Dear Tyra,

My name is Nyamal and I am an upcoming Sudanese Fashion Designer. I'm 20 years old and I want to bring out something so unique to the world for young generation (African fashion trends; Which is African textiles to make modern fashion instead of old traditional clothing that grown people wears back home).

I have so much potential and now i just need more support. I truely wants to make a difference (one way or another) since i was the only child that immigrated to America. I have done couple of local fashion shows and PLEASE check out the article about me (Just too say, "I've been waiting too long for a dream to come true").

WEbsite: http://www.mshale.com/article.cfm?articleID=1603

I love you and I believe you are FABULOUS. I looked up to you since I was a little girl. I love how you suprise people with different talent that you can do, I'm multi-talent too and I can do the same... "just searching for a moment."

So please, "i hope this would be my time to see you!"

Sincerely,
Nyamal Dol

Dear Tyra,
My name is Denise Barajas and first off i wanted to say that you have a great and inspirational show. Second, I got accepted to this program called N.E.T, which stands for National Evalgelization Team. What they do is go off for a year and minister and put on retreats to teens around the country. In order to be apart of this wonderful program i have to raise $3,400 dollars before August. I was wondering if there was any possible way for you to help me out I would be forever grateful! Thank-you for your time God Bless.

Hey Tyra,

My name is ShaQuanna, and I'm 22 from Cincinnati, Oh. I recently saw on your show that you were making people's wishes come true and I immediately thought of my mom. My mom had me at 17 and from that point until now she has put herself on hold to make my sister and my dreams come true. My mother and father worked very hard to make sure we never went without even though they frequently did. She's sacrificed buying a car, or new clothes, or even getting her hair done, to make sure she could afford to help put me through college. My mom's dream is to own a brand new car. She's always driving someone's leftovers, and she deserves so much more. She never asks for anything, and is satisfied making my sister and I happy versus herself. If you could make this happen for her, I would be overjoyed. She's an angel and has blessed so many other people, I just hope you are able to bless her. Thanks Tyra!! And keep doing your thing girl!! You are an ispiration to all of us young black females trying to forge a path in this male dominatied society.

Hello Tyra,
I can’t believe I’m doing this. When I was a little girl people used to always tell me that I look like a little black Barbie and that I should be a model when I grow up. Well, I started reading Vogue, Elle and Cosmopolitan at the library and practicing different poses in the mirror. One day when I was in the sixth grade, I told my mama that I wanted to be model. She told me that all models were sluts and that they had to F*** everyone to make it to the top. Sorry for the bad word but those were her exact words. Being a little girl who had been sexually molested, naturally I didn’t want any parts of a world like that. My dreams were CRUSHED instantly.(p.s. @ this time I hadn’t told anyone of my ordeal) I was eleven then now I’m thirty-eight and still get comments that I should give modeling a shot. I would LOVE to walk, rip, or rock the runway. I am 5’11” and weigh 146 pounds. I have two daughters (20 & 15 years old) and will soon be a grandmother. I know that this has to be your most popular request but I have to try. This would truly be a dream come true. Thank you for being you.

Dear Tyra.

Hi, my name is Precious and I'm based in South Africa. I've always been a fan of yours ever since I saw one of your Victoria's Secrets photo shoot @ the age of 9, up until today with me being 21 years of age.

You asked what I've always wanted to do, well... the truth is that ever since I was a little girl, listening to the types of Brenda Fassie (the late) and other famous South African musicians, I've dreamt of being on stage.
Then as I matured, I got introduced to American music, and I started admiring the types of Sherly Brown, Toni Braxton, Brandy and the all time divas Tamia and Beyonce.

Lately, I've fallen inlove with the brand new talent of Ne-yo, and although I loved him from the very first time I heard his first single (So Sick), I must say that I got taken aback when I heard him perform on your stage. The song Time totally took my breath away, and from that day I've wanted to share the stage with him.

Well... I guess that, that might sound like nothing more than some teenage fantacy to every one else in the universe, but that my biggest and most precious of dreams to me.
Thanks for reading my E-Mail Tyra, and for giving me a chance to share with you the wildest thing I've ever wanted to do.

Well, gotta go.
But first, let me just say good luck in everything you do and I hope God grants you so much more of that self asteem you ooze so much of.
Don't ever forget who you are and stay true to yourself, coz you inspire me to love myself unconditionally.

Love Precious, GOD BLESS!

Dear Tyra,
Hey! My name is Angel and I am a small town girl from the eastern hills of Kentucky. I have always had the dream of getting a Dodge Viper! Ever since I seen the car (when I was about 7) I have dreamed of having one. My mom and dad even played a joke on me a couple of years ago on Christmas. They bought me a remote control Viper. My dream car is a Viper.

Hi Tyra my name is Kaycie. I'm almost 20. I'm originally from New Orleans but we all know what happened there. I now live in Nacogoches, Texas. Well what I've always wanted to have my teeth fixed. I have 2 sisters, one older and the other is my twin. They both have had their teeth fixed with braces but after Katrina we didn't have enough money to fix mine. Granted mine aren't that bad, I'm missing one tooth in the front and they are a little crooked but I still don't like smiling in pictures because of it. I think straight teeth can definatly boost confidence and self-esteem. But I already have that :D I would just REALLY like my teeth fixed and don't want to be wearing braces while I'm later in my 20's and onto my 30's. I'm in college now for Radiology and I don't want to wear braces while my career is set. I already look younger than I am :D. Your an amazing person and my role model...Thanks for everything you done!!

Dear tyra my name is monique and i live in south africa. tyra my dream ive always had ever since i dnt knw wen, my dream is to meet celine dion tyra im really crazy about her tyra words can,t even describe she is my biggest inspiration i jst love her tyra please please can you make my dream come true and thank you for being such a huge inspiration on our youth u really rock i love you. monique

I always wanted 2 be a photographer, and make-up artist. I've always loved 2 take pictures & apply make-up 2 my friends & now I've got my daughter loving it. I also loved working with autistic children.

Until recently, I was marriend w/3 children, and had been since I was 18. We didn't have our children right away, n fact we were married 7 years 1st. We met when I was in high schoool. I was 15 & he was 18.

I put him through school and in 1987 he finally grtaduated. However, nothing really changed.

Anyway to jump forward, in 2004 I was in a car accident & have been unable to work. My husband lost his job AGAIN and that just made it worse for me. Of course, he never could hold down a job for very long.

Tyra during my life I was molested by a friends stepfather, raped at knife point, during which the rapest told me he was there to rape me and then kill me. It was like he was on a "mission." After the rape he tied my hands behind my back & my feet together turned me onto my stomache and said goodbye Dawn. I begged for him not to kill me. I told him God would forgive him, to which he answered "do u really think so"? I said, "yes, I will pray for u." Then he ran, like he saw a ghost.

I guess I learned how to be married at 18, and I can learn to be divorced at 45.

God bless my father, sisters & brother for all their help, especially my dad. I would have been homeless even while I was married if not for him. He is my hero. And his success would be a whole other teary story.

Thanks for caring what my dreams were, maybe someday I can achieve them and make my father proud, along with my children.

Keep up your great work, Dawn
