Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Loni Love. Her memoir, I Tried to Change So You Don't Have To. The conversation explores her journey from growing up in Detroit's Brewster Projects to becoming an Emmy Award-winning entertainer. Through humor, honesty, and reflection, Love shares lessons about perseverance, identity, self-acceptance, mentorship, and overcoming adversity. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: • Promote Loni Love's memoir and the personal stories behind it. • Share her life journey from public housing in Detroit to success in entertainment. • Inspire people facing obstacles, self-doubt, or major life transitions. • Highlight the importance of telling authentic Black stories and experiences. • Encourage listeners to embrace who they are rather than trying to become someone else. Key Takeaways 1. Everyone Has a Story Worth Sharing Love explains that many people know her from television, but few understand the struggles, setbacks, and experiences that shaped her success. Quote: "I just wanted the people to understand my journey." She describes the memoir as an honest and personal account of how she became the person she is today. 2. Community Can Change Your Life A recurring theme throughout the interview is the importance of having a support system. Love credits many people with helping her along the way, including her mother, church members, teachers, mentors, and sorority sisters. She emphasizes that no one succeeds completely alone. Quote: "When they say a village, it takes a village to raise a child, it really, really does." 3. Black Women Were Central to Her Development Love speaks openly about the women who helped raise, guide, mentor, and support her throughout her life. From babysitters and church leaders to her Delta Sigma Theta sorority sisters, these women helped build her confidence, faith, and resilience. 4. Adversity Can Become a Source of Strength One of the most memorable stories discussed is a chapter about her wrongful arrest in college. Love shares how the experience opened her eyes to realities she had never encountered before and ultimately helped shape her perspective on race, justice, and personal strength. 5. Success Often Requires Reinvention Rushion repeatedly highlights Love's ability to recognize opportunities and pivot throughout her life. She successfully transitioned from engineering to manufacturing, then from corporate America to comedy, acting, and television. Quote: "This book is about pivoting too." 6. Self-Acceptance Is Essential Another major lesson from the memoir is learning to stop changing yourself to meet other people's expectations. Love discusses struggles with body image, confidence, relationships, and career choices before learning that authenticity brings more fulfillment than trying to fit someone else's definition of success. 7. Humor Can Help You Survive Anything Although the memoir addresses painful and difficult experiences, Love intentionally balances those stories with comedy. At the end of every chapter, she includes jokes to remind readers that even difficult situations can contain moments of laughter. Quote: "I want people to know that after every chapter, there's levity." 8. Document Your Life Love encourages listeners to keep journals and document their experiences. She reveals that maintaining diaries over the years helped her write the…

[0:27] Speaker 2: Of success for you and maybe the.

[0:52] Speaker 1: The Real, comedian, entrepreneur, and actress. She's on the show

[0:59] Speaker 1: to Change So You Don't Have To. Please welcome to
[1:01] Speaker 1: Money Making Conversation, Lonnie Love.
[1:04] Speaker 3: Hey, what's up? Thank you for the time.
[1:07] Speaker 1: Lonnie, I'm going to tell you something. Let me just
[1:09] Speaker 1: read what I took from the book because I want
[1:11] Speaker 1: to set the stage before we start talking about this
[1:13] Speaker 1: very funny book and it Very funny book, memoir. And
[1:16] Speaker 1: reading this book just came from you. And reading this book,
[1:19] Speaker 1: you should remember that I am a comedian. I am
[1:22] Speaker 1: also a television host and an actress and electrical engineer.
[1:25] Speaker 1: This is my memoir and tells you about my life.
[1:28] Speaker 1: But it's a tale told from a comedian perspective, a
[1:31] Speaker 1: comic perspective. And I believe that this entitles me to
[1:34] Speaker 1: a good number of liberties. I reordered and combined events
[1:38] Speaker 1: and people. I changed a whole lot of names and
[1:41] Speaker 1: identified details. And I've exaggerated and made some things up altogether.
[1:45] Speaker 3: I hope.
[1:46] Speaker 1: Make you smile or even laugh. But I have not
[1:48] Speaker 1: changed the reality of my life, where I came from.
[1:52] Speaker 1: And how I've got here today, ladies and gentlemen, Lonnie Lowe.
[1:56] Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
[1:59] Speaker 3: No, that's called when the attorney talks to you. Absolutely.
[2:02] Speaker 3: I'm saying, can you write something?
[2:03] Speaker 1: Absolutely. Lonnie, you know, you've been on the show before,
[2:08] Speaker 1: and I'm a big fan of yours. And, you know,
[2:10] Speaker 1: it always, you know, like... I always call you or
[2:14] Speaker 1: text you just to let you know I love you
[2:16] Speaker 1: and you're just a gifted young lady and never be
[2:20] Speaker 1: down on yourself. And I read this book. It's a
[2:21] Speaker 1: journey from Detroit to Houston, Texas, to El Segundo, to
[2:26] Speaker 1: Los Angeles, I guess. It all started in Detroit. Tell
[2:32] Speaker 1: us about that start. And then I want to break
[2:35] Speaker 1: down some of my favorite chapters, like Chapter 8, when
[2:37] Speaker 1: you were thrown in jail. That has to be the
[2:40] Speaker 1: funniest thing. The funniest chapter. I read a lot of
[2:45] Speaker 1: books now. I'm just telling you, I'm talking to Lonnie
[2:48] Speaker 1: Love now. This is her book now. This is her memoir.
[2:50] Speaker 1: I tried to change so you don't have to. I'm
[2:53] Speaker 1: telling you.
[2:55] Speaker 3: I just think everybody should tell their journey and especially
[2:59] Speaker 3: people of color. people don't understand how hard it is
[3:03] Speaker 3: for us to make it. That's why I want everybody
[3:05] Speaker 3: to share their story. And so this is my story.
[3:08] Speaker 3: I grew up in Detroit in the Brewster Project, and
[3:10] Speaker 3: it just takes you through that whole life thing. Because
[3:14] Speaker 3: some people only know me from The Real or from
[3:16] Speaker 3: Chelsea Lately or the shows that Rashawn will put me on.
[3:21] Speaker 3: Thank you. But it's a whole journey. And I just
[3:27] Speaker 3: wanted the people to understand my journey and why I
[3:31] Speaker 3: appreciate where I am, why I'm vulnerable at times, why
[3:34] Speaker 3: I'm sensitive at times, why I'm strong at times. Because
[3:38] Speaker 3: the fact is that it hasn't been an easy road.
[3:41] Speaker 3: And I also wanted to inspire and give people some hope.
[3:45] Speaker 3: So that's what you're reading. And it's just a love
[3:47] Speaker 3: letter to my fans. That's what it is.
[3:50] Speaker 1: It's an honest letter. And the thing about it is
[3:52] Speaker 1: that I've read a lot of memoirs during the show
[3:54] Speaker 1: Money Making Conversations. But I love George because it was
[3:57] Speaker 1: just funny, but it was also truthful. It was also painful.
[4:02] Speaker 1: It was also, I was like, you know, I had
[4:04] Speaker 1: a reason to cry. I had a reason to feel
[4:06] Speaker 1: sorry for you. I had a reason to root for you.
[4:08] Speaker 1: I had a reason to call you a fool. You know, girl,
[4:11] Speaker 1: that's stupid. Why you do that? But one of the
[4:14] Speaker 1: things that came out that stood out for me was like,
[4:17] Speaker 1: you know, it was a point in your life where
[4:18] Speaker 1: you were surrounded by blackness. That's what I call in
[4:22] Speaker 1: your book. You mentioned it yourself. Surrounded by blackness protected you.
[4:26] Speaker 1: the HBCU experience at Prairie View A & M, the
[4:29] Speaker 1: black sisters of your sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, you experienced
[4:34] Speaker 1: that HBCU experience and being surrounded by the sisterhood who
[4:38] Speaker 1: bailed you out of jail, Delta Sigma Theta. Uh-huh, yes, yes.
[4:42] Speaker 3: Thank you to my sorority. They had, you know, they
[4:46] Speaker 3: had them credit cards. They were able to do that.
[4:48] Speaker 3: And they, you know, and I had to lean way
[4:51] Speaker 3: on the shield that night.
[4:52] Speaker 1: I almost fell off leaning on the shield.
[4:55] Speaker 3: You know, that hard. But it's just, it's a wonderful
[4:59] Speaker 3: story of how, you know, at 19 years old, even
[5:03] Speaker 3: though I was growing up in a project, I knew
[5:05] Speaker 3: nothing about it. the police because my mom always protected
[5:08] Speaker 3: me from that. You know, the police never came into
[5:11] Speaker 3: projects unless, you know, somebody got shot. So I didn't
[5:15] Speaker 3: have this experience until I was in college. And I
[5:18] Speaker 3: didn't realize, you know, I didn't have to talk. I
[5:20] Speaker 3: didn't know nothing about, you know, racist cops. And, you know,
[5:25] Speaker 3: I've never experienced that. So when I experienced it, and
[5:28] Speaker 3: the story is so interesting, it goes through the whole
[5:32] Speaker 3: process of being arrested, you know, going to the booking
[5:35] Speaker 3: center because I was, it was a felony for trespassing,
[5:39] Speaker 3: walking in a kitchen. I was put in a, you know,
[5:42] Speaker 3: in a cell with, you know, murderers and felons and
[5:46] Speaker 3: stuff like that at 19 years old with no experience.
[5:49] Speaker 1: You know, a reason I like the book is that
[5:52] Speaker 1: I kind of understand you a lot more, you know,
[5:54] Speaker 1: because you really outspoken and you, first of all, you're
[5:57] Speaker 1: coming from, you know, when you talk about prison or
[5:59] Speaker 1: jail or, wrongfully incarcerated or talk about being called out
[6:04] Speaker 1: by your name, racial statements thrown your way. And the
[6:08] Speaker 1: thing about it in your book is the church plays
[6:12] Speaker 1: a role, Ms. Eva, Jehovah Witness. You know how she
[6:16] Speaker 1: built those. Just talk about some of the ladies besides
[6:18] Speaker 1: your mom who played an important defining role in your personality,
[6:22] Speaker 1: how you looked at life, how you looked at love,
[6:24] Speaker 1: how you looked at relationships and all that stuff. Talk
[6:26] Speaker 1: about the other women that were important in your life
[6:28] Speaker 1: in this book.
[6:29] Speaker 3: Well, the love that I developed for black women came
[6:32] Speaker 3: from my foundation. You know, I had a babysitter. Her
[6:35] Speaker 3: name was Miss Brooks. She was Jehovah's Witness. who I
[6:38] Speaker 3: spent a lot of my time with. That's where I
[6:40] Speaker 3: got my religious backing from. I had Miss Eva.
[6:45] Speaker 1: Ice cream Eva.
[6:47] Speaker 3: Yeah, she was a Bible study lady. You know, I
[6:50] Speaker 3: had my Girl Scout troop leader. And these are women
[6:55] Speaker 3: that impacted me so much that they cared for me
[6:58] Speaker 3: and they took care of me. And this was the foundation.
[7:02] Speaker 3: And I think that it's important when they say a village,
[7:04] Speaker 3: it takes a village to raise a child. It really,
[7:07] Speaker 3: really does. But then also my relationship, you know, with
[7:13] Speaker 3: men in general was was actually defined in that era
[7:17] Speaker 3: as well. And, you know, the caring of black brothers
[7:22] Speaker 3: and sisters was. you know, was also defined from that.
[7:25] Speaker 3: So it's like when I meet people like the fabulous
[7:28] Speaker 3: Rashawn McDonald, we're able to connect because we down home people,
[7:34] Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And so that's, so all
[7:36] Speaker 3: of this, you can, you know, read about it in
[7:38] Speaker 3: the book and you can really see and feel the foundation.
[7:42] Speaker 3: But I mean, the thing if anybody I want them
[7:45] Speaker 3: to take away from is that if you feel hopeless,
[7:49] Speaker 3: If you need some inspiration, understand that you are from
[7:54] Speaker 3: a strong stock of people. And we constantly prove it
[7:57] Speaker 3: all the time. And I'm just waiting on your book, Rashad.
[8:02] Speaker 4: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
[8:05] Speaker 4: Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money-Making Conversations
[8:14] Speaker 4: Masterclass hosted by Rashawn McDonald. Money-Making Conversations Masterclass continues online
[8:20] Speaker 4: at MoneyMakingConversations.com and follow Money-Making Conversations Masterclass on Facebook, Twitter,
[8:26] Speaker 4: and Instagram.
[8:28] Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
[8:28] Speaker 1: Well, it's coming, but I'm going to tell you something.
[8:30] Speaker 1: This book, I'm telling you, Barnes & Noble, you can
[8:32] Speaker 1: get online right now. The book is on sale right now.
[8:35] Speaker 1: Please go out and buy it. And the thing that,
[8:37] Speaker 1: because there's some relatable things to.
[8:39] Speaker 4: Me in there.
[8:40] Speaker 1: I'm a male, but it's very relatable because this book
[8:42] Speaker 1: is about motivation. It's about inspiring. It's overcoming the odds.
[8:46] Speaker 1: And one of the things was when she came out
[8:47] Speaker 1: of high school, you know, bright, call a nerd. My
[8:50] Speaker 1: degree was in mathematics. So, and her skill was mathematics.
[8:53] Speaker 1: She got a degree in electrical engineering. And she just
[8:56] Speaker 1: went to work for, you know, was it GM? General Motors.
[9:02] Speaker 1: Went on the line, just putting carpet, gluing carpet down.
[9:06] Speaker 1: When I graduated from high school, I became a forklift driver.
[9:09] Speaker 1: I thought that was my level. I thought that it
[9:12] Speaker 1: had a nice hourly check tied to it. I thought
[9:15] Speaker 1: that was my level. But somebody saw more, more in me,
[9:19] Speaker 1: more in me than I saw in myself. And that's
[9:23] Speaker 1: really where mentoring comes in. That's why it's important. I
[9:26] Speaker 1: see the role that you play out there. I see
[9:29] Speaker 1: registering people to vote. I've seen how you realize that, look,
[9:32] Speaker 1: in your book, it talks about accepting who you are.
[9:37] Speaker 1: When you're trying to lose all that weight, trying to
[9:39] Speaker 1: be something that you're not. And that's really, and I
[9:42] Speaker 1: want to let people know that this book is so
[9:45] Speaker 1: relatable because it talks about issues and trusting yourself and
[9:50] Speaker 1: not listening to other people who say you should be
[9:52] Speaker 1: doing this. trust you it's it's really an amazing story
[9:57] Speaker 1: very funny but very but very telling as to what
[10:01] Speaker 1: we need to read today to be motivated to be
[10:04] Speaker 1: successful great job on this book Lonnie great great job.
[10:07] Speaker 3: I appreciate it I I appreciate everybody that's that's discovering
[10:12] Speaker 3: it and reading about it it's great reviews Amazon has
[10:15] Speaker 3: been number one and Memoirs is number one in comedy
[10:19] Speaker 3: for new releases. So, and again, I can't wait to
[10:23] Speaker 3: get your book, but we are just parallel. You know,
[10:26] Speaker 3: when it comes to being like that manual and how
[10:29] Speaker 3: somebody came and helped us. It's a great story. And
[10:33] Speaker 3: I'm just thankful that I'm able to live to still
[10:35] Speaker 3: tell it.
[10:36] Speaker 1: And then we did something else. We were musically inclined
[10:41] Speaker 1: and we love classic music. See, I was a B-flat clarinet.
[10:44] Speaker 1: That was me. So you couldn't handle that. You went
[10:46] Speaker 1: over to the French horn. And I'm going to tell
[10:48] Speaker 1: you something. I'm going to tell anybody this about a
[10:50] Speaker 1: French horn. That is the most difficult instrument to play.
[10:54] Speaker 1: Because if you don't put your hands in there right
[10:56] Speaker 1: and move it right, now the sounds, you can just
[10:59] Speaker 1: keep blowing on that thing forever. So for you to
[11:03] Speaker 1: walk past a B-flat clarinet and go over to a
[11:06] Speaker 1: French horn, girl, hands down, you a bad sister, okay?
[11:13] Speaker 3: And you could also use it as a weapon.
[11:18] Speaker 1: It's just beautiful. It's just beautiful with the journey as
[11:21] Speaker 1: we go through this book. You know, let me just
[11:24] Speaker 1: tell everybody about the book and the sense of how
[11:26] Speaker 1: it breaks down. It talks about the early years and
[11:28] Speaker 1: the projects. And then that's part of her life. That's important.
[11:32] Speaker 1: That first 18 years. Then it talks specifically about her
[11:37] Speaker 1: college life, her friends, how she got to college, how
[11:41] Speaker 1: that played an important role. And each one of those
[11:44] Speaker 1: layers is defining for her because, you know, she didn't
[11:47] Speaker 1: want to leave home when she was asked to leave home.
[11:49] Speaker 1: And then she wasn't really ready to go to college,
[11:52] Speaker 1: but she saw an opportunity to go. She went. She
[11:55] Speaker 1: learned how to pivot. This book is about pivoting, too,
[11:58] Speaker 1: because in this book, Lonnie is a great pivoter. She
[12:02] Speaker 1: see an opportunity, she going and is going to give
[12:04] Speaker 1: 100 percent. A lot of people pivot and they kind
[12:07] Speaker 1: of ease over that line. You don't do that, do you?
[12:12] Speaker 3: I really like telling the story, telling the truth, but
[12:18] Speaker 3: bringing levity. At the end of every chapter is a
[12:21] Speaker 3: list of jokes. Yes. Because some stories in the book
[12:25] Speaker 3: are dark. Some stories are sad. Some stories are really happy.
[12:28] Speaker 3: But I want people to know that after every chapter,
[12:31] Speaker 3: there's levity.
[12:32] Speaker 4: Yes.
[12:33] Speaker 3: And I think that's important because it shapes your frame
[12:37] Speaker 3: of mind differently. So to know that you can get
[12:40] Speaker 3: out of anything, even though it seems impossible, you can
[12:44] Speaker 3: get out of anything. And this is a story for men, women, young, old.
[12:49] Speaker 3: If you're at a point in your life where you're
[12:51] Speaker 3: trying to reach and you kind of like need some motivation,
[12:54] Speaker 3: you read this book. You know, I mean, if you're
[12:56] Speaker 3: trying to find love, you know, I talk about that.
[12:59] Speaker 4: Oh, yes, you do.
[13:01] Speaker 3: Where you need to, you know, you get in situations where,
[13:04] Speaker 3: you know, things ain't working out or, you know, that's
[13:08] Speaker 3: the part where really, Rashawn, I have to say, the
[13:11] Speaker 3: chapter in Real Talk is where I really leaned on
[13:14] Speaker 3: Rashawn to give me advice. and it really helped me
[13:18] Speaker 3: to get through the situation I was in my TV show. And,
[13:21] Speaker 3: you know, understanding the studio system, all of that is
[13:25] Speaker 3: explained because, you know, it's real easy for people to
[13:28] Speaker 3: see the front side of certain things, of television shows
[13:32] Speaker 3: and things. They don't understand the behind the scenes. Even
[13:36] Speaker 3: way back, my first movie, even though, you know, a
[13:39] Speaker 3: lot of people don't know that my first movie was
[13:42] Speaker 3: Soul Plane.
[13:43] Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
[13:43] Speaker 3: And that's when we all thought, It was going to
[13:46] Speaker 3: make us all a star. Kevin Hart, Monique, all of them.
[13:48] Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg.
[13:50] Speaker 3: D.L.
[13:50] Speaker 1: Hughley.
[13:51] Speaker 3: You know, it tells the whole story is explained, but
[13:55] Speaker 3: it's all, and I have so many more stories, but,
[13:59] Speaker 3: you know, because I keep a diary and I tell anybody,
[14:02] Speaker 3: you know, right now we're living in historic times. Yes,
[14:04] Speaker 3: we are. Keep a diary or a journal, you know,
[14:07] Speaker 3: so that you can look back in five years and
[14:09] Speaker 3: see where you come from and what you were dealing with.
[14:12] Speaker 3: So these are like just a few stories that I
[14:14] Speaker 3: put together and, And it kind of tells the stories,
[14:17] Speaker 3: the beginning story. And it's just something that I'm just
[14:21] Speaker 3: amazed that people, and I'm grateful that people see it
[14:25] Speaker 3: and now they have a better understanding. But more importantly,
[14:29] Speaker 3: Black people are different. We're not all the same.
[14:31] Speaker 1: We're not.
[14:32] Speaker 3: But, you know, that's why it's important to push our
[14:36] Speaker 3: stories and get our stories out so that they know
[14:38] Speaker 3: that we're real living and breathing people so that they
[14:41] Speaker 3: will stop killing us. so that they understand that, wow,
[14:45] Speaker 3: these people, you know, because they think that they can't
[14:47] Speaker 3: relate to us. But the whole point is we're living
[14:50] Speaker 3: and breathing people, and we have to share our stories
[14:53] Speaker 3: to show them the experiences that we've come through. And
[14:56] Speaker 3: that's what we're doing.
[14:58] Speaker 2: Wow.
[14:58] Speaker 1: I'm talking to an Emmy Award winning, she talks about
[15:01] Speaker 1: that in the book, two-time NAACP Image Award winning, co-host
