This week on TMI, Loren Lorosa sits down with Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne for a deep dive into how she actually landed her seat at The Breakfast Club, and it wasn't luck. She walks through her start as a TMZ tour guide hustling celebrity interviews off a bus, getting "hazed" onto the news desk, and the relentless campaign of cold emails, favors, and follow-ups it took to even get in the room for a guest-hosting shot. Loren also opens up about a brutally honest conversation with an LA agent about colorism that led her to build the Brown Girl Grinding brand, and the online backlash she faced before Angie Martinez stepped in to have her back. It's a real look at what "overnight success" costs.

TMI is the dynamic, new video-taped podcast featuring activists Tamika D. Mallory and Mysonne, the General. Their show takes an uninhibited look at the social and civil rights issues, pop-culture and politics. Together, they underscore the importance of social activism, awareness, knowing your rights and having a voice. They want you to know that being in service to one’s community isn’t old school; it’s real, it’s happening and its needed now more than ever. Their aim is to push our culture forward so that together, we can make the world a better place right now…and for generations to come.
