You have to make at least five baskets in 30 seconds.

And if you don't, you have to answer

Five in 30 seconds. Okay.

A juicy question. A juicy question. But if you make them, then you get to answer a question that about your life that we want to know anyway.

Okay. Okay.

There we go. I'll help you. I got you. You're set up to fail. No, you're set up to win, Lola. Because either way, we're going to know all about you by the end of the end of the video.

I don't know how I feel about this.

Okay. How confident are you in your shooting ability?

Super confident.

YouTube videos, everyone comments that you're always wide open and no passes you the ball, Lola. That was a fun video. Save yourself for that.

I'm open. So, do I have a rebounder?

Not you. Oh, you're the rebounder? I'll I'm the I'll I'm the timer and the rebounder. I got you.

How would you how do you feel like Complex reposted you, House of Highlights, right? Yeah. Like everybody. You basically changed the game. How do you feel about that? Like what what were you going through when it started blowing up?

Well, it started as just an idea because I had just started YouTube, so I was thinking things that I hadn't seen before. And I was like, thinking of going to the park with girls and like girls versus boys. It's been done a lot. But then I was like, it has never been done that five girls go and play pickup. Like it's a group of five, and like kill it. So, it's just an idea, and then we went, and then it actually went really well, and we killed it. And then as soon as we left, I knew that the video would turn out really well. Yeah. And then I made the TikTok, and then it exploded, which was amazing. And I love that it just forces people to watch women's basketball on a platform and other things.

Yeah. You did good. You got that. That was much better than the first one. Okay, you ready? Do you want a juicy one? No. Okay, we'll do juicy. We'll do juicy. I thought I made a lot, like. Call out one person you want to play one-on-one with.

Oh. LeBron.

Okay, make it better, Lola. We can't call out LeBron. Someone who's going to see this video. Someone that you'd also slide in their DMs. You be like, hey, let's play one-on-one. Who's single? Hit up Lola. Hit up Lola. That you guys can shoot your shot at home. There you go. Ask me any. Hit that great, Lola. Hit that great. How much do you think that social media has changed your life?

Almost my life. I guess, like, in May, I graduated from college. My career was going to be media production. I did editing, photography, videography, and then seven months, I'm doing something completely different. And it's amazing.

Is this a good question? Yeah. It must be. What what advice would you give to people that kind of like, you know, graduating college and they're kind of moving on to the next step of their life that maybe want to pursue social media or just like the transition? What advice would you give?

Honestly, I think as long as you're following your purpose, you're going to end up where you want to be. And I followed my purpose of media production, and that's what took me out here. And then it led me to this, which I also feel like furthers my purpose. I use my like skills in media production to put women's basketball on a platform and other things. So.

Your top three requirements when it comes to a partner.

Oh. Top three requirements.
