After a long and illustrious modeling career, Tyra Banks made the decision to leave the modeling world and move on to bigger projects.

"The Tyra Banks Show" is produced in conjunction with Handprint Entertainment and Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Brothers Television. The show debuted in the fall of 2005 and is currently in its second season; a feat achieved by only ten percent of new talk shows.

Tyra Banks expanded her charitable outreach in July 2000 when her self-funded foundation sponsored the first year of TZONE, an annual summer camp experience for teenage girls designed to enhance independence and self-esteem. TZONE will transition into an organization that will build a sisterhood movement by raising funds and making grants to nonprofits that serve low-income women and girls and foster supportive female relationships through innovative programs and services. The Tyra Banks Scholarship was established in 1992 to fund grants that give African-American girls the opportunity to attend Tyra Banks' alma mater, Immaculate Heart High School. After writing Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out (HarperCollins), Tyra Banks realized that the trials she overcame as a teen could be used to connect with girls who struggle with self-esteem issues. Tyra Banks is currently working on realizing her dream of sharing TZONE with young girls across the country through her talk show platform, "The Tyra Banks Show." Tyra Banks is single, and resides in Los Angeles, California.
