9. Boss Lady
Tyra and her mother, Carolyn London, launched a program, the TZONE Foundation, back in 1999 to promote health and wellness for young girls growing up with insecurities. Banks would share her experiences on being an insecure, young girl while growing up with dreams of making it as a supermodel. If anyone was the perfect role model to mentor young girls on insecurities with body image, it was Tyra Banks. She experienced it all from being called too skinny to later in her career being called out for being too fat. “Who would have thought that the girl who was forced to go to the hospital because she’s so skinny would one day be called too fat?” Banks said. “I know the pain of somebody who’s too thin and the pain of somebody that people say is too big.”
