La La Anthony wants her son to follow in her footsteps and attend an HBCU.

During a PEOPLE Every Day podcast on Thursday, the 39-year-old mother of one and actress spoke candidly about her partnership with McDonald’s. It helps HBCU students get money for college through its Black & Positively Golden Scholarship Program and its partnership with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund (TMCF).

Anthony attended Howard University and hopes her 14-year-old son Kiyan will too.

“He’s just starting high school in the fall, so we started helping him with picking his high school, which is really good because it prepares him to understand the process when it comes to picking a college for himself,” says La La, who shares her son with NBA star Carmelo Anthony.

“I would definitely tell him, and he knows what a great experience I had at Howard and understands the importance of HBCUs, and if that’s the right fit for him with what he wants to do, I would support it,” the Lala adds. “But I will definitely continue to let him know what an amazing experience I had and how I think it could be an amazing experience for him as well.”

Back in November, she shared how she and her son spent time during the pandemic, “My son and I have always been close, but I’ve gotten to spend even more time with him — getting even more connected to his world and what’s going on with him. So that’s really been great,” she said.

“And just wanting to be in tune with his experience during this time …we’re often just worried about how it’s affecting us, and we don’t even check in with our kids and see how it’s affecting them,” La La added. “I mean, this is not normal yet, [but] it’s become our new norm, in a sense.”

“So just trying to stay on point with my son, and make sure he’s good and checking with him. But our bond — I feel like now we’re closer than ever,” she said. “It’s something I’m so grateful for that’s happened during this time.”
