“One thing my mom used to tell me was to look to the other side, and know that my present is not going to be everything.” ~ #TyraBanks 🌟 Raised by her single mother Carolyn, Tyra grew up in a tiny Los Angeles apartment, relying on weekly car‑side ice‑cream chats to dream big and stay grounded while her mom held down two, sometimes three jobs. Those moments became the foundation of Tyra’s ambition and resilience. Now, Tyra honors that legacy by opening Smize & Dream—a flagship ice cream shop in Sydney—for her mama. It’s a full‑circle tribute to the love, sacrifice, and shared moments that shaped her. We love to see it 🥰 👑 #QuwensRaisingQueens 👑 ✨ #FemmeItForward ✨
