Dating/Relationship Confessions ( Ari Lennox on toxic love and Michelle Obama gets real about marriage)

from The Latest with Loren LoRosa · host The Black Effect Podcast Network and iHeartPodcasts

On this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren checks in behind the scenes of the grind as she prepares for an exciting panel at SXSW (South by Southwest), where she’ll be joining Ciara and health professionals to discuss HIV prevention and how entertainment and culture help spark important conversations. Then Loren dives into the online debate sparked by Ari Lennox, who recently admitted she’s often been drawn to toxic energy in relationships instead of the “nice guys.” Loren breaks down why Ari’s honesty about dating, healing, and accountability is something many women can relate to. She also touches on how women like Lori Harvey often face criticism for dating publicly while simply figuring out what they want. Plus, Loren reacts to a candid moment from Michelle Obama discussing her marriage to Barack Obama, where she revealed that some of the hardest years in their relationship came while raising kids — and why pushing through those seasons helped strengthen their marriage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
