Lauren LaRosa
Hey, y'. All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is another episode of 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. So we always kick the episode off, checking in behind the scenes of the grind. And I am really so excited to do so on today's episode because I'm coming off of an amazing Father's Day weekend. I'm coming off of an amazing, just weekend full of, like, family love. All the things we did. Sister Strut in Philadelphia this weekend, shout out to the team at Power 99 WDAs. I just, it was. It was just an amazing, amazing experience. So Frankie Darcelle, she, you know, heads up. She is one of the jocks at WDAs. Legendary on the radio mic. Okay. I got to be alongside her. And Mimi Brown, Lorraine Ballard Morill, Patty Jackson, Cappuccino from Power 99, Roxy Romeo from Power 99, Johani from, uh, 1061, uh, Doc B, who I grew up listening to on the radio and going to and sneaking into his parties in dc, who is, you know, the program director down there for the Philly stations. And, like, first of all, let me just take some time to show them love here on the podcast because it felt like family. D.C. was so welcoming. He made sure I had everything I needed. His team shout out to, you know, Stacy, who works alongside him. And I'm saying these names like, y' all know these people, but you guys, if you've ever, you know, listened to any radio while in Philadelphia, I'm sure that you've listened to some of these voices, these legendary voices that I'm mentioning. But we did something called Sister Strut LA. It's a 3K walk in support of breast cancer that raises money for breast Cancer research, and it was my first time doing anything like that. Y' all know I talk so much about my mom's cancer journey, and although she's not a breast cancer survivor, she is a survivor of brain and lung cancer. And when I tell you, it was just so nice to be around other people who, you know, were walking in remembrance of people who fought a good fight, who actually fought the fight themselves and won or currently going through it, and it'd be a positive take on cancer. I remember when my mom first got diagnosed, I didn't even want to tell people, and I hated telling people what was happening, because the minute that people hear cancer, they literally react as if your life is over. Like, people will react to me as if my mom was, like, not here anymore. And I'm like, my mom is very much alive, fighting, and God got her. And it's because cancer is, like, such a. It's like, such a thing that we don't understand a lot of, and, you know, there's no cure. It's just all the things that go with it. But it was so powerful to just be in a community full of people who were positively fighting through their journey, their journeys, positively remembering people, just. It was just so positive. Like, it was so. Like, we're taking life literally. Like, we're taking control and taking back our lives. Like, that was the feeling of the morning. We started really early in Philadelphia. Xfinity live in, you know, Lincoln Financial Field, which is actually where the. The Eagles play, for those of you guys who are not familiar with Philadelphia, but that's where the Eagles play. So, yeah, it was a great. It. It was just. I can't put it into words. No better than saying that it was an amazing and positive experience. And to be honest with y'. All. So I. I got a hotel room in Philly Friday night to make sure that I was there. I was up on time Saturday morning because we had to be there so early. And my mom loves going to Philly. She loves walking rocky steps. And, you know, over there by, like, the Philadelphia brotherly love sign that is infamous as well. This. You know, the whole conversation is very Philly code. If you've never been to Philly, you probably don't know what I'm talking about. But basically, there are certain areas in Philly that my mom just loves going to and walking. And it was a great, you know, weekend. The weather was amazing, so she was like, I want to go. So I'm thinking she's gonna come. You know, we'll do a You know, are walking around a bit, spend time together in the hotel. She'll sleep while I'm up. Having to be at this, you know, walk by like what, like 8 o' clock in the morning, I come back, we'll grab food, get to do a little bit more in Philly before we leave. My aunt had a birthday party this weekend. She turned 90. My grandmother's sister. Happy birthday to my aunt Liz. And it wasn't even that. My mom woke up that day and was like, I'm coming with you. And I was like, mom, the walk might be too much because she can't do a lot of walking, you know, ever since, you know, coming up out of everything, but she's still mobile, able and doing all of the things. And she reminded me, like, girl, I am. I'm coming. So we went to the walk. They actually had like a fitness workout for like the first hour and a half. And it was so great to just be up early getting my body moving. My boyfriend's mom also came as well too, and his cousin came as well. So we were all there together. My cousin came as well. It was just a really great community fellowship moment in the name of cancer research and all of the things. But it felt good to be, like, taking care of ourselves. Like we were exercising, we were up early, we're walking, it's like positive energy. So we're filling ourselves up with that. So, yeah, so make sure you guys go and support and follow sister Strut S I S T A S T R U T they do these walks in various locations. The Philadelphia one is legendary though. Like, people were literally seeing my T shirt after we left and was like, oh my God, how did I miss the walk? I go every year. Yes. So shout out to them.

I'm still working on rolling my R's, but what I was able to learn from Stefano was the importance of engaging the Tifosi, the Ferrari superfans in the digital age.
- [11:24]
Stefano Pallard
Ferrari fans and super fans want to be part of something, want to belong to something. So they want to be part of a community and ultimately they want to be part of a winning team.

So I'm coming off of that high and that great positive experience and kind of just be very appreciative of life. I think, you know, being in those type of situations and meeting, you know, cancer survivors and people that are figuring it out and, you know, hearing from families of people that did not figure it out, it makes you really appreciate life. And then news broke today that Clive Davis, legendary music executive and, you know, icon, known for a lot of the music acts that he brought to the world and his infamous Grammy parties, passed away at age 94. If you're not familiar with Clyde Davis, he is responsible for Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson. He founded Bad Boy with Diddy, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson, not, I mean, we know Jennifer Hudson from coming through the American Idol train, but clap. Davis did a lot in her career as well. I saw a post that she put up in remembrance of him today, but it was announced that he passed away at his home in New York today, Monday, June 22, 2026. And, you know, so there, there, there's a ton of in, in memory of him happening right now. Now, no cause of death has been revealed at this time, but Clive Davis was recently hospitalized. And, and that's like what I mean by, you know, when I say, like, you're reflecting on life and appreciating life and just having gratitud fast. Yes, he was 94 years old. He lived an amazing life, was still very, you know, as present as he could be, was showing up to different industry events and trying to host his events. But he was just in the hospital over Memorial Day weekend. That was a few weeks ago, a little bit, almost about a month ago. And around the beginning of this one, around the beginning of June, I think it was like June 4th or 5th, he was released from the hospital. Now, when he went to the hospital earlier this month, a rep for Clive Davis said that he was battling a upper respiratory infection. But they said that he was fine, he was in good spirits, that he would just be released, you know, within the 24 to 48 hours that he had been taken to the hospital, that they just took him to the hospital honestly at the time, just as like a protocol thing. And then here we are a few weeks later talking about his passing and talking about him in, in memorandum. So you Know, just if I. If I didn't learn anything from being at that walk over the weekend, it's like you literally have to live your life to the fullest. And that sounds so cliche when people say it, but when I think about Clive Davis, when I heard about his passing today, I literally was like, God rest his soul. But I thought about the. The full life that he lived, the labels he worked at and helped to establish and put on the map, the careers that he helped to establish and put on the map, the experiences in life. Because he, you know, was not a person. Just, like, let life happen to him. He made life happen. All of those things are. Are things that I thought about when I heard about his passing. And I think, you know, for all of us, we should, you know, always just try our best to live and not just survive. And I think I'm coming up out of that now where, you know, I'm not always feeling like I have to be in survival mode. I am working very hard right now at this time in my, you know, career. If you guys can't hear it in my voice that I barely have coming out of the weekend that I had, I'm working very hard right now, for sure. But I. I have, you know, been very intentional about. Yes, I'm working very hard. Brown Girl grinding is the moniker, you know what I'm saying? But Brown Girl also, we gonna live too. We're gonna enjoy the things that we have worked very hard for. So I hope that all of you guys are doing that as well. Again, I think, you know, the sister shot, the organization that I mentioned, even if you don't know, anyone that is battling any type of cancer has or, you know, whatever, and at this point, I feel like cancer has so been so rampant in people's families, it's kind of almost hard to believe that people don't still a great organization to support because community is everything I'm looking at. People literally just speak out in remembrance of Clive Davis. And I'm thinking about community and the way that you impact people and influence people while you're here and what in turn, you know, that does for people as they get out and try to learn and survive and not just. Not just survive, but actually live. And I think we all should be thinking about that. So this, you know, I'm a little reflective in this episode. I think anytime you with family and, you know, kind of, you know, doing all the things in the community that that is. That's what. That's what comes with it. But I think it's okay to reflect sometimes. I'm learning how to do that. We check in behind the scenes at the beginning of this episode because I literally have to teach myself to sit still and and reflect and remember and check in. So make sure you guys are doing that too.
