"It's about people": Kiyan Anthony's mom La La Anthony shares thoughts on her rehabilitation program getting a social justice award 

La La Anthony started a rehabilitation program called "ThreeSixty" to provide mentorship, life coaching, legal services, and re-entry tools to young men (aged 18–21) incarcerated at Rikers Island.

The official page of ThreeSixty shared a carousel of images honoring La La's program with the JUMP Entertainment & Social Justice Changemaker Award on Tuesday:

"🎉Honoring the Work- Celebrating the Mission. Thank you to Larry Miller and JUMP for recognizing ThreeSixty with the JUMP Entertainment & Social Justice Changemaker Award for our commitment to prison reform and re-entry support at Rikers Island. This award is a testament to our organization’s hard work, dedication, and unwavering belief that every young man deserves the opportunity to rebuild, lead, and thrive beyond incarceration. ⭐🔑" the post was captioned.

La La Anthony, Syracuse Orange signee Kiyan Anthony's mother, talked about the goal of the program.

"This work, this fight, this mission isn't about policy and programs. For me, it's about people," said Anthony. "I've sat across countless young men at Riker's Island who are written off before they ever had a chance to write their own future."

La La Anthony talks about working different jobs growing up

In a YouTube video uploaded by SoFi on April 16, La La Anthony discussed several topics, including the kind of jobs she held growing up.

"I worked at a tattoo shop when I was 15 or 16," Anthony said. "I had no business working at a tattoo shop, but I was the receptionist, seeing crazy stuff like the tattoo artist spelling a name wrong and it's already tattooed on somebody."

She added that earning her own money was very important to her:

"Nothing bothered me more than to have to ask somebody for something," Anthony said. "So I don't want to be in that position, so tattoo shop, telemarketing, Baskin-Robins, sneaker stores, interning at the radio station, everything."
