I launched the Tyra Banks TZONE Foundation with my own money because I feel I have a responsibility to lead by example and bring attention to the issues facing girls and young women. That’s the purpose of The Tyra Show and American’s Next Top Model – to inspire women to take positive action to realize their ambitions.

TZONE Foundation is about:

• Raising awareness about issues girls are faced with today- self esteem body image, social pressures, and the importance of providing girl-only spaces where girls can be free to relate to one another and create with one another.
• Raising the bar in society by encouraging a public dialogue about these topics and giving a voice to those girls and young women often not heard, and to encourage philanthropy to support empowering girls and young women.
• Encouraging the public to give what they can to support community organizations working with girls and young women so they will aim high, dream big and always believe in themselves.

We all stand to benefit from doing this for our sisters, our mothers, our daughters. Please join me in this fierce cause.
