Dear Tyra,

Hey Girl!!!
MY BIGGEST DREAM IS TO BECOME A RECORDING ARTIST. I LOVE TO SING. I TRIED OUT FOR THE AMERICAN IDOL BUT DIDN'T MAKE IT TO HOLLYWOOD. I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO MAKE MY WISH COME TRUE TO SING ON YOUR SHOW TO DISPLAY MY TALENT. I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOOOOOO MUCH IN MY LIFE WITH MY MOTHER DYING AND MY DAD BEING IN AND OUT OF MY LIFE. I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY DISABLED SISTER NAMED JAMIA SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. I'M 21 NOW. I STILL TAKE CARE OF HER TILL THIS DAY. THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY TIMES WHERE I JUST WANTED TO GIVE UP ON MY DREAM BUT SHE BELIEVES IN ME AND TELLS ME TO KEEP TRYING TO PERSUE MY MUSIC UNTIL I GET NOTICED SO HOPEFULLY ITS MY TIME TO SHARE MY GIFT WITH THE WORLD.

THANK YOU TYRA,
JAMEELAH

Dear Tyra,
My name is Katie and I live in an extremly small town in Conneticut. My dream is to meet you. I know that thousands of girls right to you saying how badly they want to meet you but, it truly is my dream. I am 14 years old and have been watching your show since the first season started. Ever since the first time I watched your show I new I wanted to meet you. You are so real.You don't pretend to be something your not. You taught me to love and cherish my body. My sisters always say there gunna try to get me tickets to see your show but I always say that that wouldn't be enough because if I were to meet you I would actually want to have a conversation with you to let you know how much you've helped me get through rough times. You are such an insperation to me. Everytime I have a bad day, when I watch your show your the only thing that can make me laugh and cheer me up. And I always say if you could cheer me up and make me in a better mood and alls I do is watch you on tv I wonder what you would do if I met you. And honistly I really need to know. You have know idea how much it would mean to me if I ever met you. You would make my life. PLEASE TYRA MAKE MY ONLY DREAM COME TRUE!
love KATIE

Dear tyra,
our names are judy and sheila we are best friends and we live in nairobi, kenya.we are undoubtably you're biggest fans ever!!!we watch your show every day, never mind we are in university and have a great deal of work.
our biggest dream is to work for you as fashion correspondents here in africa because we believe that in nairobi the sense of fashion is so way behind considering the fact that your shows here are aired 2years too late and since you're a fashion icon kenyan women insist on emulating your dress code.you will be amazed at the lengths this women go through to look just like you and we are so serious about this!!
Question:are big belts still in fashion in the states????
but fortunately for us we are able to access the internet and surf whats in and whats out through you're website and other fashion websites(like the womans bible,the cosmopolitan)

we look forward to your response
stay fierce!!!!!!!!!!!!
we looooove you.

My name is Keleisha Taylor and I am 17 years old. I am currently a senior at Chula Vista Senior High and I have a dream. It's not to be famous and be on T.V. or anything.
My dream is to personally meet Chris Brown.
Yes, I know that you had him on your show, but I just wish and pray that I can meet him.
He is my favorite musician and I love his style and grace when he is on stage. He gives me butterflies and I love his music. I won't say that I am his biggest fan because I'm sure there a billions of those.
Anyway, my dream is to meet Chris Brown. If I met him, I think my life would be just about complete. If and when I meet him I would ask him to go to my prom with me. That wyould make me so happy that I could look back in 50 years and see those photos. Whether he would accompany me or not, I would still love to meet him. That is my dream. Can you help me?
Thanks Tyra!

Dear Tyra,
I am Kenyan born and work in Maasai Mara. During my free time I volunteer and work for the children. I raise money for food, uniforms, medical and desks. Some of the children here sits on stones as they do not have desks. 7th and 8th grade students remain in school to study at night but do not have solar to give them enough light. They use candles or lanteen that use parafin which is expensive here to buy and dangerous as well. My dream is to see these children dreams come true and can come true if they have a better world to live in. It is in this regard that I write to request for your assistance. These children need desks and Solar please help me make their dreams come true.

Kind regards,

Mercy
