Lauren London continues to honor the legacy of the late Nipsey Hussle in a multitude of ways. When the actress isn’t busy promoting The Marathon Clothing, she’s executing his vision of helping people of color achieve financial freedom through entrepreneurship with the “Nipsey Hussle 100K pitch competition,” in partnership with Microsoft, Earn Your Leisure (EYL), and The Marathon Clothing.

One of Hussle’s many passions was seeing Black-owned businesses thrive through entrepreneurship. He was an advocate for financial literacy, understanding that communities could grow and thrive with a better understanding of investments, ownership, and more. Years after his passing, the rapper’s vision came to fruition at the 3rd annual Invest Fest Pitch Competition, where business owners competed for a 100k grant.

This initiative wouldn’t have been possible without London and Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, who continues to carry the torch of the beloved rapper’s legacy. In a collaborative post, Invest Fest and the “Earn Your Leisure” podcast co-host Troy Millings shared their appreciation for the hard work and dedication to fulfilling Hussle’s mission to encourage business ownership.

“Honored to witness the presence of Lauren London and Blacc Sam at Invest Fest, carrying forward Nipsey’s legacy of empowerment and community. The Marathon truly continues. #InvestFest #LegacyInAction ,” they wrote.

London spends less time in the spotlight since the untimely death of Hussle. Unless its to promote a project, or all things Nipsey Hussle, the seasoned actress keeps a low profile. In a viral clip from the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast, the 39-year-old mother of two explained why she doesn’t feel the need to be in another relationship.

In a vulnerable conversation, London explains the idea of love and possession. She dissects what it means to love and operate in your ego, which produces an attachment to someone and the fear of losing them. She shares that although she wasn’t able to put her ego aside while Hussle was here, she did experience a very pure love that she’s not interested in exploring again.

“I just don’t feel the need to participate in my ego, and someone else in theirs anymore. And I’ve experienced pure love. I am not without pure love. I might not ever be married,” she says. “I got to see that on earth. I don’t need to do that again.”
