Lauren LaRosa (Host)
Hey, y'.

Lauren LaRosa
All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby, I feel like we haven't been in studio for a while. Like, we've been doing so much. We were in Philadelphia for the Norfolk Del State game. Delaware State University one. Of course, yes. And then we were in LA for the Ebony Power 100, where I was honored as a media maven for what we do here on the latest with Laura and the Rosa, the podcast, and also our work that we do over at the Breakfast Club. So Low Riders, that is a congratulations and a shout out to you guys. Cause if I made the list and it's because of y'.
- [04:02]
Ryan Seacrest
All.
- [04:02]
Lauren LaRosa
So y' all made the list. We was outside, and then we headed to D.C. i did a live conversation with Marseille Martin for the HBCU First Look Film Festival, which was an amazing conversation. Just about everything she's doing in the space of not just being talent, but like, creating, you know, television and movies. And from a very young age, too. I mean, she's actively doing it now, but I mean, with the movie Little and doing that with her family at 9 years old and where she is now, super inspiring conversation. I love being in conversations that with people that are doing things that I want to do that I am learning from. But then following that, y'. All. Oh, I got a little hair somewhere. Hair on my lip. Following that. Tamron hall drum roll, please. Tamron hall aired. Yes. So aired live on. Not live, but it aired on TV. It aired on ABC. And then after that, it also hit their YouTube channel. So you guys will be able to, you know, go and check that out. But I. I definitely wanted to take some time to talk about it in full and, like, just react on my experience here on the latest with Lauren the Rosa. So first of all, let me just say that it's just. It's fire for me to be in these spaces as a person that is like learning as I'm going. So being in the newsroom, you know, it's a very different experience than what I'm experiencing now with the Breakfast Club. And we've talked about this. It's. It's a big part of it is just like, you know, you guys get to know me a little bit more personal. The story comes from me versus an outlet. Even if it comes from Breakfast Club, it's me that you guys are hearing and seeing and censoring upon. So all that has been, like, really new for me. And there is good with the bad, there is praise with the critique, but it's also been a very different space for me because production wise, like, the Breakfast Club as a radio show is so different than working in a newsroom where, you know, there's like, it's like editorial and it's just. Just. It's different. So being on the Breakfast Club and seeing the impact of it. And I mean, when I say impact, like, literally, it's changed my life. In this last year, year that I've been there officially, but two years that I've been even associated with the brand. And I was on television in LA before. So tmz, you guys know, have their daytime and prime time evening shows, and then. And we in. In we. And in the daytime, they come on in between a lot of the big daytime talk shows. Like, I remember, you know, Wendy Page Six, us. I was at TMZ for so long. When I talk about it, I'm so used to talking about it as if I'm still there. But TMZ used to come on and then it would be Wendy. And then Page Six had a show at one point, and that was a lineup. And I remember Ellen was there, and then Tamron hall got her show, and then Wendy left and Sherri shepherd and all these things. So to be in a space now where instead of being as a part of a conglomerate because, you know, of a brand, right? Like TMZ is in that conversation and, you know, gracing conversations with these shows, it's like, Lauren LaRosa was on the Breakfast Club that I'm on the Breakfast Club, well, that freaks me out still. I literally have days where I'm like, yo, I can't believe I'm here. But also Lauren LaRosa on Tamron hall just like, wait, what? I'm a guest on Tamron Hall. And the craziest thing is, is that, you know, my goal. I said this, my first date on the Breakfast Club that I wanted to show God gave me the latest with Lauren, the Rosa, the podcast. And I remember doing the podcast. One of my biggest things was trying to figure out the video. And y' all know it has been a labor of love for us. I promised myself after I left Tamron hall that I was going to post more of my videos. And we're consistent. Like, we're here, we're in the studio, the studio looks great, we're shooting. But it's been such a different journey being the only person sitting and talking. And, like, it's my opinion, my voice, I. That's it. Like, I don't have charlamagne to bounce off of or Envy or Jess or, like, anybody else. I'm not in live conversation with someone. Like, When I'm here 98% of the time every now and then, we do have, like, guests, you know, very rarely. It's me. And I've always wanted a talk show to be able to do that. And then God gave it to me, and I was like, oh, shoot, wait, guys. So you're saying, like. Like, people are just gonna hear me, like, in this room. And. And I've had a little bit of imposter syndrome. So even with us uploading the videos, when I finally get out of my own way and I upload them, they do so well. But a lot of the audience is always like, why you upload your video so late? And I'm like, y', all. It takes me a lot to just get to the point where I wanna post it and wanna deal with all of the, like, engagement, which is great. You guys are commenting, y' all are opinionated. Y' all agree. Y' all don't agree. It's great. But I don't know why. It's just been a very different journey for me because I've been asking for this for a while. So to be on Tamara hall and to be there during a podcast or epis, where she's literally talking to me about things that we've done on the podcast. Mainly the Diddy Trial, which was a big turning point for us and a big turning point for me independently, I think. You know, being on the Breakfast Club, like, I said, it elevated things. But the Diddy Trial and, you know, everything that has happened since then has been a very different world of, like, it's just me. And that is very different. It's a very. It's like, night and day. It's also different than the newsroom because, like, even if it's just your opinion and it's just your quick take, you know, you're speaking to an affiliate, you have research to back you up, you have editors, you have, like, there's so much more that goes into it before the world gets all of this stuff. And I have to think like that for myself. Great thing to learn because I was talking to Marseille Martin in D.C. at Howard, and we'll have that conversation here on the podcast. I'mma get it to you guys this week so you can hear it as well. And one of the things she was, you know, talking about to the students and honestly to me, I was listening was just about, you know, she uses her everyday experiences and her voice and things she likes, she doesn't like. Doesn't like her trials, her eras, you know, the hard time people give her, not crediting her for certain things because she's so young and all the ups to create the content and to know even what type of people she wants to work with as she does it. And I was just listening to that. And then I went to Tamara hall and I'm like, girl, you got like, hello. Like, the. The mic is on, sis. Like, is this thing on? The MIC is on 5 million downloads. Like, you gotta stop. You gotta wake up. Like, you. And I'm not asleep at the wheel, but when I say wake up, it's more like, step into it. Like, you're not an imposter. You are here. You are driving this vehicle. The show is here, the people are tuned in. What you gonna do about it besides step up and do what you're going to do, what you say you're going to do. And we're delivering our episodes daily, you know, and everything as well on the audio side. But video, y' all has been. I've been like, lauren, you gotta do better. You're gonna do better. And don't get me wrong, my audio listeners, I will always make sure I have audio only exclusives for you guys, my little riders on the audio side, because y' all been rocking with me since day one when we ain't had no videos. I'm make sure I always do that. But being on Tamron hall just really motivated me to want to, like, get this out there more. And also the video aspect, but also just to hone my skills. Like, I was watching her navigate throughout the conversation and. And, you know, the first thing, you know, when we sat down, she was just so personable, so we sat down and I'm. The crowd is going like. Cause mind you, like, you know, they're, they're, they hype the crowd up before the show starts. But when you walk out, it's just you, the crowd and her and their reaction. Like we had to wait a second for people to calm down just for us to speak. And I'm like, man, like all of these people are here and excited for me. Let's take a listen.

Lauren LaRosa
And when you talk about things being such a good feeling, it's like, you know, one of my biggest things, I feel like I prioritize. And I always say to myself, and maybe I make myself a little anxious by saying this, too, is that as much as people are, like, saying, hey, we love what you do and all the things, I want to make sure that, like, that's not making me be comfortable. Like, I still want to, like, go hard. I still want to be inquisitive. I still want to show up trying to learn. I still want to, like, when I mess up, like, lauren, you messed up. You got to do better. Like, I just want to make sure that, like, now that people can see it and can hear and it's tangible. This, you know, this dream that I've had in my head for so long of, like, what I would be doing, how I would be doing it, it's literally like, like, I'm Waking up every single day, y'.
- [17:29]
Lauren LaRosa (Host)
All.
- [17:30]
Lauren LaRosa
And I swear I'm doing exactly what I've always dreamed of doing, right? But because I'm here, I just want to make sure that like, the quality stays here as well too. The quality of the work. So, you know, I get emotional or got emotional there because, you know, it's just take a little while. Like I'm grateful every single day just to be able to pay my bills off of the things that I love to do. Because there was a point in time where I was working so many other jobs, I lived so many lives career wise just because I was waiting for entertainment to pay the bills. So I'm just grateful for that as well. But it's just like a. I'm really here doing this type of thing. And I've always heard people speak about imposter syndrome. And I had a friend ask me one time, like, how do you get over that? Because you're in a space now where you know what you want, you've demanded what you want, and you continue to. And you know how you want people to deal with you and you know how to instruct people on your team and. But I feel like as you walk into new doors and new levels and you know, you're dealing with different things, that it creeped right on back up into you. And I was watching myself on Tamron hall and I realized I'm like, you've been dealing with imposter syndrome. Like this conversation I had with Tamron hall and she actually brought up, you know, a good point of, you know, just fighting your way into things. And I don't like it when people use the bullying my way onto the Breakfast Club. And that was shout out to Carlos King, that interview I did there, people always bring that up and always bring up that line. And I know people bring it up because it's such a strong, like you feel it. But I don't like it because, I don't know, I just don't want it to sound like aggressive. But I mean, shoot, I did keep showing up and didn't go nowhere. And another thing too that I thought was like, really interesting with Tamron hall was in real time. I think I realized what my niche was. So me and Tamara hall, we're talking about the Diddy trial and she's talking about, you know, cause she's a seasoned journalist, like she's been doing this for some time and she's talking about, you know, what drew her to the platform. And she found out about, you know, the Latest with Lauren LaRose of the podcast during the Diddy trial. And I have gotten a lot of critique about the fact that like I take you guys on a journey with me, I'm taking y' all to different events. We on the road. I remember one episode I did literally from the car at the BET Awards because I needed to get an episode in and I wanted it to be fresh right when I left the award show and I refused to go to a studio and I refused to do an evergreen episode. And, you know, but those episodes do so well for me. And Tamra hall brought up the fact that the reason why she locked into the podcast and what made her realize like, oh, this girl has something, was that raw. I'm bringing you with me. I'm barely edited. Let me tell you how I feel for real. On top of put the story together with some facts. Let's take a listen. We're seeing. That's what I liked about your and I like about your podcast. It doesn't feel over edited. Yes. I feel like you're kind of saying if I say it this way, I'm gonna keep it this way. And that's the authenticity of live reporting. That's why I always liked live tv because I used to tell people once it's out, it's out. I can't get it back. Yes. And it worked for me too because people also didn't like it. So now they're in the comments. Oh, now we're getting to the juicy part. Coming up, what could they not have liked? Because I Love it.

Lauren LaRosa
My goal in going on the Tamron hall show was like, I want the world to see me in this space and be like, baby girl, need a Talk show. I want network execs to see me in this space and be like, what are we developing? And why haven't we considered Lauren the Rosa? Like, that was my goal. I have a vlog. We were talking prior to this, and I was telling, you know, my friends. I had my friend Sharon Fontaine shared the beat, who is a makeup artist. She was there. She did my makeup. Dante the hairstylist, Dante Lloyd Dante, the hairstylist, did my hair. Shout out to Diggy Digg on Instagram, who was the assistant stylist. Jayvon James, who's my lead stylist there as well. And of course, Patrick Nuri on the cam. And all those names that I've said. Patrick is relatively new to the team, but he's been working with us since the podcast launched. But all those names that I've said to you guys, I've known these people since I was, like, 12, 13 years old. And we have always been doing this. Sharon has been doing my makeup since I was modeling back in Delaware, like, in high school, middle school. Dante has been doing my hair forever. I've known Diggy and Jayvon, and we've worked together in the fashion space and, like, you know, always been putting together my outfits and my looks for different things and photo shoots. And I've been, you know, muse of theirs for some time. So to be backstage with them, number one, that was emotional for me as well, because it's such a big moment. It's like, yo, we've gone from. And Jayvon James, who is my lead stylist, his mom was actually there with us as well. She came to see the show, and there's a moment in the vlog where she says, like, literally, I'm trying to get my words together to react after I filmed. And she says, I don't know if you're emotional for. We always knew this was gonna happen. And that got me. Oh, my God. I started balling because it literally, like, I've always known that this was going to be what I was doing. So to see it happen, just watch you break down. And it's just great to be doing it with people that, like, you've always been practicing doing it with. Like, you know, I do believe that, like, you do gotta meet new people along your journey and, you know, bringing new people and new ideas sometimes. But I've been blessed to be surrounded by people who have new ideas and who have passion and who are elevating, and they've been my tribe before, and we've been doing this together, dreaming about these things together for a very long time. So, you know, it was just natural for me to be like, oh, wait, I could put them on payroll. Come on, let's do it. But, yeah, I was back there. I'm backstage, and I'm telling them, this is how I want to look. Like my vision for this is is when those tam bam. When those tam fam doors open and you see Lauren LaRosa walk out. I wanted to give. I have arrived. This is my show. Sorry, Tamran, I ain't taking your job, girl. But I wanted you to feel that. And like, I. There were so many people who watched it and just, you know, their story resonates with them. But also, I think, you know, we accomplished that goal visually, which was, for me, it's like, everything with purpose. Like, I don't want to be anywhere where I don't understand why I'm there in accordance to my purpose and my alignment from God, like, ever. Like, no matter what I'm going through, whatever, listen, I always want to be like, all right, okay, God, like, what? Why, like, why am I here? What am I getting from this? What is it that you. I say that prayer before I start anything. Like, God, I just want you to speak through me. I want people to see and feel you through me. Let's go. Like, let's. You know what I mean? And whatever comes from this, whatever opportunity, I'm grateful for it already. And if nothing comes from it, I'm just grateful to be here and be in conversation, and I thank you for everything thus far. So that's always, you know, one of the goals, and I think that we accomplished it, and it's been a very successful, successful reaction. So if you guys have checked out the podcast. I'm sorry, if you've checked out the full episode, please let me know how you're feeling. Follow me on Instagram Lauren Therose. I'll give you. You guys that handle every episode, so you should know by now, but I want to know how you're feeling. I got to meet Blue's Clues. What's his name? The. The host from Blue's Clues, y'. All. I was backstage because they told me it was a podcaster episode where basically she was spotlighting people who work in Enter but have podcasts that, like, are, like, centered between, like, people and, like, entertainment. So, like, kind of like vlog ish, but, like, entertainment and, like, very, like. I guess all podcasts are people based, but that are reaching people, per se. Steve Burns. What's his spell? His last name? Okay, it's Steve Burns. I got to meet him. Steve Burns. Yes. I was backstage and we were waiting to go because I was a top of the show. So I was the first. Per the first segment, right? And I look up and I'm like, is that the guy from Blue's Clues? And we're all looking at him, and everybody wanted to say it and everybody wanted to ask for a picture. But we were all nervous too, because, you know, sometimes when you meet, like, kid, like, not kid, because he was a grown man, but he appealed to kids. He was a generational, like, talent that spoke to children. A lot of times when you meet people who, like, have worked in that space forever and now years have passed that are doing other things, they don't want to relive that. They don't want to be known as just that. So I didn't want to go up to him, be like, oh, my God, Blue schools. Can we take a picture? Do you still have the T shirt? But he was cool. And I. And I. But I did ask. I did take a picture. I did ask before I took the picture, like, hey, is it good if we take a picture? But it was exciting to hear about his journey as well too, in me, him backstage. So, yeah, shout out to Tamron hall and the team over there. I just wanted to give you guys a little bit of insider, like, behind the scenes. And, well, I didn't even mention how the moment came about. The moment came about very organically. So you know what's crazy? I had actually been working in, like, the publicist, like, marketing space. So when I. Whenever I am without work, it's a natural thing for me to just be able to, like, help people build something or tell a story in some way. And they paid me for it. So that is how I was sufficing when Breakfast Club wasn't able to pay me at the time and the guest hosting was. Was happening and I was out of tmz, just moved to the New York, had rent. You know, I've been doing some things with ESPN Inscape writing wise. And that came to full stop. I was like, all right, bet. Time to get the hustle on. So I had a couple brands that I was working with in the marketing and PR space and I was pitching a client. Devin loves numbers. He is an amazing kid genius. Shout out to devilev's numbers and their team. I've been pitching him for all the talk shows. Jennifer Hudson, Sherri Shepherd, Tamara hall, and I have friends at all these shows, right from EP to producer to ap, like, easily. Easy phone calls, easy text, and, you know, we were able to land some things. But in the midst of that conversation, the podcast drops. So in the midst of this conversation, you know, the Breakfast Club, you know, stuff is happening. I get back onto the Breakfast Club, all the things happen. The podcast drops, and one of my homegirls who works with the Tamara hall show, she's a producer over there, hits me up and she's like, hey, I've been pitching you for the show. A lot of us over here, I've been pitching you, we want to get you on the show. We're just trying to make it work. And there were a couple days that were thrown at me, dates that were thrown at me, didn't work out. And I'm like, they not interested. Like, it's not really much for me to talk about yet. Like, she has, like, real celebrities on her show. Like, what am I going to talk about? You know what I mean?

And that's again, the, the producer news desk girl in me is like, you are not the story. Which is. I feel like it's a great attitude for me to keep in what I do. Like, I gotta balance the two, but I gotta get away from this imposter syndrome. But, yeah, so they came back again with another date, and I'm like, oh, they're serious. Like, they really want me to do the show. And it happened. And after I wrapped, the two producers, one still there, one is not there anymore. She's formerly a producer of Tamra hall, reached out to me and was like, do you know how epic it is that last year around this time, you was banging out our door trying to get your clients on, and now they're like, we need to have her on this show. And not only have you on the show, but we need to lead the show with her. We need to have this conversation. I've been watching the podcast, I've been watching the Diddy updates. This needs to happen. And I'm like, man, you just never know what is in store for you. Like, never. And that's why I always want to stay head down doing the work. Like, I want to make sure that that is my, like, model. Like, if you don't know nothing else about me ever in my career, I want people to be like, nah. But she showed up to work, though. Or that girl be working. That is literally what brown girl grinding is like, nah, that girl be grinding, though. Like, she be hustling. I, I now that I'm maturing in this space and getting to know what I want, you know, what things I want to be attached to and what conversations I want to attach to me. I want it to be with substance, of course. Like I don't want to be like busy going nowhere. But imposter syndrome kicks in pretty often at the end of the day, guys, there is always a lot to talk about and you guys could be anywhere with anybody talking about this, but you choose to be right here with me. I am always so appreciative, my low riders, every single time you tune in, it's Lauren LaRosa. This has been a exclusive behind the scenes look into my visit at Tamron hall. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. I will catch you guys in my next episode.

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride. A game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard.
