…When 21 came out, mine and billions of other lives were – not to sound dramatic – changed.

Suddenly there were words to that before-indescribable pain, frustration, sadness, then revolution that all comes from a breakup.

Recent years have seen more minority representation and calls for inclusivity than ever before.

Although the post does seem a bit belated, given that all offending parties have already come forth to apologize and finger-point the media’s hunger for “clickbait,” it is heartening to hear the almighty Tyra speak out in favor of inclusion and hopefully influence her peers and disciples to lend their voices to worthier discussions.

The purpose of this assignment is to give us an opportunity to apply the theories that we learnt during the class and imply the learnt personalities onto a “real personality.” Reaching to our consensus, we had chosen Tyra Banks, a television personality, producer, author, actress and former model.

She is a living and non-fictional individual, and throughout the assignment, we will use her as an example to elaborate our idea of personality that correlated to her personality and real life events.

I’m not 100% couture, nor am I 100% TV star,” she writes. She asks Kendall, Gigi and the rest to imagine how they’ll feel when, in their 50s, the even newer wave of models arrives (for dramatic effect, she posits that these will be avatars who don’t even need to work out or sleep).

In the essay, Tyra holds that she is the ideal person to settle the debate, not because her career consists of judging models’ talents, but because she, like Stephanie, remembers trekking all over Europe sans Google Maps and Uber rides and she, like Kendall, knows what it feels like to be neither here nor there. I’m a model that started my career in high fashion, that transitioned to the girl-next-door sexy Supermodel, and then created a modeling reality show that catapulted my career and personal brand further than I could have ever imagined. “My mom always tells me to imagine things from someone else’s perspective,” she explains.

There were roadblocks and people who wanted to halt my success, but the fire in my heart and support of my mother kept me going. The creator is here to end the generational war once and for all, via blog post.

But what I DO remember is that even though I may look self-assured and confident, there was a lot of pain in my heart. However, Tyra (symbolically) holds not just one picture in her hand, but two.
