Tyra Banks (placeholder)
“A smart model is a good model,” Tyra Banks was once quoted as saying, and she seems destined to prove it in every way. Now widely known as one of the world’s foremost supermodels, Banks began her modeling career at the age of 17 with the Elite agency after flirting with attending college at Loyola Marymount. The 5’11” beauty was quickly discovered in Los Angeles, her birth city, and offered a healthy contract with cosmetics company Cover Girl—becoming only the third African-American woman in the world to secure such an opportunity.
Her striking looks and business savvy extended to several offers, including assignments with Ralph Lauren and various magazine covers (over 20 to be exact), including Sports Illustrated and most notably GQ, where Banks became the first black woman ever to grace the cover. In addition to various ads and runway gigs, Banks decided to branch out into feature films, scoring a few high-profile gigs, starring as Omar Epps’ love interest in John Singleton’s racially charged drama Higher Learning (1995) and snagging a stint opposite Will Smith on TV’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. These breakout roles led to more film work, including a British sexploitation film called Inferno and a comic turn in 1999’s Love Stinks with actors French Stewart and Bill Bellamy. In 2000, Banks landed a high-profile gig in the critically dismissed but lively Jerry Bruckheimer production Coyote Ugly, playing a sexy barmaid in a role that showcased all of her assets in one tidy package.
Continuing her dual career, Banks’ devotion to environmental issues has shown the world her ambition to be a role model as well. She is a promoter of a line of greeting cards for Children+Families, an organization dedicated to helping abused children. Created with the aid of children aged eight and nine, the card series is designed to promote literacy for children in troubled homes. Jason Clark, All Movie Guide

Why I want to meet Tyra Banks
i want to meet her because she is one of my so called role model.
well, she has a successful show right now. ever since i watched the Tyra Banks Show, i started to feel that i’m really beautiful in my way. My flaws are not actually flaws but my beauty. I learn more to appreciate every single imperfection of my body. I become a better person than that of before. I also let other people know that they are beautiful in their own ways.
the most appealing thing that strucked me was the “So what” line which means that you can ignore the things or comments other people say to you especially about your imperfections. You must stand up and say, “So what if im damn ___(your flaw/s). I don’t care.I’m dealing with it, so deal with it.”
