Black History Month Essay #8

My essay is about Tyra Banks. She is best known for a chain of depositories named after her, which she has used to become a celebrity.

T. Banks was born in 1973 in Inglewood, California, but nothing interesting really happened when she was a kid. When Tyra went to high school, she was already hot, but that was because she was a Catholic school girl. Due to this and the fact that her mother had a career in photography, Tyra decided to pursue a career in modeling. There's probably truth to the rumor that many adult filmmakers cried when she went to Paris instead of wherever they make those films, but I'm sure they got over it fast.

In Paris Tyra quickly set records for walking on a runway and soon became famous. She appeared in several ads, and was the first to appear in both a McDonald's ad and a Victoria ad successfully. This led to the jealousy of her rival, Naomi Campbell. Naomi was never able to prove that Tyra caused her to fall offstage, but that hasn't stopped Naomi from making allies with Hugo Chavez to get her revenge.

Tyra moved into acting in the mid nineties. She appeared as a recurring character on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Her character was so important that it's mentioned on a wikipedia page! Due to roles like this she went on to appear in movies. Higher Learning was her first big role but she began to get nervous when she learned that Michael Rapaport had connections to Naomi Campbell.

Tyra's next movie was the cynical satire called Love Stinks. This movie deeply affected T., so her brief stint as for grabby Bob Barker's Beauties in understandable. She bounced back, however, and taught Piper Perabo the ropes about bartending in Coyote Ugly. She also had a brief appearance in the then ultimate show about love, Felicity.

With all these sucesses under her belt, she got a show on UPN. Her critically acclaimed America's Next Top Model was a hit on a network already famous for wrestling and scifi shows. In this reality show, aspiring models are dropped off in Paris and they have to fend for their lives against arsonists. They probably vote each other off at some poin. This show, as of this writing, is in it's tenth iteration. There's no truth to the rumor that Tyra has made any deals with any demons, which was proven when her video Shake Ya Body bombed.

While producing ANTM Tyra also has a successful talk show. Her show's slogan is "Every woman has a story...and it happened to Tyra too." As of this writing, Tyra's website has information about transgendered children. Not that I'm saying anything. Some see Tyra as the next Oprah Winfrey, which explains that long kiss they had at the Talk Show Host Award Ceremony.

Tyra Banks has had an interesting career. I believe that I've shown that we will one day see her continue to build her CW empire so she can finally crush Naomi.
