“My biggest obstacle was that I was black and curvy,” adding that her agency had a list of “designers who will not book Tyra because of hips and breasts. My mother told me the whole thing as we were walking down the street in Milan. She said, ‘They say you’re too curvy. Let’s go order pizza.’ We walked into a pizzeria, and we discussed a career change.”
Tyra, You Go Girl! Don’t let anyone tell you you’re fat!
