The stunning Ashley Graham has taken the world by storm with her boundary-breaking Sports Illustrated issue. “Now is the time: People want to know about curvy women. We are in the middle of a great conversation, and we still have years before we hit the peak,” she has said of her modelling career. Despite being the first plus-size model to grace the front of SI’s coveted swimsuit issue, she’s faced backlash after backlash for her larger frame. Even her stunning Vogue cover has faced criticism, with many fans expressing dismay over reports that the photo was manipulated to make Ashley look smaller. The classy body-positive activist has taken all the negativity in her stride. “There are too many people thinking they can look at a girl my size and say that we are unhealthy,” Ashley says.
“You can’t. Only my doctor can.” The 29-year-old has appeared in everything from a music video for dance-rock band DNCE to MTV’s Made as a modelling coach, all the while preaching a message of self-love, health, and inclusivity. “I refuse to let others dictate how I live my life and what my body should look like for their own comfort,” she declares. “And neither should you.”
