Last night, Saleisha Cooper walked away as America’s Next Top Model. The 21-year-old talked about her low self-esteem as a child, and then added, “I’ve grown into a strong young woman. I’m so happy with myself right now. This is what I’ve dreamed of.”
“You put your nerves into your work.” Tyra Banks told Saleisha. “From week to week, the judges are impressed by your spirit.”
The former L.A. receptionist received a management deal with Elite Model Management, a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl, and a cover story and six-page fashion spread in Seventeen Magazine.
Congratulations, Saleisha!

congratulations to Saleisha Cooper. It’s amazing to think that she ever had a low self-esteem. also congrats are due to Tyra Banks for having the successful show.
