Speaker 1 (00:01):
George. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everybody. You don't know if you don't lie
about that, right, Lauren cant Hey, y'all, what's up. It's
Lauren L. Rosa and this is the latest with Lauren L. Rosa.
This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,
and the conversations that shake the room. Baby. Now, every

(00:22):
now and then I give y'all a little sprinkle of
an exclusive, but today the exclusive not even exclusive, because
it's all over the world wide Web. It's all over
Beyonce's Internet. At this point, we ain't even checking it.
Behind the scenes of the Grind because I am flabbergascid, y'all.
Taylor Rooks, broadcaster, media personality, sportscaster, the tailor Rooks. I

(00:45):
think all of us, you know, the black girls and
media and you know and reporting, we root so much
for Taylor Rooks as we do a lot of the
other girls, the Joy Taylor's, the Carrie Champions, the Jamail Hills,
all of the girls. Especially you know me because I
am not a sports but I am not a sports reporter.
I can get a concept of a story in sports
as it relates to culture and entertainment. But y'all be

(01:08):
hearing me when I get through, you know what I mean.
I do my sports stories on the Breakfast Club here
on the podcast, I try and sick to what I'm
good at, but sometimes the world's intertwined, so I dibble
and I dabble. But those girls are so good. They
know the facts, the numbers. They're hard at work, they're
at the games, they're traveling or doing all the things.
But what I love so much about what just happened
with Taylor Rooks and the fact that she is married.

(01:30):
She announced yesterday via her Instagram that she is married.
I didn't even know she was engaged. I assumed she
was dating. She's gorgeous, she's successful, she's young, you know
what I mean. So of course I assume she was dating.
But because we had never seen anything or heard anything
about who she was dating, I did not know she

(01:53):
was dating serious enough to be engaged and now married.
So yesterday Taylor Rooks took to her Instagram to post
photos from her wedding. I would say it was a
surprise wedding, but baby, it's given. Well, only we were surprised.
So many other people knew, so she posted the photos
and she captioned it, what a night This is love

(02:15):
with the wedding ring emoji. Now in these photos you
see her and her new hubby under her veil. Then
there's photos of her by herself walking down the aisle.
There's photos of Taylor Rook's and new hubby. She's holding
up her wedding ring. A diamond okay, it's a diamond. Okay.
The girl the rocket sitting nice, but she has her
hand on her hubby's face looks like it's like a

(02:37):
photo booth picture from after the wedding, from the reception,
and then there's photos of her and just like the
people who attend it. And I think that's what's most
impressive is the fact that not only was it private
and very intimate, and you know, when you're in the
public eye, you don't get to not share moments like
these much because sometimes even if you're trying to keep

(02:58):
it private, the people around you are so excited for
you that they want to tell the world. And in boom,
here you go. Everybody knows you engage, you married, you
got a man, You gotta this, you gotta that right.
The guest list was five star, and she still managed
to be able to keep this wedding private. In attendance,
there are photos of Mike Rubin, you know, music artist

(03:19):
Jacques Harlow, Coco Jones, and her newly engaged fiance Donovan Mitchell,
who's NFL player, Saquon Barkley, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green. The
people were in the building. Reports say that Taylor Rooks
was married in New York, but I mean, I don't
even know how we were confirming these reports because she

(03:40):
didn't mention where she was married. So it's like, how
do we even know that? We don't know anything? And
it is so fire, Oh my god, congratulations and Taylor
Rooks and her husband. There are little to no details
known about her husband besides the photos that she posted,
which I think are also dope. But yeah, it was.
It was just so fly. I'm gonna the girls that

(04:01):
I love to see, the career girls, especially at a
young age, have all of the things, do the family thing,
have kids, have a husband, be happy in the marriage
and actually having it last, but also be able to
also be able to, like you know, adamantly go after
your career and your goals and establish a life for yourself,

(04:23):
you know. And there's nothing wrong with this, right Like,
there are women who you know, their lives and their
careers and their names revolve around the men in their lives,
their husbands, their kids, fathers. I'm not knocking nobody, But
what I'm saying is is that my personal preference has
always been for myself to be like, Look, I'm going
to be in love, I'm going to be married, I'm

(04:44):
going to have children. I'm going to have the big wedding,
the faerytale wedding. You know. I want that for myself.
And you know, I want my mother and my grandmother
and my niece and you know, the people I love
to be able to see me be loved correctly. But
I've always been wor like, Okay, at some point in
my career there's going to be a conversation about you're

(05:05):
a woman, so what about family? What about marriage? What
about this? What about that? And I don't want my
career and the work that I've worked for to be
tied to my relationship or my husband, not even not
tied too. I don't mind that because me and my
man so equally yoked. That's what it's always going to
be given right, but more so, I don't want that

(05:25):
to overshadow my work. Every single day I'm working like
harder to get better at what I do and what
I do and even what Taylor Rooks does, or you know,
Jamel Hill, and you know, all of the women shoot
shout out the stat baby on Kim and Mason's It
Is What It Is. Me and her we've never met
in person, We've tried to link up, but me and
her have you know, become social media friends and watching

(05:48):
her navigate her journey over you know, on It Is
What It Is, while I'm here on Breakfast Club and
you know what you guys on the latest with Lauren
the roads of the podcast has been a journey, and
we both always you know, say to each other that
everything's just moving so crazy. So to see the girls
have it all and be able to establish it all,
but not have everything centered around or the conversation centered

(06:09):
around your relationship status or what's happening in your womb,
but more about the hard work that you're putting in,
the points you're putting on the board, the great interviews
you're doing, the great content you're putting out, the efficiency
of all those things that matters to me. I can't
speak for any of the other women that I just mentioned,
but that matters a lot to me, a whole lot.

(06:31):
So I thought the way that Taylor Rooks went about
this was superfly number one superfly, and I just thought
it was dope. I thought it was fired or see her,
you know, walk down the aisle and celebrate and do
all these things. And we had no idea it was happening.
And it wasn't nothing little about this wedding. Baby, this
was big Tailor Rooks, big wedding. Okay, guests, LIS's crazy

(06:53):
set up. All the wedding looked amazing. It looked literally
like a fair tale wedding. She looked beautiful as well.
So congratulations, this sist. We see you girl. You did that?
You ate that? Yes? Okay? Putting it on the Pinterest board.
Not in other news today, we having a conversation about
women in sports. Look at me trying to be you know,
all in the women in sports conversation. Clarissa Shields will

(07:15):
be fighting this weekend in Detroit. She's fighting Lonnie Daniels
and Clarissa Shields is she's been. I met her at
the Breakfast Club when she came and we interviewed her
my first time. I'm only interviewer, was my first time
interviewing her, was not her first time here. But then
she also came back to the Breakfast Club again, which
I wasn't in the interview for, but she talked about

(07:37):
wanting to be a mom in both of those interviews
and what that looked like. You know, we're having a
conversation about women with very demanding and big careers being
able to go on and do all of the things right.
I definitely think of Clarissa because I've been watching her
journey since meeting her here on the Breakfast Club when
she was promoting her movie The Fire Inside that came

(07:58):
out on Christmas of twenty twenty four, which starts Ryan
Destiny and it's the story of Clarisa Shield's life. One
of the things I was thinking about when I was
talking to her was just her sport is so physical,
and being able to have a kid and establish a
family and all those things also requires a lot of
your physical as well, So I've always wondered what that

(08:18):
exerience was gonna be like for her. Like, for instance,
Clarisa Shields was on the Pivot which is you know
the show with Ryan Clark all the guys, and she
talks about not even being able to have sex before
the fight because of the way that an orgasm affects
a woman versus a band. Let's take a listen. When
it comes to sex, right, men and women look at it. Different.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Women have something called orgasms, and when women have that,
it takes a lot out of you.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm training two or three times a day.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I don't got time to be trying to force myself
to work out because I had a you know, orgasmy
I would rather keep everything in And I feel like,
to me, I feel like it helps me be more
prepared for the fight. And when you go without you know, sex,
and I mean you guys are men, it do make
you be a bit more aggressive and you can lift
more weights and you can squat more weight and everything.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's the same thing for me.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's a lesson to you young boys out there, women too.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
And then hear her talk about this, my first thought
is is like, how long does cloversas shields have to
go without sex? Because she's never specified she said just
before a fight, and I'm like, well, how long? And
how does that work? When you're trying to have a kid,
miss of your career fights coming up, like it's just
a lot to balance. I feel for anybody who things

(09:33):
are growing, you have a lot to balance because y'all
know we started this podcast and missed of so much
growing and moving. For me, the Latest with Lorna Rosa
has been not just a podcast and entertainment news and
training topics, but you guys have grown with me through
a journey of all of the things since meeting me
on the Breakfast Club, all of my low riders here.
So my soft spot for women in the Spotlight who

(09:54):
are figuring all this stuff out is like no other
because I'm new here. Spotlight is to I know, nowhere
near Clarissa and her like you know what I mean,
Like so I can't imagine, is what I'm saying. And
I think a lot of people right now, unfairly are
having a conversation about distraction with Clarissa. I think a
lot of people right now are having a conversation about

(10:16):
women in any industry and across industries and what they're
able to do and what they're able to balance and
what they're able to not balance. And this episode, you know,
when I was putting it together, and I was thinking
about what we could do, you know, an extensions to
everything that was trending today. The first thing I thought
about is men. The girls is having it all. Okay,
they got their men by their side, they got the
business deals popping. Clarissa is dropping music and she previewed

(10:39):
it last night in Detroit. Let's take a listen to
is really short, but we got a snippet of one
of her songs. Okay, what's up?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Some people say I'm a killer?

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh dad, how fit the shots to the lift? Ooh?
Her man want to take me in? And then I
call him? What's the name? And baby? The girls is
coming for all of it, all of it. So with
this being said, I want to take y'all to the
streets outside. We outside, we outside. Ode every other page

(11:15):
because another thing that went down yesterday in the midst
of the conversation of the girls having it all, people
were so sad that Taylor Rooks popped out Mary like,
I know the men be on the girls with the
things going on, but by b where they said? Somebody

(11:35):
said El Brothers. Media on X said, not only did
Klay Thompson pull Magde Stallion but a light skin and
word with waves just married Taylor Rooks. We up, it's
our time. Baby. Twenty twenty five is the year of
the Paige Brotherhood. Laugh out loud. The light skins is outside,
That's what it's giving. A Corosiate kid said, we lost

(11:55):
Coco Jones, Meg and Taylor Rooks all in a two
month spin with a sad face emoji. Shout out to
Kevkoke six on X. Let's send him some love, y'all.
He tweeted, and he said, I just opened up IG
and saw Taylor Rooks got married. Please respect my privacy
at this time because these were the baths, these were

(12:16):
the bays of the sports industry. Corusa Shields gets it.
Taylor Rooks gets it. I understand, But I think that's
crazy too. I wrote this line down when I was
prepping for this episode. I really think it's crazy how
big the conversation gets around women who choose to have
it all this. Serena Williams went through this too when
she decided to have her baby, her daughter, her first

(12:39):
daughter with her husband Alexis and Venus. Williams announced her
engagement at the same time that SYS made history at
forty five years old, Venus Williams became the second oldest
woman to win a tour level match, according to ESPN.
She took this from a woman who was the oldest
woman at the time in two thousand and four, she

(13:00):
was aged forty seven who won Wimbledon. I say that
to say, guess what headline lasted longer out of the too.
Venus Williams announces she is engaged people being so surprised
to see women have all of the things. When you're
successful in your career is loud naomio osaka. People give
it to her really, really hard whenever she doesn't win

(13:20):
or doesn't perform at two hundred percent. I've even seen
people openly say, you know, online, she shouldn't have had
a kid at the height of her career. When the
girls do finally get to have all the things, the
way that we have conversations about them, it's so different
than how we have it about men, completely different. And
I get it. Babies don't come out of men's bodies.

(13:40):
I get it. You know, women and men have different
roles in marriages, and how do you know the marriages
change what they're able to do outside of the home,
and you know just I understand the double standards, but
I do feel like this is the era of the
women being able to stand next to a partner who
understands our power. I was going to say, take back
our power, but it's not even that standing next to
the right person who understands your power so that you

(14:03):
can have all things because the balance that you're gonna
need to learn both mentally and physically, that partner sitting
next to you, baby, ithing, it ain't nothing but a thing.
So shout out to all the ladies. For some reason,
we focus mostly on women in sports today, not even
on purpose, but yes, shout out to the ladies having

(14:23):
all of the things. At the end of the day,
there's always a lot to talk about, and I appreciate
you guys being right here with me every episode to
talk about it. My lowriders. I will see you guys
in my next episode.
