I love making wishes come true, so if there is something you have always wanted to do - tell me about it! The crazier your wish, the more likely it is that I might make it happen!

Good day!
Hope all continues to be well with you Ms.Tyra. I watch your show and love how you are empowering women of our generation and younger. I admire the relationship you have with your mom, and I'm in need of help with my two teenage girls. They are not 'gone wild' or anything, but I have to admit that our relationship is strained and has been for years. I'm a single mom and it's very defficult to provide for them, hold on to your dreams,keep them in line, and somehow manage the day to day stresses of life. I know this isn't spectacular story, but maybe them meeting you and your mom,can somehow give us inspiration and hope that we can one day have something similar. My oldest will be off to college in less than 2 years, she's not giving her grades her all.I'm just a concerned mom reaching out and hope that this too will come to past..God Bless you and continue to bless this world with your spirit!!

Okay so really what is up with the outrageous cost of a college education? I wish that I wasn't finishing school with so much debt in student loans, I mean I want to go on to get a masters but the cost of my bachelors is damn near ridiculous! I have dreams to eventually start a women's ministry, but it scares me to even go there because, before I can, I've got this necessary evil to take care of. I mean to have no worries of college fees either you gotta be on that Rockefeller status or living under a rock to get any sort of help. And seriously with all of those stupid scholarship websites out there that are giving students false hope, student loans end up being the only way to go. Yea, yea it's an investment, but dag!!! Oh don't think I'm lazy, I work, and just recently moved out of my momma's house, trying to take some personal responsibility for myself (um so what was I thinking), it's kind of like you said in that Essence article, "my fear drives me a little bit." Being a failure, not making rent, defaulting on student loans, or still paying on them in my forties keeps me working and planning. Even if I can't do anything about it now, complacency is NOT an option.

Hey Tyra!!
My name is Maria and I am 24 from Niagara Falls Canada. First off I would love to say that you are an amazing woman and a fabulous role model for all girls. When I came across the posting " What Have You Always Wanted To Do" alot of things came to mind such as meeting my favorite celeb, getting an extreme make-over, being in a music video, etc. Even though all those things would be amazing to recieve, there is one thing I would love to do which will probably be different from any other post u recieve. I love and play ALOT of poker and dream about getting the opportnity to play in the World Seris Of Poker (WSOP) the main event in Las vegas. I know I can play with the pros I just need the chance to prove myself. If you choose me and I place "In The Money" I will donate a portion of my winnings to any charity or foundation of your choice. To get an opportunity like this can be a life change. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you soon.
Maria, XO

Well I tried to take of something funny and crazy to say this story but I cant. What Im about to say I take it to the heart no jokes about it. My boyfriend thanks Im crazy,because I cried over them. But hey what can I say I love the SPICE GIRLS and I always have til this day I still have the dolls up well now I have a lil girl so the barbies are in her room. Tyra I would do anything for these girls if you was to have some kind of fear factor show but you know you always come up with your own name like "FEAR-TYRA" and me and other girls have a chance to meet the Spice Girls for however wins Im so down cuz I would do anything. As a matter of fact when I was in 5th grade I went to a Spice Girl contest and won 3rd place which was really good it was like out of 400 girls. I won some gifts like tickets to go see Spice World Movie the premier and posters and buttons,but it did not match up to the first time winners who won 2 tickets to go see the Spice Girls. (Im crying just thinking of it) Well I went to see the movie and the girls who won first place were there they were older girls like in high school and they had a group of 5. They really look like the Spice Girls. I asked them what are ya doing here and they responded with What are you doing here? And I had a dumb look on my face thinking huh.................... Well since there were 5 of them and only 2 could go they gave me the tickets,because they said it was not fair because they all wanted to go together. They said they called the radio station that held it and told them if they could get my number. Well they got my moms work number (back then cell phones were really not a big thing) so they told the guy that picked up the phone at the job to tell my mom that I had the tickets. He ended up not telling me. So we went the next day to my moms job and asked him and he was like oh yea I forgot Im so sorry.... Ever since then I could not stop thinking about that. TYRA CAN YOU BE MY FAIRY GOD-MOTHER PLEASE...

Tyra,
I just got done watching a show about women who are addicted to plastic surgery! i would like to know what happened to these women that they thought that they were so ugly that they needed to change that much about themselves. I would love to fix one thing about me and thats my teeth, but to have 10 or more surgeries to fix my face or body is horrible. One lady was even $100,000.00 in debt, and still wanted more done! That's crazy! Why are people like this? I would love to see a show about this!

Wat's Up Tyra!
This comment is two dreams in one. For the longest our dream has been to be heard.Rika sings and Tiny raps. Trust us if we werent good we wouldnt be so eager and detemined to make this dream come true. All our listeners know we can make it but our problem is, is that we dont know how to.Money is to scarce to even consider a recording studio even though we do live in Chicago. It seems like the only young black talents that get famous are the one that move to California or started young in the industry. We are highly intergized and intelligent.We write songs that we know will grab attention but it seems like they just continue to pile up next to a door.We are waiting for that next door to open. We are 200% sure that you will fall in love with us and our music.We can see you dancin now!lol
Wanna manage us can you handle us... Just jokin
Love

Hi Tyra! I'm Katie and I'm a 16 year old art student in California. Someday, I hope to take my talent (singing) and take it somewhere I can make it. My DREAM is to be successful in life, and if I can make it by singing for my career, I'd be the most satisfied, content, eh...not content EXCITED perosn in the world. Everyone talks about how they hate their job, and I don't want to be another one of those kids in the crowd tlaking about how much they hate work. I want to LOVE my life, and EVERY part of it. So that means I have to find a career I love, right? YEAH! I've got a family that supports me, but unfortunately, we don't ahve the money to send me very far. I recently just quit my job due to a lack of sufficient grades, so I'm now concentrating the most on my school work to get back up there with the pros! Haha, pros!
If you are ever looking for a young singer who you want to get more publicity to, or something along those lines, PLEASE!!!! Contact me! I'm a good girl, and I definitely want to improve the world...well, someday soon. You're a great influential woman, Tyra, and I'm glad to have you as a role-model. I don't think that there's any other woman (other than my mom and grandma) that I would want to look up to.
Thanks for this opportunity!

Hi Tyra,
I have watched your show a few times and really love it. However, I don't always have time being that I am a single working mother with 3 kids. The one wish I am asking for is a very fun but relaxing vacation for me and my kids and my mom! My kids have gone through alot with me in the past 10 years.....I went through being physically abused my thier father and having to practically run away....only to fall into the arms of a guy who stuck my son in the dryer because he wet his pants. It's been crazy and we are finally getting over all the drama but we never really have time (or money) to just get away from it all and spend family time. I ask to bring my mother along because she has been the best! She has been there for me through it all. She has shed tears of hurt and joy with me. When I left my husband she picked up and moved just to be around me and my kids. Now she is there for me and back me up whenever I need it. She has NEVER gone on a nice vacation and I feel that she deserves one. I think the time together will also help my 10 year old daughter who has gone through soooo much and the toll is showing in her emotions. Please help me with this Tyra!

Dear Tyra, My name is Angela and I just want to start by saying I love all of your shows and that I think you seem like a really wonderful person.
Now for my wish...My wish is that my Quadruplet neices and or nephews will be healthy when they are born in December 2008, since this is not something you can help with I was wondering if you could help us find organizations to help my sister in law and my future nieces and nephews have a wonderful start in life. We are going to need some serious help with all the necessities! So Tyra if you ever get around to reading this, since there are so many...could you help us!?! We would be forever grateful.
Oh and can everyone pray for the quadruplets?!!
thank you!
Angela

Good day!
Hope all continues to be well with you Ms.Tyra. I watch your show and love how you are empowering women of our generation and younger. I admire the relationship you have with your mom, and I'm in need of help with my two teenage girls. They are not 'gone wild' or anything, but I have to admit that our relationship is strained and has been for years. I'm a single mom and it's very defficult to provide for them, hold on to your dreams,keep them in line, and somehow manage the day to day stresses of life. I know this isn't spectacular story, but maybe them meeting you and your mom,can somehow give us inspiration and hope that we can one day have something similar. My oldest will be off to college in less than 2 years, she's not giving her grades her all.I'm just a concerned mom reaching out and hope that this too will come to past..God Bless you and continue to bless this world with your spirit!!

Okay so really what is up with the outrageous cost of a college education? I wish that I wasn't finishing school with so much debt in student loans, I mean I want to go on to get a masters but the cost of my bachelors is damn near ridiculous! I have dreams to eventually start a women's ministry, but it scares me to even go there because, before I can, I've got this necessary evil to take care of. I mean to have no worries of college fees either you gotta be on that Rockefeller status or living under a rock to get any sort of help. And seriously with all of those stupid scholarship websites out there that are giving students false hope, student loans end up being the only way to go. Yea, yea it's an investment, but dag!!! Oh don't think I'm lazy, I work, and just recently moved out of my momma's house, trying to take some personal responsibility for myself (um so what was I thinking), it's kind of like you said in that Essence article, "my fear drives me a little bit." Being a failure, not making rent, defaulting on student loans, or still paying on them in my forties keeps me working and planning. Even if I can't do anything about it now, complacency is NOT an option.

Hey Tyra!!
My name is Maria and I am 24 from Niagara Falls Canada. First off I would love to say that you are an amazing woman and a fabulous role model for all girls. When I came across the posting " What Have You Always Wanted To Do" alot of things came to mind such as meeting my favorite celeb, getting an extreme make-over, being in a music video, etc. Even though all those things would be amazing to recieve, there is one thing I would love to do which will probably be different from any other post u recieve. I love and play ALOT of poker and dream about getting the opportnity to play in the World Seris Of Poker (WSOP) the main event in Las vegas. I know I can play with the pros I just need the chance to prove myself. If you choose me and I place "In The Money" I will donate a portion of my winnings to any charity or foundation of your choice. To get an opportunity like this can be a life change. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from you soon.
Maria, XO

Well I tried to take of something funny and crazy to say this story but I cant. What Im about to say I take it to the heart no jokes about it. My boyfriend thanks Im crazy,because I cried over them. But hey what can I say I love the SPICE GIRLS and I always have til this day I still have the dolls up well now I have a lil girl so the barbies are in her room. Tyra I would do anything for these girls if you was to have some kind of fear factor show but you know you always come up with your own name like "FEAR-TYRA" and me and other girls have a chance to meet the Spice Girls for however wins Im so down cuz I would do anything. As a matter of fact when I was in 5th grade I went to a Spice Girl contest and won 3rd place which was really good it was like out of 400 girls. I won some gifts like tickets to go see Spice World Movie the premier and posters and buttons,but it did not match up to the first time winners who won 2 tickets to go see the Spice Girls. (Im crying just thinking of it) Well I went to see the movie and the girls who won first place were there they were older girls like in high school and they had a group of 5. They really look like the Spice Girls. I asked them what are ya doing here and they responded with What are you doing here? And I had a dumb look on my face thinking huh.................... Well since there were 5 of them and only 2 could go they gave me the tickets,because they said it was not fair because they all wanted to go together. They said they called the radio station that held it and told them if they could get my number. Well they got my moms work number (back then cell phones were really not a big thing) so they told the guy that picked up the phone at the job to tell my mom that I had the tickets. He ended up not telling me. So we went the next day to my moms job and asked him and he was like oh yea I forgot Im so sorry.... Ever since then I could not stop thinking about that. TYRA CAN YOU BE MY FAIRY GOD-MOTHER PLEASE...

i love the tyrabanks show i watch it every day.i think tyra should get kimora lee simmons on the show ecause she is my role model a nd she is a hard working woman
Posted by: shaylis | March 11, 2008 7:48 PM
Tyra,
I just got done watching a show about women who are addicted to plastic surgery! i would like to know what happened to these women that they thought that they were so ugly that they needed to change that much about themselves. I would love to fix one thing about me and thats my teeth, but to have 10 or more surgeries to fix my face or body is horrible. One lady was even $100,000.00 in debt, and still wanted more done! That's crazy! Why are people like this? I would love to see a show about this!

Wat's Up Tyra!
This comment is two dreams in one. For the longest our dream has been to be heard.Rika sings and Tiny raps. Trust us if we werent good we wouldnt be so eager and detemined to make this dream come true. All our listeners know we can make it but our problem is, is that we dont know how to.Money is to scarce to even consider a recording studio even though we do live in Chicago. It seems like the only young black talents that get famous are the one that move to California or started young in the industry. We are highly intergized and intelligent.We write songs that we know will grab attention but it seems like they just continue to pile up next to a door.We are waiting for that next door to open. We are 200% sure that you will fall in love with us and our music.We can see you dancin now!lol
Wanna manage us can you handle us... Just jokin
Love

Hi Tyra! I'm Katie and I'm a 16 year old art student in California. Someday, I hope to take my talent (singing) and take it somewhere I can make it. My DREAM is to be successful in life, and if I can make it by singing for my career, I'd be the most satisfied, content, eh...not content EXCITED perosn in the world. Everyone talks about how they hate their job, and I don't want to be another one of those kids in the crowd tlaking about how much they hate work. I want to LOVE my life, and EVERY part of it. So that means I have to find a career I love, right? YEAH! I've got a family that supports me, but unfortunately, we don't ahve the money to send me very far. I recently just quit my job due to a lack of sufficient grades, so I'm now concentrating the most on my school work to get back up there with the pros! Haha, pros!
If you are ever looking for a young singer who you want to get more publicity to, or something along those lines, PLEASE!!!! Contact me! I'm a good girl, and I definitely want to improve the world...well, someday soon. You're a great influential woman, Tyra, and I'm glad to have you as a role-model. I don't think that there's any other woman (other than my mom and grandma) that I would want to look up to.
Thanks for this opportunity!
-Katie OB

Hi Tyra,
I have watched your show a few times and really love it. However, I don't always have time being that I am a single working mother with 3 kids. The one wish I am asking for is a very fun but relaxing vacation for me and my kids and my mom! My kids have gone through alot with me in the past 10 years.....I went through being physically abused my thier father and having to practically run away....only to fall into the arms of a guy who stuck my son in the dryer because he wet his pants. It's been crazy and we are finally getting over all the drama but we never really have time (or money) to just get away from it all and spend family time. I ask to bring my mother along because she has been the best! She has been there for me through it all. She has shed tears of hurt and joy with me. When I left my husband she picked up and moved just to be around me and my kids. Now she is there for me and back me up whenever I need it. She has NEVER gone on a nice vacation and I feel that she deserves one. I think the time together will also help my 10 year old daughter who has gone through soooo much and the toll is showing in her emotions. Please help me with this Tyra!

Dear Tyra, My name is Angela and I just want to start by saying I love all of your shows and that I think you seem like a really wonderful person.
Now for my wish...My wish is that my Quadruplet neices and or nephews will be healthy when they are born in December 2008, since this is not something you can help with I was wondering if you could help us find organizations to help my sister in law and my future nieces and nephews have a wonderful start in life. We are going to need some serious help with all the necessities! So Tyra if you ever get around to reading this, since there are so many...could you help us!?! We would be forever grateful.
Oh and can everyone pray for the quadruplets?!!
thank you!
Angela
