This episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa steps right into one of the most layered conversations in pop culture right now. Loren is joined by NAACP President Derrick Johnson to talk about Kanye West’s public apology and what accountability actually looks like when harm has already been done. From who the apology was really for, to why where you apologize matters just as much as how, this is a real talk breakdown of platform, responsibility, and repair.

But the conversation goes deeper than headlines. They unpack mental health, public grace, community boundaries, and whether changed behavior means silence, service, or something more. And just when you think it’s only about celebrity culture, the discussion shifts to urgent civil rights issues happening right now in Minneapolis — reminding us that while pop culture grabs attention, real lives are on the line.

With Netflix’s America’s Next Top Model docuseries reigniting debate, Toccara Jones joins Loren LoRosa for a powerful, emotional, and deeply reflective conversation.

From being labeled “too big” to never getting real answers about her shocking elimination, Takara revisits her ANTM experience with honesty — but not bitterness. While the new series highlights trauma, Takara shares a different perspective: one rooted in resilience, faith, and self-worth.

She opens up about reality TV editing, beauty standards, and how she refused to let the industry define her. Now a wellness healer and mental health advocate, Takara explains how her journey from modeling to meditation helped her reclaim her power and step fully into her purpose.
