  • Loren’s pretty but…

    I respectfully don’t get how shallow this podcast and the topics are and lack a lot of depth when it comes to her opinions vs facts. I hung in a long as I could only because she’s gorgeous black young woman. I wish her well and much success!!!

  • Great Show!!!!

    I am happy to see you grow. I always felt you should have been the 3rd host in the breakfast club. I am glad you were able to make your own lane.

    Please just be a little more organized with your thoughts and words. Please keep cutting your with Charla. It’s hilarious.

  • Get to the point!

    Loren! Listen I love you on the breakfast club, but this right here?! Stick to the facts! I’m taking journalism right now and I was excited to hear you were doing a podcast but I can barely listen to it. Too much opinion, not enough fact! You get to talking, then get sidetracked with opinion then it causes you to repeat a lot of information, causing my brain to say “GET TO THE POINT!” I know you say talking too much has gotten you far, but let’s have real weight behind these words, make sure all... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

That Joke Went Too Far” | George Floyd’s Brother Terrence Floyd Responds
Q: If this could be done differently, what would you advise Kevin Hart? How would you advise Netflix to handle such material in the future?
He suggests embedding people who understand culture on boards and planning stages, ensuring content is planned with cross-cultural awareness and that jokes do not disproportionately target a single community, aiming for an even playing field in comedy.
That Joke Went Too Far” | George Floyd’s Brother Terrence Floyd Responds
Q: Who do you feel the responsibility should have been on to say, okay, no, you can't do this joke? Do you feel like that's Kevin Hart that should have stopped that? Or do you feel like it's Netflix or both?
Terrence Floyd indicates that the primary responsibility lies with Netflix producers who approve and air the content, while still acknowledging Kevin Hart as the comedian but emphasizing the importance of cultural sensitivity and accountability in production choices.
Kanye’s Comeback in Question… + A Heartbreaking Missing Case Update
Q: What does the path forward look like for someone trying to return to the stage after widespread backlash?
The host suggests it depends on genuine behavioral change and sustained education, with ongoing reflection from communities most affected, rather than a single apology or comeback moment.
Black Maternal Health Week Part 2
Q: How can someone navigate insurance barriers to get the screenings they need?
Listeners are urged to understand their insurance coverage, ask about testing timelines, and consider newer companies or resources that fill gaps, including international options if needed, to ensure access to necessary screenings.
Black Maternal Health Week Part 2
Q: What should someone look for when choosing a new OB-GYN or primary care provider?
The guest emphasizes interviewing providers, verifying accessibility (like after-hours contact), and ensuring the provider takes a holistic view of health, including heart health, sleep, and lifestyle, not just gynecological care.
