Listen "La La Anthony talks living with plaque psoriasis, hosting the 2025 Met Gala red carpet"
Episode Synopsis
On Topic, Off Script host, journalist Brian Mastroianni sits down with La La Anthony. You know La La Anthony as an actor on shows like 'BMF' and 'Power' on Starz, a writer, a producer, and TV host extraordinaire from TRL all the way to hosting Vogue’s livestream of the Met Gala each first Monday of May. Now, she’s partnering with Amgen to spread the word about plaque psoriasis, an autoimmune disease that affects more than 6 million adults in the U.S. alone. It’s a condition that stems from inflammation, causing uncomfortable, painful, itchy patches on the skin. They're often found on the scalp, elbows, and knees. Through Moments with La La, she’s been getting personal about living with plaque psoriasis for more than a decade and how that’s impacted her day to day life. Plaque psoriasis is often dismissed and misdiagnosed as just being another skin condition, which has led La La to dispel misconceptions and open up about her own experiences. Brian sits down with La La to discuss her plaque psoriasis journey, this awareness campaign with Amgen, what it was like hosting this year’s Met Gala and the importance of this year’s Costume Institute exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, and why it’s crucial to reach out to others and seek support when facing an unexpected life challenge.La La Anthony: Instagram, TikTokAmgen: MomentsWithLaLa.comMusic: The Right Direction by Shane Ivers -- https://www.silvermansound.comLogo: David J.
