On this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren is recording straight from Miami before boarding the Fem It Forward cruise — and the vibes are high… until the conversation turns spicy.

After Cam Newton’s viral comments about women’s “value” decreasing with children, Loren dives deep into the double standards surrounding single mothers, dating, and how society measures a woman’s worth. Why are women “devalued” for bringing life into the world while men are celebrated for the same thing? And why does the conversation always seem to leave out the full picture?

Loren keeps it honest — unpacking dating with kids, the baggage conversation, unconditional love, and the emotional weight men quietly carry. She challenges the narrative, adds nuance, and reminds us that value isn’t something that disappears because life happens.
