One of the most outspoken voices gracing the cover of
magazines today encourages women to be their most confident
selves, recognize their personal beauty, and reach for their
highest dreams in this wise, warm, and inspiring memoir Voluptuous beauty Ashley Graham has been modeling
professionally since the age of thirteen. Discovered at a
shopping mall in Nebraska, her stunning face and sexy curves
have graced the covers of top magazines, including
Cosmopolitan and British Vogue, and she was the first size
14 model to appear on the front of the wildly popular Sports
Illustrated swimsuit issue. The face of brands such as H&M
Studio, she is also a judge for the latest season of
America’s Next Top Model. And that’s only the beginning for
this extraordinary talent. Ashley is leading a new generation of women breaking ground
and demolishing stereotypes, transforming our ideals about
body image and what is fashionable and beautiful. A woman
who proves that when it comes to beauty, size is just a
number, she is the voice for the body positivity movement
today and a role model for all women—no matter their
individual body type, shape, or weight. In this collection of insightful, provocative essays
illustrated with a dozen photos, Ashley shares her
perspective on how ideas around body image are evolving—and
how we still have work to do; the fun—and stress—of a career
in the fashion world; her life before modeling; and her path
to accepting her size without limiting her dreams—defying
rigid industry standards and naysayers who told her it
couldn’t be done. As she talks about her successes and
setbacks, Ashley offers support for every woman coming to
terms with who she is, bolster her self-confidence, and
motivates her to be her strongest, healthiest, and most
beautiful self.
