Jason Weaver on The Chi, Brotherhood & Breaking Barriers May 28, 2026

Show notes

On this episode of The Latest with Loren LoRosa, Loren sits down with actor Jason Weaver for an unforgettable conversation about the final season of The Chi, growing up in Chicago, and the power of authentic Black storytelling.

Jason reflects on starting his entertainment career at just five years old, how his mother helped guide him through the industry, and why portraying “Shad” on The Chi has become one of the most meaningful roles of his career. From discussions about masculinity, healing, incarceration, and LGBTQ+ representation to the beauty and complexity of Chicago’s Black communities, this conversation goes far beyond television.

The two also dive into:

Why The Chi resonates so deeply with audiences
The responsibility of telling real stories about Black communities
How the show helped spark difficult but necessary conversations
Jason’s emotional fan encounters in Chicago
His bond with Luke James on and off screen
Why independent Black storytelling matters now more than ever

Still Standing: Jason Weaver on Resilience, ATL, and What's Next May 27, 2026

Show notes

Loren LoRosa sits down with actor and entertainer Jason Weaver — known for his roles in ATL and as the singing voice of young Simba in The Lion King — for a candid conversation that goes way beyond the highlight reel. They open up about the anxiety that comes with being a provider in uncertain times, why it's okay to feel uneasy even when things are going well, and how pressing forward through the doubt is what signals to the universe you're ready. Jason breaks down the real reason an ATL sequel hasn't happened yet, what it would take to make it a reality, and why Black creatives need ownership over their intellectual properties. Plus, he reveals his brand new late night talk show Leave It to Weaver, launching this summer with 85 South — and why he believes now is exactly the right time to bring that Arsenio Hall energy back. This one's for the culture.
