la la ANTHONY IS UNSTOPPABLE MADE BY ASHLEY WHITE La La Anthony’s career has blossomed in a way that’s truly incredible to watch. After making the decision to take acting seriously, the New York native put in the work necessary and it shows. From Think Like A Man to Power, La La has proven there’s nothing she can’t do and she’s just getting started. As her acting career is taking off, La La has a makeup line, production company and has launched her second clothing line with Lord & Taylor, The La La Anthony Collection. “I love clothing and I would always have women ask me about my clothes and how to dress or where did I get my jeans from. I just saw a void in the marketplace for amazing jeans for women of all sizes. I partnered up with Lord & Taylor and what’s been great about the partnership is that we go from size 0 to 24, which I’m super proud of.” Additionally, she’s a 2x New York Times Best-selling author with her first book, The Love Playbook in the works of becoming a movie in a partnership with Queen Latifah. While she has a lot on her plate, her most important job is being a mother to her 11-year- old son, Kiyan. “He comes first and then it’s my job so it’s about managing my time with his schedule and making sure I’m there for all his stuff and just being a mom and also making sure I’m getting my work done as well.” MADE caught up with the multi-passionate entrepreneur to see how she does it all and her insight on creating a career you love… made-magazine.com | 44
