Actress Lauren London’s powerful testimony of acceptance and surrender in the face of seemingly unbearable pain resonated with her vast fan base.
The ATL and Games People Play actress’ storybook romance with rapper and business owner Nipsey Hussle ended abruptly and tragically when he was struck down in front of The Marathon Clothing store he owned in South Los Angeles in February 2019.
London began trending when her inteview with Jay Shetty’s “On Point” podcast hit the airwaves on Monday, Feb. 28, 2022, where she expounds on what it means to “surrender.”
“It is the ultimate test of surrender. Because at the end if the day as much control we think we have, we do not,” London said. “So I might as well focus on my enlightenment when things don’t go as planned, we have to surrender and flow with the river, not fight with the rocks.”

Fans who already fawned over the beautiful thespian were riveted by her testimony and invaluable piece of advice about navigating life’s unpredictability and obstacles.
I feel like Lauren London has a deep story besides the passing of nip (which was tragic within itself) but I feel like there’s a lot of depth to her.
