with mental health in a high-pressure world, this episode with Keldamuzik Diva is one you don't want to miss.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/keldamuzik-divaIn this Mental Health Monday episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire sits down with Keldamuzik Diva, a powerhouse hip hop artist, actress, producer and entrepreneur from the Bay Area. The two cover what it's really like to chase creativity and success in the entertainment industry while navigating anxiety, burnout and the business side of things.Keldamuzik shares how her journey started when she was just five years old, doing auditions and headshots during the heyday of shows like Full House. Over the years, her career evolved from modeling and acting to rapping, launching a beret fashion line and producing her own content - all while staying independent and true to herself. She talks openly about what it's like to carry multiple creative projects and how ADHD plays a role in her work patterns. Her therapist once told her she had “an addiction to creating too many projects,” which she admits was eye-opening.Mental health challenges are a huge part of the discussion. Keldamuzik gets real about dealing with anxiety, especially in an industry that can be both high-pressure and unpredictable. She opens up about how the pressure to succeed, the constant hustle, and dealing with gatekeepers can take a toll. Her coping tools? Kava tea, breathing exercises, working out and cooking. Therapy has played a big role too, especially in helping her slow down and manage her energy.A key part of the conversation focuses on the contrast between fame and reality. Keldamuzik breaks down the misconception that getting signed to a label equals instant success. For her, staying independent means having creative freedom, owning her work and avoiding the toxic “puppet master” dynamic some artists face. She emphasizes the importance of artists doing the work for their fans, not just the algorithms. When she's felt like quitting, it's been those fan interactions - someone reciting her lyrics on the street, messages saying her work mattered - that have kept her going.The two also talk about imposter syndrome, burnout and how important it is to stay grounded. Keldamuzik reflects on her experiences with performing, building her brand around strength and independence and rewriting the narrative of what it means to be a “diva.” For her, being a diva is about being assertive, not fake or flashy. It's about claiming space unapologetically.Toward the end, Keldamuzik touches on her philanthropic work with her beret line, which supports people with hair loss, and shares her hopes for an entertainment industry that better supports artists' mental health. She calls out the need for real support - emotionally, financially and mentally - not just applause.This conversation is packed with honesty, humor and heart. If you've ever chased a dream, felt the weight of expectations, or wondered if you're good enough, this one's for you.

Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Justin interviews Chris Reilly about his insurance career and how you came to join and lead Link USA. They also cover RISKWORLD 2025 and the DE&I Studio, where Chris was on a panel. Chris talks about how he volunteered for the DE&I initiative at Amwins and how it has grown over the years. Chris does not believe the current anti-DE&I rhetoric will continue for long, in light of the existing Title VII and EEOC protecting employees and applicants against employment discrimination. Chris believes organizations know what is right, and that they will do better with a strong DE&I program in place, reducing reliance on EPLI coverage. The conversation concludes with information about Link USA's upcoming events.   Listen to learn more about supporting Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion efforts in your organization.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast.

Soon, we will distribute a Call for Nominations for the ERM Award of Distinction. I'll update this episode's show notes when that link is ready. [2:32] Think about your organization's ERM program or one that you know of, and how it has generated value. We will have more on that in the coming weeks. [2:40] On with the show! It's June 2025. It is Pride Month and RIMScast and RIMS are dedicated to fostering an environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel valued, respected, and empowered. We'll dive into the real meanings of words and initiatives; words like inclusivity. [3:01] Joining me today to delve into those terms is Chris Reilly, the National Co-Chair of Link USA. Link is the LGBTQ+ Insurance Network. Chris is also the Senior Vice President and National Practice Leader at Amwins's Group Benefits. [3:17] We will discuss the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in insurance and risk management, how the pendulum has swung, and what risk professionals and employers need to know about a landscape that may or may not be changing as much as you think. [3:35] Interview! Chris Reilly, welcome to RIMScast! [3:42] It's Pride Month. For Chris, it's a great time to be celebrating oneself and celebrating with the community. He says there's no reason not to celebrate 12 months of the year. [4:14] Chris Reilly has had a 30-plus-year insurance career. His dad and grandfather had an agency. His father offered him a job right out of college. Chris thought he'd step up in a year or two, but he's still doing it 30-plus years later. It's a great career. He loves the industry. [4:47] The first part of Chris's years he spent in the Property and Casualty world as a commercial broker, most of those years with Aon. He jumped to the wholesale side when he joined Amwins in 2000. [5:05] Chris is on the employee benefits side, providing group benefit programs to companies through broker partners. [5:13] About five or six years ago, Amwins created internal DEI programs. Chris immediately volunteered to join the National Council at Amwins to participate in and help build those programs. He worked on a committee centered on making the workplace intentionally inclusive. [5:54] Chris served on that committee for two years. In the process, he came across Link, which was in the UK. Chris and a colleague convinced Link to bring it to the U.S., which they did in 2021. Four years later, Link has expanded into Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Atlanta.  [6:18] Link restructured this year with a national board for a national presence. Link kicked off Pride Month with a national virtual event. It had a great turnout. Chris is excited to continue to lead Link and help support the LGBTQ+ community and its allies in the insurance industry. [7:04] Chris notes that the insurance industry is still known to be a very conservative industry but from 30 years ago to today, there has been a big difference in inclusivity. There's constant evolution and change. We can always continue to do things better. [7:23] Chis says everybody is striving to do things better. That's why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs became so important for all industries. Justin says that saying the words Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion instead of DEI provokes thought about their meaning and impact. [8:21] Chris agrees; when we say with intention, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with intention, it's just better. Don't we all want to be included? Inclusion is an endearing word. Let's all come to the table. We need to be more intentional about the words. [9:19] Chris Reilly attended RISKWORLD 2025 for the first time and was at the DE&I Studio. There were speakers and panels. Chris represented Link USA to talk about who they are, what they do, and their mission for the LGBTQ+ community in the insurance industry. [10:21] Chris served on a panel where Link, the National African American Insurance Association, the Asian American Insurance Network, the Latin American Insurance Agency Networks, and the Association of Professional Insurance Women were represented. [10:43] The organizations work to make sure the insurance industry continues to be a diverse, inclusive, and equitable industry. They support each other and continue to press the message of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. They raise their voices for the common good of every employee. [11:17] Leaders from all of those organizations have been guests on RIMScast, with Chris Reilly and Link being the fifth organization represented. If more organizations are created, Justin will include them on the show.  [11:37] Chris brings decades of experience in the trenches to his role on Link.  [12:02] Justin says we're hearing a lot of anti-DEI rhetoric. Chris says a lot of it is noise. People are throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. In most C-Suites, smart leaders seek legal advice. If they haven't been doing anything illegal, there isn't much they need to change. [13:01] Companies that feed into the noise end up hurting their employees which can hurt their bottom line in the long term. [13:27] Companies need to cut through the noise and make sure that they know what's true and what's not true. They need to focus on continuing to do what they've been doing that has been working. [13:55] Chris thinks that a company scaling back its DEI initiative hurts its reputation. When they scale back, the employees feel it first. If employees don't feel good in the workplace about the culture that has been developed for employees, that impacts the work and the output. [14:34] Eventually, that can hit outside the walls of the insurance company. Insurance isn't a direct-to-consumer product so this industry doesn't get impacted in quite the same way as a retail store. [15:06] Plug Time!

Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and register today. [16:31] Let's Return to Our Interview with Chris Reilly of Link!  [16:50] There's no such thing as illegal DE&I! There is no legal framework about whether a company does DE&I or not. Companies decided that having a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce was good for business. [17:30] There have been studies that show that when a company has a strong DE&I policy, it outperforms its competitors that don't by nearly 20%. Teams that are more diverse and inclusive outperform homogeneous groups by nearly 80%. [17:57] When you have a diversity of people; when you include people of different backgrounds in thought and education, you get more diverse thoughts and you can create better outcomes as a result. [18:15] This concept of illegal DE&I is thrown up there to create confusion and get people worrying about what they're doing. [18:51] Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) is what companies would buy if they have a sexual harassment suit, a discrimination suit, or a wrongful termination suit. Employers take this coverage to protect themselves from that. [19:25] Whether they have EPLI coverage or not, before the term “illegal DE&I,” nobody was concerned about it. They all felt that they had the proper policies and best practices in place to prevent employment practices claims. [19:43] If there were this rash of claims suddenly happening, maybe it's not “illegal DE&I” but you're not doing it right. Fix the problem so that it doesn't become an issue. [19:59] What companies are seeing is that their policies and best practices have been working, so there's not a problem. If companies start believing that they shouldn't have DE&I programs, that will embolden individuals to be bigots, racists, harassers, and bullies at work. [20:25] If that happens, you will get employment practices claims. [20:30] Justin feels that we are seeing uninclusive and bullying expressions more now on social media than when he was hired at RIMS eight years ago. [20:36] Chris thinks that the world has changed and the narrative has changed and people feel like they're emboldened to bring out those negative personality traits in themselves for some reason. [20:50] Chris recently talked to a company where the CEO addressed the employees, to tell them that bigotry, harassment, and hatred have no place, and will have no place in the company. [21:16] He told them the company was built with a culture that respects everybody, that is about fairness and integrity, working together, and creating inclusive and collaborative teams, to create the best outcomes they can for the company and its consumers. [21:32] He said they are going to keep doing what they're doing because everything's going just fine. He said if we start trying to tinker with the DE&I programs, that will inevitably create problems and deteriorate the great work that you have been doing. [21:53] What's the ROI on DE&I? It's hard to quantify. When your employees are happy, they're doing good work, they're being productive, and the company is successful, that comes in part from the investment of time, energy, and money put into Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion programs. [22:08] You can try to tie ROI to some of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs when you talk about EPLI, Directors & Officers, and E&O insurance. If you don't have good practices, what you will have is employment practices liability claims around discrimination and harassment.  [23:01] HR will have to deal with the HR issues of employees, potentially defending a lawsuit. If they don't have these coverages in place, those defence costs can get expensive. You might have to settle a suit, which can cost more money. It's a ripple effect. [23:27] With more claims, the premiums of these policies will go up. So, if you're not following best practices and have to start paying out claims and higher premiums to defend yourself against these claims, those are financial factors to consider in the ROI of doing the right thing. [23:51] Plug Time! Let me tell you about the Spencer Educational Foundation. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [24:31] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centred experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [24:31] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. [24:35] Spencer's Risk Manager on Campus Program offers grants of up to $5,000 to universities and colleges in the United States and Canada to host a practicing risk manager on their campus for a one-to-three-day residency. [24:49] The Risk Manager on Campus program has been praised by both universities and risk managers as a rewarding educational experience for students and a chance to give back to the profession. The application deadline for 2026 is June 30th, 2025. Check the link in the notes. [25:08] Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [25:12] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with Chris Reilly! [25:34] The pendulum has swung one way. Chris thinks that it will swing back as smarter and calmer minds prevail, in the end. Organization leaders know what's right and wrong. Once the noise calms down, people will realize that we already have things in place to protect everybody. [26:14] We already have Title VII and the EEOC in place. I have told people that with all that's being said, no laws have changed. Title VII is in place and the EEOC is still there to enforce it. If there were crazy problems with this, Title VII and the EEOC would already be addressing it. [26:44] Chris believes the pendulum will swing back to the center sooner rather than later. Executive orders and attempting to change laws are not going to sit well. There are already protections in place to prohibit employment discrimination. [27:13]  Chris is the National Chair of Link USA. A couple of days after this episode, there will be the New York City Link-Up Networking Happy Hour, Pride Edition. That's going to be in Manhattan on the Avenue. [27:33] On June 26th, in Los Angeles, there will be a Pride Movie Night and Networking Mixer at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Chris says these events are always fun. Link tries to create personal connections between the LGBTQ+ Community and its allies. [28:04] We're all doing the same thing, feeling the same pressures, working in the insurance industry, and wanting connection. Some people work at companies that may not have anybody else like them in their firm. They're looking for connections within the LGBTQ+ community. [28:28] Link is heavily supported by its allies. They couldn't fight the fight without the allies. The events are about bringing people together in a fun way and ultimately, networking in the industry. People connect and build business relationships and develop businesses, as well. [28:55] We've got a link to Link in this episode's notes. [28:58] Chris, it's been a real pleasure to speak with you. I'm glad we're having this dialogue. I hope to see you at RISKWORLD 2026 and the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Studio.

This is a challenge to reflect God's heart—to be strong and loving, to walk in community, and to lead with grace that's rooted in security, not fear.
