Tyra Banks

by Elexus from Reynoldsburg

"Never dull your shine for somebody else."• Tyra Banks

Tyra Banks is my personal hero. I picked her because she's a positive role model to look up to. She inspires women from all different places in the world making them more comfortable and confident in themselves. Tyra, also, inspires young girls to follow their dreams through all circumstances in which I strongly believe in. She's a supporter for many causes, she is passionate about environmental issues which I think are very important.

Banks is an awesome role model and hero because of the impacts she has made on people's lives. She is a upstanding role model for young woman because she challenges herself, working hard to accomplish all of her goals. Not only did she achieve her goal, she is always looking to set new goals for herself which I think is vital for success. She created T ZONE a program which enhances independence and self esteem in young ladies. She was also the first African American woman to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, giving us young black girls a new light to look at ourselves in.
