Her Campus: If you could invite 4 famous people to dinner, who would you choose and why?

Tigi Bah: Tyra Banks– Tyra Banks taught me a lot of things about being a woman from watching The Tyra Show growing up. 

Rihanna– I love how empowering and unapologetic she is. 

Michelle Obama– No other first lady has came in and accomplished as much as she has. I love how she is constantly encouraging young children to stay healthy and take care of themselves because a lot of times we forget about young children.

Marc Lamont Hill- I really really enjoyed his speech at Georgia State and I feel like I can learn so much from him. 

Her Campus: Why is it so important that you stay true to yourself? 

Tigi Bah: It is so important to stay true to yourself because I swear it is so easy to get caught up in everything else. If you have a true sense of who you are, that plays a major role in all the decisions you make in life.
