Hi! My name is Jasmine and I'm 14 years old and I'm very dark And I hate it If I Had 1 wish it would be to make myself lighter I hate being dark its the worst thing ever to me people always talking about me because Im dark. One day this girl said I would be pretty if I was lighter and it still sticks to me this day.

Hi Tyra! This is one of your biggest fans you are so beautiful and such a great person to look up to,but some of the issues you been addressing for example Light Skin vs. Dark Skin and What is Good Hair? made me feel bad in a way because, before I watched either one of those shows I did not notice it and therefore I never looked at a person for being light skin or cause they had long hair but because they were a good person. I think when a person brings up topics or issues that some people are unaware of then some people start questioning themselves. Also knowing that some people actually think that just cause they are fair skin or long hair makes them better than others disgusts me and its upsetting. Hopefully people will get past this whole light skin and hair non-sense but I feel better that now I got my thoughts about these issues all out on the table. You still a role model to me and I wish you the best success for The Tyra Banks Show!
