05:08 - It's making me emotional.

05:50 - But now she is back home

05:52 and is looking forward to the future.

05:54 - When I heal, I'm gonna be the woman

05:56 that I've always wanted to be.

05:58 - Hmm.

05:59 Now let's move on to some screen time.

06:01 (upbeat music)

06:04 I'm so excited to be joined by Lala Anthony,

06:08 just in time for National Black Business Month,

06:10 which runs the whole month of August.

06:12 I'm gonna ask you five questions.

06:13 For question number one, you'll give me one answer.

06:15 Question number two, you'll give me two answers,

06:17 and so on and so forth.

06:18 Are you ready to get started?

06:19 Let's do this.

06:21 You are partnering with Now and Later Candy

06:23 to spotlight and amplify Black-owned self-care brands.

06:26 What is one of your favorite self-care practices

06:29 that would surprise us?

06:30 - Turning my phone off.

06:31 At night, I'm getting good at it.

06:33 My son, Kyan, is the only one who can get through.

06:35 Other than that, the phone gets turned off

06:37 and I'm getting uninterrupted sleep,

06:40 which for someone like me,

06:42 is probably the best practice of self-care

06:45 I could ever do for myself.

06:47 - We always think about self-care as a solo act,

06:49 but it really doesn't have to be.

06:51 So who is that one friend who comes to mind

06:53 when you think about self-care?

06:55 - Kelly Rowland, for sure.

06:56 She is all about taking care of your skin,

06:59 taking care of your body, all of that stuff.

07:02 She's just like the guru.

07:03 - I do wanna mention that Kelly Rowland

07:05 is actually my screensaver on my phone.

07:07 I am obsessed with her, her skin, her hair,

07:09 it's absolutely beautiful.

07:11 She has it all figured out, trust me.

07:13 - I know a lot of people would love to shop

07:15 with more intention, but it's hard to know where to start.

07:18 So what are two of your favorite ways

07:19 to find a brand to support?

07:21 - You know, word of mouth and social media.

07:23 And also, again, for me, the most important thing

07:26 is highlighting the Black-owned self-care brands

07:28 and Black-owned brands period.

07:31 We put a lot of money into other brands.

07:32 It's important to invest in people that look like us,

07:39 that have the same things we go through with us,

07:40 whether it's mentally, with our skin,

07:43 with our bodies, whatever it is.

07:44 I think it's an opportunity for not only me

07:46 to talk about brands that I love,

07:48 but for each one of us to talk,

07:50 whether it's on social media, amongst friends,

07:51 about Black-owned brands that we use and love

07:54 to just continue to support them

07:55 and get the word out there.

07:57 - You're a producer, you're an actress, you're a host,

07:59 and you also created your own incredible haircare brand,

08:02 Inala.

08:04 What were three of your biggest challenges

08:05 while creating your own business?

08:07 - The challenges are starting with yourself,

08:10 the self-doubt, can I do this?

08:12 Are people gonna care?

08:13 Are people gonna wanna support?

08:14 Are people gonna wanna buy something that I put out?

08:17 Getting all those negative thoughts out of your head

08:19 and just saying, I can really do this.

08:21 Then figuring out what is it about my brand

08:24 or what I'm putting out there

08:25 that's gonna be different from what's already out there?

08:28 What's gonna make people wanna grab for my product

08:30 or whatever my thing is that's gonna be different

08:32 from everyone else out there?

08:34 And then three, the patience,

08:36 understanding that everything doesn't just drop

08:38 and the next day it's like, oh, I made millions.

08:39 It's a grind, it's a slow grind.

08:42 And understanding that it takes time

08:44 for people to hear about it and for it to catch on

08:47 and for you to find out who your fan base is

08:49 and your consumer base and what they're looking for.

08:51 A lot of time, patience, and research

08:53 has to go into all of that.

08:54 So you just have to be mentally prepared

08:56 for the journey ahead, but the outcome,

08:59 when it turns out great, is great

09:01 and it makes it all worth it.

09:03 - Your campaign with Now and Later

09:04 is all about prioritizing self-care now

09:07 so you can reset and chase your dreams later.

09:09 What are four dreams or goals that you have

09:11 you still hope to achieve?

09:13 - I would love to continue to become better

09:15 and grow at everything I'm already doing.

09:18 I don't think in anything I've done

09:19 you ever reach your peak.

09:21 Like, okay, I'm done with that.

09:23 You can always be better and grow

09:25 and become more successful in all of the things that I do.

09:28 So continuing to grow as a mom, as a woman,

09:31 it's so important.

09:32 I don't think you ever stop growing in those things

09:35 and paying more attention to my needs

09:37 and the things that make me happy,

09:39 the things that don't, and kind of leaning more

09:40 into the things that make me feel good,

09:42 which is, again, another method of self-care.

09:45 - I read in an interview that you really wanted

09:47 to be outside this summer.

09:49 So what are you doing outside?

09:50 Anything fun?

09:51 - Enjoying myself, having fun,

09:52 allowing myself to have fun, not feeling bad about it.

09:55 You know, I was the kind of person,

09:56 get invited places and like,

09:57 no, I can't, I gotta work,

09:59 or I have this or I have that,

10:00 and just saying, you know what, I'm gonna go.

10:01 Like, I'm not gonna overthink it.

10:02 I'm gonna go, I'm gonna have fun.

10:04 I'm gonna travel, I'm gonna do things

10:05 that I don't normally do,

10:07 because I was always in the mindset of just work, run.

10:09 You can't take a day off, you can't do this,

10:11 you can't do that.

10:12 So really just allowing myself

10:14 to kind of be more free and have these experiences

10:16 and have fun.

10:18 - And finally, can you give us five words

10:20 to describe 2023 Malala Anthony so far?

10:23 - A mother, I would put that before anything.

10:25 I would say passionate, empowered, forgiving, and driven.

10:29 - Malala, thank you so much for joining me today.

10:32 Now everyone, be sure to check out

10:33 Now and Later on Instagram

10:35 to see Malala's pics of Black-owned self-care brands

10:38 and more on her routine.
