Love & Basketball

I love DC sports and I’m a life-long Atlanta-anything fan. So when the Hawks visit the Wizards @Capital One, it’s a no brainer. To top it off it was Pride Night “Love and Basketball” and Riley Knoxx would be performing during halftime.

Riley Knoxx has quite a story. She ran away from her family as a teenager because they didn’t accept her gender identity and moved to Washington, DC.

Now at 38, she is one of the top Beyonce impersonators and is now the first transgender female to perform at an NBA Halftime. She’s also in Taylor Swift’s music video “You Need to Calm Down”, and she’s got quite a story to tell.
