Fresh off the Femme It Forward “Femmeland at Sea” cruise, Loren LaRosa checks in with a full heart and a fuller perspective. Surrounded by over a thousand Black women celebrating joy, rest, and sisterhood—with unforgettable moments from Keyshia Cole, Monica, and SWV—Loren reflects on what it means to pause, receive, and understand that out of sight does not mean out of mind.
But while one space poured into the culture, another exposed its wounds.
Loren unpacks the disturbing moment at the BAFTA Awards when a racial slur was shouted during a live broadcast as Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo stood on stage. She breaks down the apology, the burden of “professionalism,” and the exhausting expectation that Black people must always respond with dignity in the face of disrespect

On this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren is recording straight from Miami before boarding the Fem It Forward cruise — and the vibes are high… until the conversation turns spicy.
After Cam Newton’s viral comments about women’s “value” decreasing with children, Loren dives deep into the double standards surrounding single mothers, dating, and how society measures a woman’s worth. Why are women “devalued” for bringing life into the world while men are celebrated for the same thing? And why does the conversation always seem to leave out the full picture?
Loren keeps it honest — unpacking dating with kids, the baggage conversation, unconditional love, and the emotional weight men quietly carry. She challenges the narrative, adds nuance, and reminds us that value isn’t something that disappears because life happens.
