Summary
Loren LoRosa hits the red carpet in New York City for the Is God Is premiere, bringing you inside one of the most powerful films of the year. From exclusive interviews with Tessa Thompson, Alicia Harris, and the cast, to deep conversations about generational trauma, anger, family, and healing—this episode goes beyond the surface.
The film dives into what it really costs to carry pain, the pressure on Black women to “hold it all together,” and the courage it takes to break cycles and choose yourself. Loren unpacks the emotional weight behind the story, while the cast shares personal reflections on boundaries, spirituality, and reclaiming your narrative.
This isn’t just a movie—it’s a conversation starter. Tap in and get ready to reflect, feel, and maybe even heal.
