She’s A Positive Role Model For Young Girls: Entrepreneuress Lala Anthony For Jet Magazine

Lala Anthony covers the latest issue of Jet magazine. In my opinion, she’s a positive role model for young girls. The married wife and mother is a media personality, actress, reality star, NYT bestselling author and an entrepreneuress. Her book, The Love Playbook: Rules for Love, Sex and Happiness made the New York Times bestselling list and her clothing line, 5th & Mercer is selling out.

The Brooklyn-native has a busy schedule ahead. The last season of her reality show, Lala’s Full Court Life premieres May 7th. She is also starring in Power (debuting June 7 on Starz) and the movie Think Like A Man Too (out June 20).

Inside, Lala chatted about being independent and revealed how you can “have it all too”.

On being independent: 

“I have an independent, hustler’s spirit. That drives me to this day. I never want to ask anyone for anything. And that simple thing has kept me motivated because there is something about having your own.”

Below are some of Lala’s tips:

1. Never Stop Doing You – “The difference with me is that when I first got to know my husband I was already hosting MTV’s Total Request Live, so I came with a full career,” she says.

2. Accept That Having It All Will Require Blood, Sweat and Stilettos – When asked about balancing a family, career and friendships, Anthony responded saying, “It’s tough. I always say that people who think it isn’t aren’t being honest.”

3. Sex May Sell, But Love Keeps You Off the Market – “If you don’t try to spice it up and keep it sexy, anyone can get bored but the key is really taking time with each other,” advises Anthony.
