Loren LoRosa is back with The Latest and starts Behind the Grind on a surprisingly joyful note, opening up about finding happiness in the little things, letting go of the pressure to constantly achieve, dealing with imposter syndrome, and learning that accomplishments don’t have to define her worth.

Then Loren gets into the latest courtroom developments involving Jay-Z and attorney Tony Buzbee. A major new statement from the Jane Doe at the center of the previous allegations is now playing a role in Jay-Z’s ongoing legal fight, while Buzbee disputes the circumstances surrounding that statement. Loren breaks down the competing claims, what Jay-Z is asking the court to do next, and why this legal battle may be far from over.

On the 100th episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren reflects on a weekend back home in Delaware, spending quality time with her mother and grandmother and celebrating Black-owned businesses. Then she gets into the power of Black storytelling—from Tyler Perry continuing to connect generations to A Different World finding a new audience decades later.

But after Jasmine Guy addressed the criticism surrounding her appearance and aging, Loren has a bigger question: Why do we celebrate our legends while also tearing them down? She gets candid about ageism, the way Black women are treated in entertainment, and why some people—and their legacies—deserve a little more protection and appreciation while they’re still here.
