Perfect is boring. Human is beautiful.

Tyra Banks signed with one of the world’s top modeling agencies at the age of 17, and walked in 25 fashion shows in her first season before going on to star in music videos, TV shows, and films. A successful businesswoman, she also created her own production company (Bankable Productions) and started a foundation for disadvantaged girls. In 2003, Banks signed on as the host and executive producer of “America’s Next Top Model,” which ran for 24 cycles and was among the highest-rated shows on television at the time. On the show, Banks mentored aspiring models and often voiced her opinion that “perfect is boring.” This simple quote encourages all people to embrace their unique characteristics, the ones that set them apart and make them truly beautiful.
