officially occupy the bricks and mortar locale of her successful podcast, "LaRueList Cafe, Let's Talk About it."

"This concept actually started pre-COVID when my late partner said to me that we should refine 'The LaRueList Report,' which was a weekly report we put out every Friday by noon," LaRue told InsiderNJ. "I had 20k contacts in my phone and my partner said we should take this to a different level." COVID interfered with the envisioned rollout of the cafe at the downtown Trenton Starbucks, and LaRue subsequently adjusted to a virtual presence.

Now, she's fulfilling a dream and going back to the original concept - same show, with an actual locale and dedicated metro-Trenton community footprint. At the official studio tour this evening at the Social Profit Center, 1 N. Johnston Avenue in Hamilton, LaRue will welcome Lieutenant Governor Tahesha Way, along with other elected officials, community leaders, educators, students, and supporters.

Way is scheduled to speak at 5:45 p.m. in the refurbished mill, where local students will receive stipends to help produce the podcast, videoed live on posted on social media. More details about future shows, guests, and a set schedule in the days ahead.
