We didn't know that we were both from St. Louis, like, our parents went to rival high schools. We were born in the same hospital. Like, we were friends.”

Ryan uses her platform to raise awareness about political and societal issues that are plaguing our country today.
Recently, she posted a picture of herself wearing a t-shirt demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, the Black woman who was killed by police earlier this year while she was sleeping in her own bed.
“It’s been 150 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered in her home by Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankison, and Myles Cosgrove,” she wrote. “HER KILLERS HAVE NOT BEEN CHARGED! Almost every time, Black women who die from police violence are forgotten. Let’s stay loud!”

She’s an expert in the kitchen.
It looks like Bathe has been honing in on her cooking skills during quarantine! The mom of two showed off her culinary skills in an Instagram post on July 11, posting a picture of a homemade pizza that, to be quite honest, has us drooling all over our keyboards.
