Tyra Banks is in spring cleaning mode, starting with “America’s Next Top Model” and ending (we hope) with her headquarters.

Banks is currently at work (well, in a hands-off sort of way) on the Tyra Banks TZONE at the Lower Eastside Girls Club, a space within the Lower Eastside Girls Club’s new Center for Community. As the New York Times reports, Tyra has recently turned her focus to female entrepreneurship and empowering young girls, so the combo makes perfect sense.

By working with and around the girls, Tyra tells the Times, “I can do normal work here and they can see me, to know that this is what a business is. It’s not about living on a red carpet. I am a businesswoman who goes to work every single day.”
