On this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren recaps the biggest moments from the Oscars and reflects on what it means to simply be in the room. From Teyana Taylor’s standout award season run to major wins for Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler, Loren breaks down why recognition like this still matters for Black creatives in Hollywood.

Plus, Loren takes listeners inside her live conversation at SXSW with Ciara, where music, media, and medicine come together for a bigger purpose. The two discuss using culture to spark conversations around HIV prevention, breaking stigmas about testing and PrEP, and why sharing information through platforms and pop culture can truly save lives.
