I loved planning 'The Tyra Show' more than actually having to do it. I loved coming up with show ideas, honing each program and crafting it. I'm more excited being in a meeting than being on TV.

In 2005 when asked about her relationship history Tyra Banks stated 'I won't be using a lot of names [on the show] but a specific relationship had not just cheating but emotional abuse. Banks passed the Executive Education Training Program in February 2012 earning a certificate. Harvard's own newspaper The Crimson was critical of Tyra's public statements about "attending" Harvard.

Banks is one of four African Americans and seven women to have repeatedly ranked among the world's most influential people by Time magazine. Tyra Lynne Banks (born December 4 1973) is a former American model author actress and television personality.
