Farewell to the Tyra Banks Show

Though critics joke that The Tyra Show has mostly been a forum for Tyra, it’s also been a source of information and female empowerment for women of all ages from all over the world. After completion of this year’s 5th season, Tyra herself has officially Twittered that “it’s true y’all. The 5th season of ‘The Tyra Show’ will be it’s last.” Over the past four seasons The Tyra Show has explored multi-faceted and controversial subject matter that directly relates to issues that are familiar to many, and picked up 2 daytime Emmy awards for doing so. While we could pass on the televised colonic, we do applaud the former model for being just out there enough to press the issue in such a public way.

Tyra’s decision does not come as a total surprise; her retirement from modeling came at a point where she still had viable options. She will continue working with America’s Next Top Model and True Beauty while exploring other outlets for her creative visions. According to Banks, future projects will “reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are.”
