I think you should do a show on tees who have cancer and about there about there experiences

 

I think it would be a great to have B. Smith on your program discussing Strong Women Entrepreneurs. If so, I would love to know when she will be appearing as guest.

 

I was thinking that maybe you could do a show about teenage girls and their moms. why they don't trust them or CAN'T trust them. If saying theyre going to beat them when they do something wrong works or not. Thanks Tyrra!!

 

hi tyra my name is erika glover and i am a single parent of one a son. i would like to try and do something for myself for a change. i want to throw myself a 30th birthday party and i would like and try to get a dress made by mrs. tina knowles is it possible that you could foward this so she can get in touch with me thank you and i think that you are blessed person.

 

Dear tyra
i would like you to talk about the modeling agentcy. becuase there are a lot of young girls out there that do have the stuff for being a model and they just dont know were to go and there is this one place called barbizon that is a modeling and acting place were you could take classes and they could end up in comercials and i would like it if you let all of the young girls out there and me about this place and i would love for you to invite me there so i could come and talk more about it. you see i did go there for auditions and the only thing that is holding me back is money. so i would love it if you talked about that in one of your shows. so please contat me.

 

Dear Tyra,

I would love to see a show raising awareness about human hair extensions and where they come from because most are from 12 or 13 year old girls in india that are forced to sell their hair so we can have hair extensions in the western world (although some shave it off as a religious ritual), nobody gives any consideration to the origin of our hair extensions. Some girls in India and Russia are even attacked, their hair is chopped off without their consent and sold off to a hair extension company.
Thanks for reading,
Dee

 

Hi Tyra, All of my friends are telling me that I am annorexic, if that's how it's spelled, and I don't think that I am. everyone says that because I don't eat breakfast or lunch and sometimes not dinner, but the thing is, I don't eat because I'm not hungry, not because I think im fat. I'm just worried that I actually am annorexic and I don't know it. But is being annorexic the same as never being hungry? I think you should do a show on the signs of eating disorders so people can now if they actualy are annorexic or not.

Love,
Casey

 

I hope that this message can get to the network
writers soon!
Hello Tyra
I have seen some interesting and controversial
show topics such as "Racial judgements Based on
Names,and Women's views on pornograpy or negative
body images! I was wondering if there could be a
show on "RACIAL JUDGEMENTS BASED ON HOW ONE SPEAKS
or PERSONALIY/STYLE!"I would also like to see some other celebrities on your show such as Halle Berry, Young and The Restless soap stars like
Kristoff ST. John (Neil)and actress Nia Peeples (Karen). It would really good if you could something on " Why Freshy men approach women and tips on how she can avoid his proposal if she refuses to give him her number! I have had this
happen to me a couple of times during my schools days catching the bus from town! I still love your
shows, especially the makeovers,health and your
outfits!

Hopefully this actually gets read by the network or the shows writer.

I'm hoping there is a need to have a show on 'office bullying', subtle discriminations, singled out, avoided, 'never got the memo', everyone pitches in to buy a gift for the boss but doesn't let you in on it, singled out... because they feel 'you are not one of us', 'you are weird/different', ..etc,.

Often what happens is the bullies lie and by this age, they have been doing it for so long, they've learned and become experts to make the other person look bad and.. possibly get fired. Then claim to the one being bullied 'you did it to yourself'. Management doesn't get involved, they don't put a stop to it because they don't like the one being bullied by the coworkers.

Perhaps that gives a start. If this ever did become a show, hopefully someone would email me letting me know the air date so I can record it as I am not home in time to see it on tv.

Thanks Tyra and everyone at the Tyra Banks show.

Hi Tyra
I always see shows about how to loose weight, but never see anything about gaining weight.

I'm 18 years old and weigh 92 lbs. I've been a small person practically all of my life, but with senior year, I guess I've lost that little extra that makes me now super small.

I know that when I complain about not weighing alot, some other girls call me crazy and wish that they were skinny, but I want everyone to know that like being overweight, being underweight is a big problem too. It's hard to find clothes that look good, or even fill up your face in a way that looks healthy. So I need help.

In the past, when I gain a little weight, it goes straight to my gut and butt- not anything significant, but I mean to say that the lbs dont go to the places I want them to go to...if you know what I mean.

I know alot of other girls like me who eat like pigs but still stay really really small. Do you have any tips on how to gain weight in a healthy way so that all the weight is spread out equally?

 

Tyra,

I would like to see you do a show about women in the military. I spent 23 years in the military, and although there are many things that I wish I could have done instead, for my ccumstances at the time it turned out to be a very good decision for me based on my circumstances at the time I joined. I am from the southside of Chicago, and I joined the Navy in the early 80's as a way to get an education, escape my reality, and see the world. I was able to do all those things, but I also paid a price for being able to accomplish those things. There are a lot of young people that wonder if the military is for them and there are especially a lot of young women that wonder if the military is supportive of women especially women of color. I would challenge you to gain perspective from women that have served out country, especially since it seems to be one of the primary platforms our current republican candidate for President wants to capitalize on. There are many perspectives and insight to be gained from women who have served that you will not get necessarily from men that have served.

I found it extremely ironic that from election to election military service is either beefed up on down played depending on where and how we try to swing the vote. I think that you will get a much more honest perspective on the matter if you talk to women who have served, especially depending on what level the woman has served. I also find it ironic that military service in the case of the presidential election is something that is being touted to indicate that someone is ready to lead a country, but you take an individual with similar military service, and they cannot be considered for mid level jobs in some companies. I am equally baffled with the fact that because someone can juggle five children and be governor means that they are ready to be President of the United States, when that is not something that would be considered feasible on any other resume or application in America, and is directly contrary to what was considered when I did serve my country honorable for 23 years in the United States Navt and retired after 23 years of honorable service.

Please present an opportunity to women who have truly served their country to talk about that service and not someone just providing lip service
about serving their country.

 

Hi Tyra,

There is something BIG going on around college campuses. A new site launched called juicycampus. com. People can go onto this site and write whatever they want about whoever they want. The comments tend to be rude and insulting. One of my friends was personally hurt by comments that forced him to come out of the closet before he was ready. I'm scared that if someone doesn't do something soon, students emotionally scared from the site may experience depression and even suicidal thoughts. This needs to be addressed!!

 

!!!!!!!!
Nepal - India sex trade.
Girls as young as 7 are forced to have sex with up to 35 men average a day. Most are beaten as well. Our modern day holocaust.

There is a group out there that works with these women. They are called. "Servants Anonymous".

You should really look into it. You've done a show about Summer and Rich. Now what about 7 year old girls sold into prostitution and raped every single day. There are millions of young girls imported into the sex trade continously.

 

1) Nepal/India sex trade that is going on TODAY as I type this. Girls as young as 7 are getting raped and beaten in brothels in major cities in India. Some girls are forced to have sex with up to 35 men in a day.

2) Can you call yourself a mother?
Personaly, I;m not fond of my mom. Yea, theres a roof over my head and I get food. Support? No. Confidence? No. Praise? No. Afraid of my own mother? Yes.

3) Where are they now? ANTM favorite faces.

Hope you use them. :]

 

A show on adoption and finding there adoptive parents!

Hi Tyra!
Im Amanda I have a best friends since 5th grade when she moved here. She has been trying to find her real parents for forever and a day. Her adopted parents have been looking but they give up and put it to the side so much. Rebecca has just turned 16 and she was hoping to see her mother for her sweet sixteen but when she relized that wouldn't happen then she decided to go away with some friends. I want to help her as much as I can but I dont know what to do anymore. She saw something on your show about adoption (she is ur biggest fan ever!)and we called the number together but they said they have no shows like that coming up. so I told her I would search your site but i found nothing. Please help me or guide me where top look !

 

Hi Tyra Banks, earlier, i had proposed Tyra Show Awards, A few people have commented towards it, this is another idea "With the environment on peril, the effects of global warming are affecting our live, I propose a Show called goes Tyra Goes Green. Give us solution on how we can take care of our environment, without it no worthwhile achievement be it in fashion art science etc can be accomplished."

With over 2000 ideas already flaunted in the website, there are indeed some that really crazy and wild and some that are inline with the Tyra Show Goal, Mission and Vision. These are ideas which are indeed outstanding, motivating, inspirational and help elevate the live of others. My proposed idea is, pick the top 10 best of all the ideas invite them to attend a show, have a chat and surprise them reward with a token of appreciation, the top 3 ideas share a reward from the jackpot, the overall best innovative and creative idea gets the overall gift, the top 3 idealist may get an opportunity to work with the Tyra team until the fruition of their idea is finalized. Nothing is as inspiring as when the fan/contributors take part in a show, it thus becomes a family, our show and people will build it. Am sure the contributors of all the ideas proposed would like to know what will become of all their suggestion.

It has been proven that 60% of the resources are managed by women, and such has been the current phenomenon, indeed women are heroes, sadly though they are the unsung heroes, here now comes the great chance to make women shine and to highlight their exemplary work, achievement and performance. As other colleagues have indicated I too endorse the proposed idea by Eric (Tyra Award Show). If well organized and structured this will me a monumental Award Show akin to the Nobel, the goodness about it is it will outlast this generation and thus we have something noble to give the next generation to continue with. Great mentors will breed from this idea too. I kindly request the entire Tyrashow team to look into this idea if possible work with Eric and bring out and outstanding season. In the words of one great philosopher, “there is nothing as powerful as an idea whose time has come.”
