**KEDU TYRA!!** My name is Stephanie Osuocha. I am a native Nigerian born in the United States. I must say I have always been inspired by your encouragement to young women all over the globe. Ms. Banks, I am a 22 year old (soon to be)-God Willing college graduate. I started out as a pre-med and French Major but have developed what I like to call a "FASH-PASH" (fashion passion) and a love for all things economical and business oriented. In my culture however, this would be an absolute "disgrace" since there is no degree behind it.It would be a fantasy, a dream really, and working in the fashion world according to all of my family is "unstable" "not respectable" and "unreasonable as a career path". This has broken my heart because I see you and I see stylists like Yaniece Thomas, thriving in an economy that says statistically, you beautiful people just shouldn’t be making it. So, as I finish my last year here in cold Wisconsin (hehe) I will be contemplating about 2 things. Taking the safe route and finding a 9-5 position, or pursuing a dream that is controversial according to my family, and risk losing their respect because of this choice... If I could intern with such a professional stylist such as Yaniece or any in the industry that knows what it takes..., I feel like I would have a leg up... and I could just show them what dedication looks like. Not to mention, I don't exactly fit into the models ideal shape. Irregardless of that, My favoire Professor asked me one simple question. "Can you see yourself living without this passion?” and because the question is an obvious NO, my next step is to figure out what is next. Please help with advice, if

Hey Tyra,my dream for a fantasy makeover would be a harajuku girl. I love Gwen Stefani's line of harajuku stuff and I would like to meet her one day and her harajuku girls in person. one of my dreams is to go to Tokyo and maybe if i do ever go there i would like to met or see a real Harajuku girl, that would be awesome!! but i also remember this season of America's next top model and you did a photoshoot theme of Harajuku girls, that was my favorite!

Hi!! I hope that you are well. Thank you for the opportunity to tell you about my fantasy make over. I would really like a complete dental overhaul. My teeth are are not straight at all on the top row, it is pretty bad. My boyfriend proposed to me on Valentines Day and the idea of wedding photos terrifies me. I wish that I could pay for the work myself but I do not stand a chance. During October of last year I became very ill and starting losing weight quite rapidly. I had to battle the county to provide medical insurance because as a preschool teacher and full-time student ( I also pay for my own education ) I did not have benefits or the money to see a doctor. Luckily they helped me out (but I have to repay them at some point). The doctors discovered a large tumor on my left ovary. I had surgery in November but had to leave my job and school right in the middle of the semester which killed my GPA. I have recovered since and I have started to work again. Recently the engine in my boyfriends car blew up and we are trying to some how pay for the $5500.00 repair. We have also been informed that the clutch needs to be replaced as well, another $1000.00 + is required for that repair. I have also been hit with a $11,000.00 hospital bill for an illness that I experienced in 2007 which I was never billed for in the first place. This bill is now in collections and has destroyed my credit which is already riddled with hospital bills. The money I make is barely enough to get me by as it is, I am stuck. Our wedding has been

Hi Tyra, I have been a fan of yours for a long time. I watch The Tyra Show every morning at 9 a.m. A dream of mine has always been to be a model. I've just never had the money to get it started. I love America's Next top Model. Although I have to be honest I don't watch every episode. Starting two years ago somethin started happening to me and nobody knows why. I started having seizures. When they started I had 4 seizures within 2 days. I was put on Dilantin and it was working. April 18th of this year I married the love of my life :) The end of our honeymoon was the begining of a lot of tragic events. I started having seizures again. They were really bad and at times embarrasing. The night before our last day was when they started. As I was heading into a seizure I peed on the floor. I don't remember that. I went to the hospital in North Carolina. On the way home I had another seizure and went to the hospital in West Virgina. Then when my husband and I got home I had another one and I spent a week in Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton Ohio. I had really bad short term memory loss. I would repeat myself many many times and not know it. I lost vision in my right eye. It did come back, and I couldn't move around on my own so my husband, family, friends and, nurses had to help me. I am now racking up over $4,000 in hospital bills that I can't pay for. While I was in the hospital I found out that my Nanny (my dad's mom) had a heartattack and was also in Miami Valley. I

Tyra, Thank you for including someone with RSD. I have had this horrible disorder for 5 years and am only 25. My wonderful husband keeps me going as well as my soon to arrive daughter. I was a little disapointed when you said RDS and didn't correct it, but I understand that it really wasn't the point of the show. I wanted to thank you on behalf of all those with RSD for the exposure. It is not well known and few doctors that I encounter have even heard of it. Again thank you for all you do! Jessica
