As multi-layered and complex as Angela is on Power, there’s much more to Loren than meets the eye, or the screen for that matter. In an exclusive interview during  “How I Made It” podcast with Jasmine Browley, Loren candidly shares how she unintentionally stepped into her dream job and how she leaned on her faith to land the star role in the highly-rated hit television series.

Rooted in humble beginnings, Loren reveals some relatable truths about her unconventional career path as a working artist in Hollywood and gems of advice on navigating a creative life. 

“I had to divorce myself from the definition of what success is. I almost had to let go of this idea of “making it.” If your goal is to make it, I think that is setting you up for failure.” shared the seasoned actress.
