6. Tyra Banks
So maybe her hair has seen many phases, but so has her career. She began to model when she was only eleven years old, and proudly stands as the first African American woman to appear on the cover of GQ and the Victoria’s Secret Catalog. Moving on to television, Tyra has become a major TV personality, from “America’s Next Top Model” to her very own “The Tyra Show,” where she rocks her natural curls. Also a published author, Tyra wrote a book titled “Tyra’s Beauty, Inside and Out,” a book about helping women discover their natural beauty. She has reached out to women everywhere not only with her book, but with the TZONE Foundation. The foundation empowers young girls by donating money to non-profit organizations that serve girls in low-income communities, and offering programs that help girls learn who they are and what they can do for a successful future. The TZONE Foundation stands for everything Tyra believes in: beauty, confidence, and empowering women.
