The Blavity CEO on Leaving LA, Losing the Mask & Choosing Herself

Loren Lorosa sits down with Morgan DeBaun — founder and CEO of Blavity Inc. and Afrotech — for a real conversation about building a business as a Black woman without losing yourself in the process. Morgan opens up about ditching the "pattern matching" she learned raising venture capital in Silicon Valley, why she left LA for Nashville to protect her peace, and her "control alt delete" moment that changed everything. They talk mental models for entrepreneurship, giving yourself permission to opt out, and why choosing yourself isn't selfish — it's strategy. Plus, Loren gives you the scoop on her new iHeart series, Love Lately with Loren Lorosa, launching this weekend live from the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas.
