My Mom Never Taught Me To Be

I Really, Really Love China. To Be Honest, The Food Is So Amazing! When I First Went To Beijing And Shanghai, I Actually Became Obsessed With Soup Dumplings, And Would Stand In Lines And Get Them On The Street. It Was Something That I Became Obsessed With And When I Came Back To The States, I Did All This Research For The Best Soup Dumplings In The Los Angeles Area And In The New York Area And It Was Amazing To Find Those Asian Dishes That Were Authentic And I Can Enjoy Them At Home.

As My Mom Wiped The Tears From My Face, She Said, 'tyra, You Know What We’re Going To Do About This? We’re Going To Go Eat Pizza.' We Sat In A Tiny Pizzeria In Milan And Strategized About How To Turn My Curves Into A Curveball. In A Way, It Was My Decision Not To Starve Myself That Turned Me Into A Supermodel, And Later On, A Businesswoman.

I Don't Go To The Cool, Trendy Restaurants. I Go To Either The Holes In The Wall Or The Super-fancy Restaurants Where There Are No Cool People.

I Don't Like Looking At Awards Everyday Because I Feel Like They Can Make You Lazy. So, I Give Them To My Mom And Let Her Look At It Everyday. They Are Symbols Of The Hard Work She Put Into Me. Her Sacrifices Allowed Me And My Team To Win Those Awards. But I Don't Look At Any Awards Everyday.

Black Women Don't Have The Same Body Image Problems As White Women. They Are Proud Of Their Bodies.
