I’m loving this already! 25 minutes in- I relate so much to Lori’s background. We are also the same age- shout out for the new 60🎉🎉 Great encouraging interview as usual.
You did it again Laterras. Very timely, as I so appreciate the various age levels of the guests. In particular, the 50 and over population. There are so many women in this demographic that are phenomenally situated on ALL levels seeking, hoping and praying for their purpose partner. Continue the great and specific work of building the kingdom of God. Your are so precious and passionate. Thank you for your obedience and I pray for the continued anointing for this most needed and unique ministry for our Black families. 🙌🏿☝🏿🙏🏿💜🖤💜
This was a refreshing show. I enjoyed hearing her story....congratulations on her new book!! Much needed about adult Adhd and Ocd. It was nice to see a mature woman featured on the show.
"Your strength doesn't become a liability to them "
That's word.
👏🏼 🙌🏼
Thank you everyone for the love! ❣ I had an amazing time with my Boo Thing/Homie Laterras! 🤣
I really loved this episode. What I love about your show Laterras is the amount of people I had never heard of, but searched out after watching. I didn't know Lori before, now I wanna read her book. Great conversation! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
I LOVE THIS EPISODE! I love her!!! She’s so funny, sharp, smart, and straightforward. She doesn’t have time to play! Laterra should definitely have more older women on the show.
This was a great show! I can absolutely see the difference in her since the show. She has truly done her work, and I pray her person finds her soon! ❤
Wow! Lori you are the best👌 When she says she has no time I can relate. I wasted my best years trying to work on a difficult relationship and now I am left with no time or energy to waste on small, ridiculous stuff 😂. Thank you Laterras for another great episode🙏🏾🙏🏾
I really was rooting for Lori on Later Daters, I binged watch it as well. I too, hope there is a season 2. It seems rough in these dating streets when you’re looking for someone of substance that’s right for you.
