i love loni love.hs] she is funny, she is authentic, d at appciatabout helf and it is paying off big time. and that's kind of the theme of our show today, inspired by a conversation i had with my friend, billy porter. when he talked about how he got success later in life, it was after he'd really embraced his true self. now, for loni, she says, obviously, she went to hollywood, and she didn't look like a lot of people in hollywood. hair, clothing, all of those things didn't match the stereotype of hollywood. but she broke through, and loni has had tremendous success with it. d nner talk show host, radio, is a syndicated show, and she shares her journey in her new book, "i tried to change so you don't have to." loni love joins us from her home in los angeles, california. listen, you know i social media stalk you, i go on to find joy, a little information, and you give it to me. i love little richard, and he was on my list of people that i always wanted to just spend time with and interview. and you said
