Let's talk about taking control of our sexual health. That's grown woman energy. You may think HIV affects someone else somewhere else, but the truth is it's impacting our community and some of us are being hit harder than others. Black women make up just 13% of the women in the US yet account for nearly half of new HIV diagnoses amongst women. Taking care of ourselves is community care. Know your options, ask questions and protect your peace and your body that's using your power. Sponsored by Care for the Culture from Gilead Sciences.

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 baby, all of the conversation, conversations that shake the room. Now we have a conversation that we actually have already begin to have here on the podcast and it's a Real Housewives of Atlanta conversation involving K. Michelle and Portia Williams. If you guys missed that episode, it's only a few days old. So make sure you go back and listen to that episode after, before, however you may choose, you listen to this episode as well. But the conversation continues because K. Michelle sat down for a very in depth interview and she was speaking to nessa over at Hot 97 and she in the interview was having a conversation about everything that went down on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. And why do people think she is emotionally crazy, including she says, you know, Kelly, right, who was from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, told her, you're looking a little crazy and why people think that. Personally, me think that she should not be doing reality TV anymore because the trauma is there and it is obvious. But in being neutral to the facts, K. Michelle has been alleging that there is a plot to take her down by the ladies of Real Housewives of Atlanta, specifically Portia Williams. She alleges that Portia Williams is a part of this plot to bring in bad conversation and bad news about K. Michelle. And let's take a listen to the original moment from last week's this episode 7 of season 17 of Real Housewives of Atlanta when K. Michelle ends the episode bawling, crying behind Portia Williams in an oyster conversation. Let's take a listen to that first.
- [04:47]
K. Michelle
Then when I get to curse, being OK would be crazy. I am heartbroken. I watch these women who have dealt with things from gossip try to judge me.
- [04:59]
Lauren LaRosa
That vagina is clean. I don't know. This one might be a little scent.
- [05:05]
K. Michelle
Talk about a rumor that a disgruntled ex said:8 years ago. I already know who you contacted, what blogs you called to go read that and want to spread that. I think that is very disheartening and that shows the character of these women, the trauma that was caused by the rumor. It really hasn't gotten better. I can say I'm healed. I'm healed like a Lot of people, but I haven't and I don't know when I will. I'm not going to let y' all keep playing in my face. Like I don't hear, like, I don't
- [05:44]
Lauren LaRosa
see leave me be.
- [05:46]
K. Michelle
Because it keeps building up. And when it get to where it need to get to, I'mma curse all them the out.
- [05:54]
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, so now Portia and K. Michelle, they've exchanged words online. It's been the whole thing, it's been going down. We are coming up on a new episode this Sunday, May 24th. There's going to be, you know, season 17 has episode eight. That is going to be going down. But in preparation for that, I got into this full conversation. Now, first, K. Michelle talks about the plot and what she alleges is going down between her and the other women on Housewives. Specifically, she alleges Portia Williams. Let's take a listen. Portia, Phaedra and Drew were trying to take you down. What does that mean?
- [06:29]
K. Michelle
What that means is if, you know, you know, reality tv.
- [06:33]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
- [06:34]
K. Michelle
Everything has applied in a plan. And when it comes to me, it would be very exciting to watch me crash out. It would be great ratings, you know, it would be great ratings. It would look good for you if you could even crash me out.
- [06:48]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
- [06:49]
K. Michelle
You know what I'm saying? It's just like playing basketball, you know, it is what it is. I think people take reality TV as that, but it's a competitive sport.
- [06:57]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
- [06:58]
K. Michelle
And it really is. And this is it at its highest level for African American females. Like, this is it at its highest level. A lot of money to be made,
- [07:07]
Lauren LaRosa
a lot of things.
- [07:09]
K. Michelle
So when it came to this particular situation, I did not align as people would think I should align.
- [07:16]
Lauren LaRosa
And what do you mean this particular situation? Like, put me up on this particular
- [07:20]
K. Michelle
situation as far as storylines and everything in this show.
- [07:25]
Lauren LaRosa
Now, here's the thing. I. And I've said this multiple times. It's like, if you're looking at this straight down the middle, it's like, you know, Housewives and these reality shows, there are always these drummed up storylines. And K. Michelle has alleged on X, even when her and Portia Williams were going at it, that things were being produced behind the scenes. Right. I don't know if I believe that Portia would do something like that. Just in the Portia that I've met a few times. But you don't know. So we have to see how the season plays out. But I do think that this is gonna be a really good season. Based off of everything that is happening right now. Now K. Michelle talks about showing up on the show and not being who people expected her to be because of what they saw on Love and H. And I will say the conversation around K. Michelle right now is whether or not she's just doing this for a storyline because she comes from a show like Love and Hip Hop where there's a lot of drummed up storylines and a lot of fake drama. Let's take a listen.
- [08:24]
K. Michelle
I did not do what people thought I was going to do.
- [08:28]
Lauren LaRosa
What did they think you were going to do?
- [08:30]
K. Michelle
Coming from Love and hip Hop and watching my edits, you wouldn't know my heart. Like, you know, you wouldn't know. But people around me, that's why I've been able to make money in the business and do things because I've been, you know, they get to see, you know, the real me.
- [08:47]
Lauren LaRosa
That's right.
- [08:48]
K. Michelle
So watching a loving hip hop edit, you think she just gonna curse you out? You didn't see the two hours before she was there, like, no, I don't wanna curse you out. Okay, I will get you. So I feel like people thought I was gonna come into the show with this energy of rah, rah, rah. No, I'm the chillest one. Like, I'm very, like, I don't be in no dumb, dumb stuff. You know, that's not me. And I think they expected that. I think viewers and some of the ladies expected me to lean more towards them, you know, that would make them look good, you know, to come in around them and lean towards them and give them some. And when I didn't, when I said, you know, there's never, you know, a right time to do wrong. So when I came in and I decided to make friends with everyone, give it a genuine shot, you know, it's always when girls get together, they always this and lean together. I just, I'm standing by myself.
- [09:56]
Lauren LaRosa
And I mean, look, here's the thing. I think K. Michelle is a big star in her own. Portia Williams and all of the other ladies acknowledged that Portia literally is the one who ushered K. Michelle onto the show. Right? And that was a big part of it. It's like this woman is a star. She brings so much to the show. I'm excited for her to be there, which is why this whole conversation is just like, everybody's looking like, what the hell is going on right now? Because to everybody on the outside, we're like, wait, we thought the plot was, you know, K. Michelle Portia Williams gonna come up in this and be besties. The bestest with the mestice. Okay. Together, like frickin frack wasn't gonna stand a chance against K. Michelle and Portia Williams. That's what I thought at least. Freaking frack. For you guys who do not watch the show. Portia Williams and Phaedra from another season, it bled into this season about them being super close and, you know, taking on the show together. But I do think that there is something to say to fans feeling like we thought we were gonna get one thing from K. Michelle and we're getting another. And she says that that thing is her being chill. But now I think the conversation has turned because of this. Portia Williams fans are like, okay. It's like she's grown in her career and as a woman, she was super successful back then, but it's even, you know, bigger now. She just don't got time for the bs, right? That's what I'm hearing from her. But there are fans now who are having a conversation about whether or not emotionally she's mature to the point where even being on something like A Housewives makes sense.

Lauren LaRosa
Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. From the latest with Lauren LaRosa. And it is crazy to think that the first phone call happened over 150 years ago. Like, really sit with that 150 years. And now it's springtime, the weather is getting nice, everybody's outside, and it kind of makes you think, who haven't you seen in a while? That friend or that family member that you keep saying, yo, we gotta catch up. Maybe it's time to stop saying it and actually make the call. Plan a walk, a picnic, a brunch. Something simple just to reconnect. And, you know, through all these years and all these calls, AT&T has been there connecting people in meaningful ways. This is more than just a story of technology and innovation. It's really a story of human connection. So as we celebrate 150 years of connection, take a moment today to reach out to Someone that you care about, you never know how much that one call can really mean. Connecting changes everything AT and T. Connecting changes everything AT and T. Hello?

Hello, this is Malcolm Glabel from Smart talks with IBM. Today we're diving into a fascinating conversation with Stefano Pallard, head of fan development for Scuderia Ferrari hp.
- [13:35]
Stefano Pallard
Your pronunciation is strongly American. It's more Scuderia Ferrari.
- [13:40]
Malcolm Glabel
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.
- [13:50]
Stefano Pallard
Ferrari fans and superfans 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.
- [14:01]
Malcolm Glabel
You've got Ferrari, which has a long history, design history, and now you're interacting in a kind of digital space. I'm curious how you balance those two traditions.
- [14:15]
Stefano Pallard
When it comes to fan engagement, it's really digital technology. And digital channels are being able to create a deeper connection with our fans.

7 Healthcare just got less painful. K. Michelle said to herself, housewives in this interview, Housewives is the show. Yes, there's drama, yes, it's reality tv, but these women are supposed to be, you know, the elevated version of reality tv. Like, yes, it's mess and yes, you with all the bs, but it's elevated. These women, you know, are in their jewels and in their Glenda poems and in their Rolls Royces, but they still get to the shits when they need to. A very different situation in what she experienced on Love and Hip Hop and. And now I think because of this situation, fans are trying to determine if. If that is the case. Is K. Michelle at the emotional stability standpoint, where something like that would even make sense for her, even if it was going that way. And she alleges that it's not. She alleges that these women are not, although very successful, that it's not elevated and that it is just about a bunch of the drama. And I think for me, being a Real Housewives fan, especially Atlanta, it's like, yeah, there's drama. Yeah, there's storyline. Yeah, there's all these things. But there is a sisterhood amongst these women. And, you know, K. Michelle admits that to a certain extent. I think the biggest thing, though was when K. Michelle went deeper into the conversation about the allegations that her vagina stunk on this interview and how it, like, what real life implications she was saying that it had. It put things into perspective for me about even if this isn't the case, even if Portia isn't guilty of any of these things that she's alleging. Another thing too is just like as a woman, being involved in that type of conversation around another woman is just foul. I just. I don't know. I don't see. I don't got Portia for doing that. But anyway, K. Michelle, back to what she was saying. So K. Michelle is alleging that her son was actually being teased in school. Behind this. Let's take a listen.
- [16:51]
Care for the Culture Spokesperson (Second Segment)
Was weighing heavy.
- [16:53]
K. Michelle
And.
- [16:53]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [16:54]
K. Michelle
And I had told him. I was like, yeah, you affected my child. Like he was getting picked on.
- [16:57]
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah.
- [17:01]
Care for the Culture Spokesperson (Second Segment)
Ah, I don't know.
- [17:03]
Lauren LaRosa
That hurts. That's. That's painful.
- [17:05]
K. Michelle
But he's like, you know, our back and forth on Instagram, it was very mature. And he was like, please tell your son I apologize. You know.
- [17:14]
Care for the Culture Spokesperson (Second Segment)
Yeah.
- [17:14]
K. Michelle
So to get on a show.
- [17:16]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, girl.
- [17:18]
K. Michelle
And I be crying because I be mad.
- [17:22]
Lauren LaRosa
I'm like sad hearing this right now, especially hearing that your son was picked on for that. And I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a mom and just hearing that just like, it just. That rattles me in a different way.
- [17:34]
K. Michelle
Super picked on. And for it to be so stupid, you know, so stupid and so small.
- [17:43]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [17:43]
K. Michelle
Your child have nothing to do with.
- [17:46]
Lauren LaRosa
Nothing at all.
- [17:48]
K. Michelle
So for kids to be like, tell your mama dah dah dah dah. I was more dealing with him.
- [17:54]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [17:54]
Care for the Culture Spokesperson
You know.
- [17:54]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [17:55]
K. Michelle
In that it's a stupid, petty thing. But when your child is going through it, that's different.
- [18:02]
Lauren LaRosa
I didn't, I didn't know that.
- [18:06]
K. Michelle
You're trying to find something about me to make me react and you see my reaction and you say, I'm gonna use that as, you know, to poke her and make her talk. Because you're self producing and you want to get ratings. You think that you're the producer.
- [18:26]
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not.
- [18:27]
K. Michelle
You're not going to produce me. You're not going to produce me. You're not going to. Yo, yo, me. And people like, okay, so emotional. I have the biggest heart.
- [18:39]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [18:39]
K. Michelle
You know, and I get mean. I crash out. But no one ever talks about what it takes to get to the crash out.
- [18:48]
Lauren LaRosa
So look, at the end of the day, what we're learning here in real time is that reality TV really does have a. A very real implication on people in their lives once the cameras go down. K. Michelle is emotional because she's feeling something in real life. Her son has had to, you know, according to her, deal with things in real life. There's some real life behind this. I think that there is a grace to a certain extent that we can extend her in a situation for being triggered. But at the same time, I don't know about y'.
- [19:21]
K. Michelle
All.
- [19:22]
Lauren LaRosa
And this is whether you've been watching the show or not, just from my reporting. That's why I'm like, go back and listen to my. My episode where I talked about this, just in my reporting. The biggest thing here is that K. Michelle never said this, that we've seen so far directly to Portia on the season. Portia's still on the season, not in real life, because they didn't argue on Twitter. Has no idea that K. Michelle also has an issue with her, nor will K. Michelle point out who told her what I want to see the receipts. I want to know exactly where this is coming from. Because for K. Michelle to believe it and to act on it, to have emotion and, you know, put the allegations out there, it has to be from someone that she can trust. So they end the interview with having a conversation about, you know, just where things are now, where things are landing or ending at this current moment with Portia and K. Michelle. And here's what she had to say.
- [20:15]
K. Michelle
You can't say you bringing me into a friend group and you around here, you banging on my last known ex and telling him, and he telling me, you sitting here like you my friend. And I'm supposed to sit up here and be all open to be brought into this, to this friend group. And I'm your friend. I'm trying to be your friend.
- [20:37]
Lauren LaRosa
You have a.
- [20:37]
K. Michelle
You know what I don't like to do is go on people what people's reputation are, because I know I have a reputation, and that's not it. So I try to be fair. Right, but you also have to be aware, right? Your actions are not that of a girl's girl. They've never been. And if you started looking at the retailer, how much you love me, and I'm knowing everything now, to be fair.
- [21:03]
Lauren LaRosa
Did she know were you Guys friends at that time? Or is it like.
- [21:05]
K. Michelle
No, no, it's not about that. I got a whole husband.
- [21:07]
Lauren LaRosa
Right?
- [21:08]
K. Michelle
It ain't that. It's the fact that you'll see because I. Because I may be getting a little bit ahead. Right?
- [21:14]
Lauren LaRosa
Well, we'll see.
- [21:15]
K. Michelle
It's the fact that you were hiding something that you didn't have to hide.
- [21:21]
Lauren LaRosa
Ah.
- [21:22]
K. Michelle
On purpose. When I would have sang it, y' all went like, what do you mean? Like. But you sitting up here in my face talking to me, to my ex and he telling me, oh, and the whole time we filming, I'm sitting there like this.
- [21:40]
Lauren LaRosa
Wow.
- [21:40]
K. Michelle
I'm sitting there quiet. I'm not no fool. Like, do we see Never one of me.
- [21:46]
Lauren LaRosa
Do we see the rest of this on the season?
- [21:50]
K. Michelle
You gotta watch. It's gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a good one thing. It's gonna be. It's gonna. It's gonna be a real one. When it come to me, I'm sorry. I'm not coming in there. Falling in line. I'm not coming there. If you fake, you fake. Oh, if you're loving, you're loving. You had a bad day.
- [22:08]
Care for the Culture Spokesperson (Second Segment)
Have a bad day.
- [22:11]
K. Michelle
Okay.
- [22:12]
Lauren LaRosa
Have you and Portia talked since now? Mind you, we're just talking a few days later. Yeah, totally. Okay. If you guys haven't just curious where things are now, we have not.
- [22:21]
K. Michelle
You know, I feel like it was in a calm place, but after the Carlos King interview, yeah, sure. I feel like that's what made me be like, girl, you're tricky. You're a little tricky one. You're a little tricky one. You like to lead the narrative. You look, you're a little.
- [22:38]
Lauren LaRosa
You a little manipulative.
- [22:40]
K. Michelle
You ain't gonna manipulate me, baby.
- [22:43]
Lauren LaRosa
Listen when I tell y', all, I did not foresee this relationship going like this at all on Real Housewives of Atlanta. I had no friggin idea it would be like this. None. None. I am. My flabbers are gassed. Like, I knew that all of the girls at some point get into it a bit, but for her to be like F. Porsha, that is such a dynamic change from the first time we saw K. Michelle walk on screen from Real House of Atlanta and cry into Portia's arms about the need for a sisterhood in reality TV and her wanting to have that this go round in reality tv. That's why I thought it was gonna be so good. I literally sat on the Breakfast Club like I am. I can't wait to see K Michelle on the show, not only is she going to bring it in a reality TV world with all of the, like, you know, things going to get a little petty here and there. That's, that's the show. That's how you do it, right on these type of shows. But I just think she, I, I thought that she done reality TV enough where the only conversation around her we was going to have was like her in like a more OG type of space. Now there are people out there, you know, I saw a live that Carlos King did and you know, Carlos King reality with the King, who's also on the Black Effect podcast network here where you guys listen to me. The people do believe that a part of the issue is that, is that K. Michelle isn't the OG in this cast because Portia Williams is. She's the face of the franchise. I don't know, man. This TV thing, this world, it's insane. And then with housewives, you just never know what's real and you never know what's not real. So as the season continues, we'll be talking about it more here because, like, there's so many questions we can't answer right now and we need answers. We need them receipts. K Michelle, the reunion is going to be a hell of a reunion. Yes,

bit in the latest Speaking of television tv, the Breakfast Club is changing the way people consume their content on their televisions. Because y', all, we are going to be live on Netflix on June 1st.

Y' all may want to pay attention to this one because it's the biggest I told you so yet. Netflix made its first daily live show and it's the Breakfast Club Charlamagne DJ Envy. Just hilarious. A radio show on Netflix. Let that one sink in for all you radio is dead people. One of the biggest streaming companies on earth just said daily live conversation still matters. And peep the chess move. Netflix isn't just airing the radio feed, they're stripping commercials and replacing them with exclusive behind the scenes content, bonus segments, extended combos. That means that they understand what traditional media has missed. People don't just want content, they want access in real time. Community, consistency, personality. And that's exactly what we've been saying right here for the last two years. Down to the formula. The algorithm replaced the signal, but the format still works. Appointment, listening, live energy, culture in real time. That's the radio DNA with streaming suit on. And if Netflix is moving into live podcast radio hybrid territory, that just tells you where media is heading. Less polished, more personality, more direct audience relationships. A different delivery system, but same human behavior. That's why the Breakfast Club has survived and thrived and why live conversation still wins.

Lauren LaRosa
Story developing starting June 1st will be live on Netflix Monday through Friday, you can tune in and watch us live on Netflix, and you'll get the Latest with Lauren LaRosa over there. And then, of course, you guys know I will still be doing everything here on the podcast, because the podcast is where we get to really spend our time together. Like, I feel like, you know, when y' all are talking or listening to me over on the Breakfast Club, it's like, it's real cute that that's happy hour, right? Like, that's all right. We are happy out. We having drinks. We only here for a little bit of time. A little bit of time. Not a long time. But when y' all get me on the podcast, baby. Oh, we out to dinner. We spending money like drug dealers at dinner. We having a good time. We more in depth over here. It's just different. But you'll get to watch this on Netflix Live. You'll also. So all the segments will be there live, everything that we normally do on the Breakfast Club. But then you will also get a chance to see behind the scenes. You will get a chance to see, you know, honestly, like, we were calling it the war room or, like, the news desk, but when I'm pitching stories to, you know, Jess Envy and Charlamagne to cover, when we're talking through things and talking through topics behind the scenes, trying to. I'm trying to figure out, you know, as a producer, what is the point of view on this?

Lauren LaRosa
How are we talking about this? What videos and audios are we using? Y' all are going to get to see all of that. And I am so excited. It's so crazy because I didn't start off this episode checking in behind the scenes of the grind, but we'll do it right here. Back on the grind. I've been thinking a lot about the fact that, like, God really does deliver and really does prepare a table for you in front of the world, man. I remember my first day on the Breakfast Club. I said this. Yes, I was a senior news producer,

Care for the Culture Spokesperson
which, you know, that encompassed me being on air, you know, TMZ Live, TMZ on tv, primetime daytime show, but also just producing the news that is exclusive and breaking from tmz. Work with a very intimate team of, you know, people who are really good at what they do. I was there for seven, a little over seven years, and recently decided, yeah, I got some skin in this, have learned a few things, and recently decided that, you know, it was just time for me to leave, I think. You know, I have a company called Brown Car Grinding. It's A broadcast media production company. We have clients on the marketing side. We are in the show development space. But more importantly for me, my next goal on my list is, like, I want a show. I want people to learn me and get to know me, you know, my opinions and, you know, I was working on that with tmz, but I started feeling like if I do this here when I leave, I can't take it. They're not gonna let me own it. Um, you know, it wasn't structured the way that I wanted it to be, and that how I felt like I needed it to be, for me to really just grow as a brand and as a company. So I had a conversation internally, and from that conversation, I just decided that if right now I don't take this leap of faith on myself and launch Brown Girl grinding with Lauren LaRosa, the podcast, which will be dropping next week. I'm always be sitting here trying to figure out what would have happened if I did it at this time in my life where, you know, I have the relationships and, you know, people care a little bit. So I decided to step away.

Lauren LaRosa
And I said that because I wanted to manifest it. I wanted the world to know. At that time, those couple days I had, the Breakfast Club was literally all I had. I didn't know what was going to happen next. But I'm like, if someone knows what I want to do, if I put it out there into the world and in the universe, there's no way God won't bring that back. And since then, I've been so blessed to be able to do what I do here with you guys on the podcast, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. And now becoming, you know, a part of Netflix's first live daily show. Oh, my God, y'. All. 2026 has already, like, ugh, the wig is snatched. Like, God really does do his thing. Check us out. June 1st. June 1st. Monday, June 1st will be live on Netflix. I'll be coming literally right off the back end of the Roots picnic, so you guys will be hearing my coverage there as well, too, man. As difficult as things get, sometimes as much as you guys hear me vent on here when I'm checking it behind the scenes of the grind, because I'm figuring out so much in real time and for the first time, and I'm tired and I'm drained sometimes, man. Like, I just be thinking, God, that I'm learning, number one, to work smarter, not harder, and number two, that I'm doing it around people that I can learn from, even when it's tough because it gets tough, baby. Y' all gonna see in real time when we doing them, you know, in real life, streams them critiques. Ain't nothing nice sometimes, all right? But you take it and you learn from it. And I'm just grateful to God that, like, I've continuously been blessed enough to be put in spaces where I'm learning and I'm growing and I. Y', all, I'm about to be live on Netflix, their first daily live show ever. When I decided to walk away from my job at TMZ for no reason. Honestly, more than I just felt like it was time and my family needed me. But nothing was wrong at that moment at work. Not wrong enough to, like, walk away from a paycheck, right? Like, there were things that I did not like, things that I wanted to happen that weren't happening, offers that came my way, that I'm like, oh, y' all really playing with me in here. But at the end of the day, it was a paycheck, and I was still able to learn, right? And I walked away from that. And I'm like, I was so scared. I'm like, man, I'm gonna be out of sight and out of mind. I don't know what that's gonna do for my career. But, God, I, I, I trust you. And I know this is bigger than me. I know my family needs me right now, and if I just submit to the service of others, I know you'll come back tenfold. And look at where we are right now, y'. All. We are over 8 million downloads for the lower. Like you guys, a Lowrider community. Over 8 million downloads live on Netflix. Netflix's first ever daily live show and the latest with Lorna Rosa is one of the main segments within the show. Like, globally live, too. Like, we are live globally all over the world. I'm getting a hangout this weekend with the girls of Poor Minds for their podcast, one of the biggest podcasts in a game right now. Just going to have some fun with them because they're here in New York. They're also Black Effect. All of these things, man, I'm just so grateful to God. I can't say thank you enough. I also suggest you guys go back and watch the very first ever or listen to the very first ever episode I did of this podcast when I talked about just surrender my life and my. My will and my day to day and my everything to God and allowing him to take the will and just looking at, like, everything that has been able to like happen since then. Thank y' all for being along the ride with me. That has been another episode of the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. I tell you guys every episode and I I hope y' all know that I really mean it. Y' all could be anywhere with anybody talking about all of these things but y' all choose to be right here with me. I appreciate you guys, my low riders. I appreciate y' all so much. I will catch you in my next episode.
