And we’re not just talking about ANTM contestant Dani’s tooth gap (RIP).We talk to Jay Manuel, former Creative Director for "America's Next Top Model," about Tyra’s legacy, the cost of being a trailblazer, and what it was like to be on set for that infamous blackface photo shoot.Additional Material By: Citytv, Bankable Productions/Warner Bros., Unclear/Tyra Banks, CW/Warner Bros., and Entertainment Tonight/CBS.Production Music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com.For transcriptions, please visit our website at https://pineapple.fm/back-issue.
