Speaker 1: thank you for calling in. First of all, Um, First
2:14
Speaker 1: of all, I gotta go back when I first met
2:16
Speaker 1: you in Los Angeles, and you're just so naturally gifted
2:22
Speaker 1: and but you always always got the impression because you
2:26
Speaker 1: always said that you wanted to be bigger, you wanted
2:28
Speaker 1: to do more. You always felt that you were bigger
2:29
Speaker 1: than radio. What was the drive because you because you
2:34
Speaker 1: was hired from Atlanta to do radio in Los Angeles,
2:38
Speaker 1: which is that's cross country, okay, And that's a lot
2:41
Speaker 1: of emotions, that's a lot of you know, a lot
2:44
Speaker 1: of things that you know. There's no guarantees, but you
2:47
Speaker 1: made that decision. I want to I want the listeners
2:50
Speaker 1: to hear what drove you at that early stage which
2:52
Speaker 1: makes you the success you are today. I think, I
2:56
Speaker 1: think to be successful people have to understand you have
2:58
Speaker 1: to be willing. It's take risks and be willing to
3:02
Speaker 1: you know, push fear out the way. I could have
3:04
Speaker 1: let fear get in the way of me moving to
3:06
Speaker 1: l A at nineteen years old and not knowing anybody actually,
3:08
Speaker 1: you need to even been to l A. When I
3:10
Speaker 1: moved there. I mean, in my world, you can only
3:13
Speaker 1: dream about a place like l A. You weren't traveling there,
3:16
Speaker 1: so I had never been there before, and I just
3:19
Speaker 1: got on the plane and moved there. But I had
3:21
Speaker 1: to let fear out the way because I knew what
3:24
Speaker 1: my goal was. I knew I wanted to be successful,
3:26
Speaker 1: and I knew this was the start of achieving that goal.
3:29
Speaker 1: So I just chopped it up there what I had
3:31
Speaker 1: to do. And I feel like, you know it always
3:34
Speaker 1: decisions And so we met. You know you always can
3:39
Speaker 1: you give, always talk to you about everything, everything and
3:45
Speaker 1: looking at you and and and Steve Harvey. You know
3:48
Speaker 1: that motivated me too because I would see all the
3:50
Speaker 1: amazing things you guys were doing and not just being
3:53
Speaker 1: on the radio like at that time and even now,
3:56
Speaker 1: you know, people want to put people in boxes, like
3:59
Speaker 1: if you're on the radio, you know, that's all you do.
4:00
Speaker 1: If you're a producer, that's all you do. If you're
4:02
Speaker 1: on TV, that's all you do. And Steve was one
4:05
Speaker 1: of the first people along with you know, your help
4:08
Speaker 1: to break those barriers and people. You can do a
4:11
Speaker 1: lot of different things and be great at it, and
4:14
Speaker 1: that's what I wanted to do. So it just taught
4:16
Speaker 1: me at an early age not to put myself in
4:19
Speaker 1: a box and be able to accomplish different things. And
4:22
Speaker 1: then the first big break out of radio was MTV.
4:26
Speaker 1: H and I remember you used to shine at an audition.
4:29
Speaker 1: I mean, you call me. I think I think they
4:32
Speaker 1: liked me. What should I do? You know, I'm over
4:35
Speaker 1: here hustling with Steve, so I really couldn't couldn't, couldn't
4:38
Speaker 1: get into a world. But I can go. Go for
4:40
Speaker 1: a girl, go for it right now. You always gave
4:42
Speaker 1: me the confidence and that's something I'll never forget and
4:45
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for it. That's right. When I even
4:47
Speaker 1: heard about this interview, I was like, ya know, how
4:50
Speaker 1: far back we go, Like many in my career, especially
4:55
Speaker 1: in the early early stages. Yeah, the MTV audition happened
4:59
Speaker 1: and I at that job, and then I moved to
5:01
Speaker 1: New York and he started, you know, hosting, and that's
5:06
Speaker 1: the thing that always and I would text her sometimes,
5:09
Speaker 1: uh when I CEO TV, it was on b ET
5:13
Speaker 1: and just so your articulation and your intellect was always
5:18
Speaker 1: especially when you used to do the social media boards.
5:21
Speaker 1: You was just round and I would text us the girl,
5:23
Speaker 1: are you crazy? That is too good? I would just
5:25
Speaker 1: text her, I don't know, you know, it's you know,
5:27
Speaker 1: because it was just it was just us, just a
5:29
Speaker 1: naturally gifted person and you just and everything came off
5:34
Speaker 1: so easy, and I know it wasn't easy because you
5:37
Speaker 1: put your work in. That was the one thing I
5:38
Speaker 1: want to let everybody know. One of the most hard
5:41
Speaker 1: working individuals is on the phone right here because she
5:44
Speaker 1: puts her time and she's willing to give the hours.
5:47
Speaker 1: She's one of the people that you know I was.
5:49
Speaker 1: I was running the people go what it takes to
5:51
Speaker 1: be successful? And people always asking me about when I said,
5:54
Speaker 1: people always say I want Steve Harvey's career because they
5:57
Speaker 1: want me to manage them. I go, well, okay, let
5:59
Speaker 1: me just let you know. I'm a workaholic, RuSHA McDonald's workoholic.
6:03
Speaker 1: Now Steve Harvey is a workerholic too, because I never
6:06
Speaker 1: had to see on the phone right here, lol, Anthony
6:10
Speaker 1: is a workaholic. So so it's like they don't they don't.
6:14
Speaker 1: Bed is just there. The rest, it's not there to
6:17
Speaker 1: lay in and we don't even and we don't even
6:19
Speaker 1: use we don't even like like we should be rescued
6:22
Speaker 1: fairly even rest. It's just hard work. And sometimes people
6:26
Speaker 1: don't understand that. They see certain things, it looks so easy.
6:29
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I want to do that too, and
6:30
Speaker 1: no one really understands the bloss flood into you that
6:33
Speaker 1: are put behind it like it's not easy. And that's
6:36
Speaker 1: why I always say it sounds so cliche when you
6:38
Speaker 1: say hard work pays off, but it really does, because
6:41
Speaker 1: one thing about me, I just know hard work and
6:43
Speaker 1: I'm watching it even now just continue to pay off
6:47
Speaker 1: in my career. And I'm not gonna stop. I know
6:50
Speaker 1: you're not. And I'm gonna tell you this, what a
6:52
Speaker 1: compliment When I saw your uncensored you are. You are beautiful,
6:57
Speaker 1: You're articulate, you're smart, and and I tell you something
7:01
Speaker 1: when they when they put you in these roles of
7:02
Speaker 1: being a daytime talk show host, you have to have layers.
7:07
Speaker 1: You know, you know, you have to have experiences, so
7:09
Speaker 1: when guests come to you with emotional issues, you have
7:12
Speaker 1: to be able to talk to them. You can't look
7:14
Speaker 1: over the producer, what I say that, what I say that,
7:20
Speaker 1: you were you were. You were everything last night, So
7:23
Speaker 1: so what was the goal that you were trying to
7:26
Speaker 1: accomplish when they approach you to do uncensored for TV one.
7:30
Speaker 1: I think for me it's just allowing people to see
7:33
Speaker 1: who I am as a person, even though I do
7:35
Speaker 1: feel like people know that, but just then inside glimpse
7:37
Speaker 1: of my life and how I started and how I
7:40
Speaker 1: made it to where I'm at today. And for me,
7:42
Speaker 1: it's more of an inspiring story for young women out
7:46
Speaker 1: there who are trying to achieve goals to look at,
7:48
Speaker 1: you know, the struggles are, are different things I've been
7:51
Speaker 1: through to get to where I'm at, and just to
7:53
Speaker 1: inspire people to say, you know, you could do the
7:56
Speaker 1: same thing. None of us were born with a silver
7:58
Speaker 1: spoon in our mouthful. Y'all worked hard and came from
8:01
Speaker 1: humble beginnings and made you know, great lives for ourselves
8:04
Speaker 1: and just telling other people like you can do this too,
8:08
Speaker 1: you can she these goals. And more so for me,
8:12
Speaker 1: it was motivating and inspiring to people out there and
8:14
Speaker 1: just gave people inside, look at, you know, my life
8:17
Speaker 1: and how how I did what I did and how
8:19
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, because continue now that that's really
8:23
Speaker 1: cool because when I was when I was watching it, like,
8:25
Speaker 1: I really love the interaction between you and your son.
8:28
Speaker 1: There was like, oh, you know, you know, produce. I
8:32
Speaker 1: wouldn't produce a mode right there. She used to talk
8:35
Speaker 1: show right there, right there, right there, look at look
8:37
Speaker 1: at it right there. Every mom in the country. She
8:40
Speaker 1: got the soccer moms right there, she got the regular moms,
8:43
Speaker 1: a single mom, she got every mom and that moment
8:46
Speaker 1: right there, and then said, at the age you're at
8:49
Speaker 1: right now, and and and in years, they've a lot
8:51
Speaker 1: of people have tried to lock that age group that
8:54
Speaker 1: you control right now, and I'm just learning, you know,
8:57
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you got all the right people
8:59
Speaker 1: around you. If if the offer comes to you, go
9:01
Speaker 1: for a girl because you're ready. Yeah, well, Roshan, I'll
9:05
Speaker 1: be calling you like I did in the past. What
9:09
Speaker 1: am I supposed to do? Because that that would be
9:11
Speaker 1: a new field for me and something I know, you know,
9:15
Speaker 1: So I'm just appreciative to have people like you in
9:18
Speaker 1: my corner no matter what I decided. And it's time,
9:21
Speaker 1: It's really it's time because like I said, you know,
9:23
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about some of the other things you're doing.
9:25
Speaker 1: But before we transition to power and the clothing line
9:30
Speaker 1: and and the other shows that you're doing, I experienced,
9:34
Speaker 1: you know, emotional tragedy in my life with the hurricane
9:37
Speaker 1: hit Houston, Texas. And then basically, you know, that's the
9:42
Speaker 1: hurricane country, just like Puerto Rico is hurricane alley sometimes.
9:47
Speaker 1: And but what it did to my city was devastating
9:51
Speaker 1: because you know, you have you know, you have the
9:53
Speaker 1: black neighborhood, you have the white where the white neighborhood's
9:55
Speaker 1: got floated this time. Okay, the white neighbor has got
9:58
Speaker 1: to up this time. So really knocked the city for
10:01
Speaker 1: a loop because they did Nobody expected that, you know,
10:03
Speaker 1: because our high end neighborhoods of Memorial or River, well
10:08
Speaker 1: guess what they were underwater underwater. And so when I
10:11
Speaker 1: saw what happened to Puerto Rico, can you just let
10:14
Speaker 1: everybody know, walk us into the emotion that you were
10:17
Speaker 1: tied to that situation there when the hurricane hit. Yeah,
10:21
Speaker 1: it's definitely emotional. I mean, my families from Puerto Rico.
10:24
Speaker 1: I still have family in Puerto Rico, and you're just
10:26
Speaker 1: watching this happen and you know you're not there, so
10:29
Speaker 1: you feel helpless. You're just watching and you can't get
10:31
Speaker 1: in touch with anyone. You're calling, phone lines are down,
10:35
Speaker 1: you're emailing and king responsors. You don't know if family
10:38
Speaker 1: members are alive, Are they okay? Like those are some
10:41
Speaker 1: of the you know, hardest days of my life, just
10:43
Speaker 1: waiting to just get a answer yes and no, anything,
10:47
Speaker 1: just just something like that's so hard. And then you know,
10:51
Speaker 1: luckily all my family was okay and I did get
10:53
Speaker 1: those responses. But what's even more heartbreaking is how we
10:57
Speaker 1: watched out, you know, the United States and our president
11:00
Speaker 1: and kind of handled Puerto Rico became like a joke
11:03
Speaker 1: and oh it's not as good as as as you're thinking.
11:05
Speaker 1: Then you know, you never saw anything else about Puerto
11:08
Speaker 1: Rico on the news or anything. If you go to
11:10
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Now, yeah, San Juan, which is the main town,
11:13
Speaker 1: looks somewhat like itself, but go a couple of miles
11:17
Speaker 1: up into you know, some of the town that's still
11:20
Speaker 1: it's just horrible. Like there's still places with no electricity,
11:24
Speaker 1: there's still places with no running water, and you just
11:26
Speaker 1: would never know that. It's all of a sudden, Puerto
11:29
Speaker 1: Rico just got forgotten about so I'm here to continue
11:32
Speaker 1: to bring the word out into the kneeds of Puerto Rico,
11:35
Speaker 1: continue to raise money, do what I can. Um Spike
11:38
Speaker 1: Lee actually called me over the weekend and we're planning
11:41
Speaker 1: something together in Puerto Rico. So just continuing to keep
11:45
Speaker 1: the spotlight on it, because if we're just going off
11:47
Speaker 1: a television you would think Puerto Rico's back in tip
11:50
Speaker 1: top shape and and doesn't need a thing. And that's
11:52
Speaker 1: just not the case, right, And that's why I wanted
11:55
Speaker 1: to make sure I brought that up in our interview,
11:57
Speaker 1: because this is bigger than um a movie you're in,
12:02
Speaker 1: a TV show I'm producing, because people's lives. This is
12:06
Speaker 1: real life, this is truth. This is real life. But
12:08
Speaker 1: but you do have some big things happening and and
12:11
Speaker 1: coming up, we're gonna talk about the the power you know.
12:15
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe how biggest God in
12:18
Speaker 1: you just you just everywhere. We'll be back with more
12:22
Speaker 1: money making conversations with my girl Lala Anthony stop I
12:27
Speaker 1: got on the line one of the biggest entertainers in
12:30
Speaker 1: the game today, La La Anthony. How before before we
12:36
Speaker 1: move on to guys, don't know, before we move on
12:40
Speaker 1: to power during the show. I always tell people always
12:44
Speaker 1: about relationships and how the support system that you put
12:47
Speaker 1: around it. And you mentioned four very powerful people that
12:51
Speaker 1: I that I respect, that I admire that I they're
12:57
Speaker 1: a new age entrepreneur, uh Eras, Serena Williams, and Kim
13:03
Speaker 1: Kardashian and just shortly you just tell us, you know,
13:06
Speaker 1: you mentioned their names, so they had to be some
13:08
Speaker 1: importance and when when times needed advice needed, what do
13:12
Speaker 1: they do for you? Well that that they're my group
13:15
Speaker 1: of girlfriends that are also in the business, so we've
13:18
Speaker 1: all experienced the same things, or you know, one of
13:21
Speaker 1: us that might be more well versed in something than
13:24
Speaker 1: the other. And it's great to have these strong, independent
13:27
Speaker 1: women that you can call friends and you can call
13:29
Speaker 1: on for advice, whether it's personal life just you know,
13:32
Speaker 1: chit chat girl talk, or whether it's about a new
13:35
Speaker 1: business insurance, Like, hey, I know you might have worked
13:37
Speaker 1: with these people before. I know you know more about
13:40
Speaker 1: this than I do. How do I approach this? Like
13:42
Speaker 1: you want that kind of support system? And as women,
13:45
Speaker 1: you know, we're so used to women, you know, being
13:47
Speaker 1: caddie and tearing each other down that it's so great
13:50
Speaker 1: to have a strong group of women that just are
13:53
Speaker 1: positive and lift each other up. So it's been amazing
13:57
Speaker 1: to have them in my life and and use them
13:58
Speaker 1: as a source of know knowledge and inspiration. It's been great.
14:02
Speaker 1: And now each one is layered and that's what I
14:05
Speaker 1: really like about it. And they truly have been in
14:07
Speaker 1: the spotlight, I mean by like goods, by like challenge,
14:11
Speaker 1: bylight negative and they all handled like queens, like like
14:15
Speaker 1: queens of the business, like been there, done that, and
14:19

Speaker 1: that you are in this business. Day. Let's go to power,
14:25
Speaker 1: power now that that's taken over my life, I'm being
14:31
Speaker 1: honest with you. I remember you told me about used
14:33
Speaker 1: to my new show Power, and we've got you Steve
14:35
Speaker 1: Harvard Morning Show, just talk about it. I did not
14:38
Speaker 1: see the popularity is. I didn't see that power has
14:42
Speaker 1: been to become as powerful ass I know. Just just
14:47
Speaker 1: walk me through the you getting on the show and
14:51
Speaker 1: then watching it blow up like this, la la. It's unreal.
14:56
Speaker 1: Sometimes I still look at it, Lakisha say, Lakisha, Lakisha,
14:59
Speaker 1: look Filasia. It's kind of looking at it like this
15:02
Speaker 1: is really happened. But I'll tell you what it's. It's
15:05
Speaker 1: a passion in the vision. I remember when sixty years
15:08
Speaker 1: ago because he said is an executive one of the
15:11
Speaker 1: creators of the show. I remember when he came to
15:13
Speaker 1: me and said, I'm working on the show Power. It's
15:16
Speaker 1: gonna be this and that, and he told me it
15:19
Speaker 1: was gonna be exactly what it became. And that's just
15:22
Speaker 1: to our our audience out there about you know, having
15:25
Speaker 1: passion in a dream like he said it was gonna
15:27
Speaker 1: be exactly what it became. And he was like, when
15:29
Speaker 1: opportunity presents itself, I want you to audition. I want
15:33
Speaker 1: you to you know, audition and come on board. But
15:35
Speaker 1: I worked hard for that role. I auditioned, I earned it.
15:38
Speaker 1: But he had this vision and it really became what
15:41
Speaker 1: he said it would. And it's it's been amazing that
15:44
Speaker 1: we're now going to be on season five that comes on.
15:47
Speaker 1: That's your life first, still breaking records and killing numbers,
15:51
Speaker 1: and season five which is killing it. And just so
15:55
Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was so mad when I
15:57
Speaker 1: thought that they killed you off, girl. I was well
16:00
Speaker 1: so bad. You know, people were literally making shirts that
16:06
Speaker 1: was like, where's the key show crazy, Where were your boy?
16:09
Speaker 1: Your boy was buying and making them? Okay? Because I
16:13
Speaker 1: was mad. So funny, it was so funny just to
16:16
Speaker 1: see the movement. But it's a testament to how invested
16:19
Speaker 1: people are at the show and these characters. It's a
16:21
Speaker 1: great thing. And when a little girl got shot, I know,
16:26
Speaker 1: I did not see that as a writer. As a writer,
16:29
Speaker 1: I did not see that coming. I did not see.
16:31
Speaker 1: But when she was talking all that smack to that dude,
16:34
Speaker 1: I looked at my wife. She gonna shot. He's gonna
16:37
Speaker 1: shoot her. And when she when she fell down, I went.
16:41
Speaker 1: Then I turned to a little scary brother, you know,
16:43
Speaker 1: hide behind the wall. I was just ye. But but
16:46
Speaker 1: but it's so great to see your part of something
16:49
Speaker 1: great because that's television history that you're involved in, and
16:52
Speaker 1: it's about and that's about the testament to the brands
16:54
Speaker 1: that you're tied into. Let's let's let's twut you a
16:57
Speaker 1: couple of little gears here and go to the entrepreneurship side,
16:59
Speaker 1: and you your clothing line that you've launched. The genes
17:04
Speaker 1: right something, the genes and all tell us about the
17:08
Speaker 1: whole process. How does want to launch a line like that,
17:11
Speaker 1: and why did you think there was a need for
17:13
Speaker 1: a line like that? So I wanted to do the
17:16
Speaker 1: Denom line just because you know, people would start me
17:19
Speaker 1: retire or write me on social media or when they
17:21
Speaker 1: saw me about my style and how much they loved
17:24
Speaker 1: my style. And I felt like, you know, people like
17:26
Speaker 1: how addressed they like my vibe, why don't I create
17:28
Speaker 1: a line to bring this kind of vibe to everyone
17:31
Speaker 1: out there? And the reason I partner with Lord and
17:33
Speaker 1: Taylor the line is exclusive right now for Lord and
17:36
Speaker 1: Taylor's because I felt like they understood my vision. And
17:40
Speaker 1: one of the things about my vision was I wanted
17:42
Speaker 1: my clothing line to go from size zero. I wanted
17:46
Speaker 1: my clothing line to reflect what the world looked like today.
17:50
Speaker 1: You know, when you go outside, you're not just seeing
17:52
Speaker 1: size zero's walking around, You're seeing everything and all women
17:56
Speaker 1: look beautiful at all, you know, shapes and sizes, and
17:59
Speaker 1: Lord Shaylor's got that well. People will be surprised to
18:02
Speaker 1: know is there's so many places that they don't want
18:03
Speaker 1: to go over a size tent, like they won't even
18:05
Speaker 1: touch it. You know, they don't feel like that their
18:08
Speaker 1: brand or their marketing. And I didn't want to be
18:10
Speaker 1: involved in companies like that. So we brought this clothing
18:13
Speaker 1: line to life, and it's been extremely um successful and
18:16
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm really proud of. Well you should be,
18:20
Speaker 1: because you got it. I have six sisters and each
18:23
Speaker 1: of them, you know, they're not all the same size,
18:25
Speaker 1: and they fit in at zero to twenty four. Okay,
18:29
Speaker 1: so they happy. They're happy. And it's important that you
18:34
Speaker 1: the reason that's why you're successful, because you recognize that
18:37
Speaker 1: all sizes matter and that that's that's that's not just
18:41
Speaker 1: a corner phrase, because it does. Because I know some
18:45
Speaker 1: clothing lines they said, we're only dealing with petits all
18:48
Speaker 1: dealing and you get over to they don't even know
18:51
Speaker 1: you exist. And that's not fair. That's not fair. That's
18:55
Speaker 1: not And I had people I met with that said,
18:57
Speaker 1: we love the line, but we're only gonna, you know,
18:59
Speaker 1: service to size ten or twelve. And as much as
19:02
Speaker 1: some of those businesses were big and I wanted to
19:04
Speaker 1: be in business, I had to say no because that's
19:06
Speaker 1: not what I represent. You know, I represent all shapes
19:09
Speaker 1: and all sizes, and I had to stick to my guns.
19:11
Speaker 1: And I was happy to find a place like Lord
19:14
Speaker 1: and Taylor that got it and wanted to do this
19:16
Speaker 1: business with me. So your mom, she's beautiful, your mama
