Supermodel turned media mogul; Tyra Banks is an icon that speaks to my generation. I admire her core values and the achievements she has made throughout her life. She has broken down many barriers within the modeling industry in terms of being the first African American to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, GQ magazine and even the Victoria Secret catalogue to name a few. Through her achievements as a supermodel she stands on her own two feet as a host, a head judge and producer on America's Next Top Model. But it doesn't stop there, she hosts her very own daytime talk show The Tyra Banks Show that discusses topics ranging from personal style, to body image, to politics. The show continues to boast the youngest audience in daytime and has won an Emmy. The lady's fierrce!
Tyra stands for redefining beauty and addressing issues that affect the generation of today. She is the ideal spokesperson. Tyra has also spoken openly about her experience as a model and has shown that there is more to the modeling profession than what people perceive it's industry to be. Then through her talk show she continues to instill that truth, where the topics discussed show the audience that there is more to the issue than what is traditionally perceived. Therefore I believe it is important to educate people that the world is not as superficial as people stereotype it be. I aspire to one day translate her vision and relate it to an Australian audience.
The person I am is a reflection of my upbringing and my experiences from life itself. I was never taught how to live my life, but would always observe and listen to others on how they overcame challenges. I've always liked those conversations. I consider myself to be a logical thinker as I search for meaning and understanding in everyday events that occur within society. I stay grounded by keeping an open mind, and by reminding myself the importance of always listening to others and appreciating the things we take for granted. Today I stand on my own two feet with a purpose and an ambition to have complete control of the decisions in my life.
This blog will comprise of those who influence me to do great things; who are from different backgrounds that have made a name within society. People that I admire. I believe throughout our rites of passage we search for inspiration from others to figure out what we want in life, and it is through this blog I share you mine. My wish for you from reading these posts, is that you are similarly affected by them too.
