Beautiful bikini shots taken by Ashley! The model looks hottest in swimwear.
What is it that she is unable to do? Although Ashley Graham started out as a model, she now has a large fan base as a body-positive campaigner, podcaster, and so much more.
Ashley, who started modeling at the age of 13, had her big break when she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue in 2016. She was the publication’s first ‘curvy’ cover model. “They warn you on set that every photo might make the cover, so I knew it was a possibility. You are simply in the dark.
“I took every shot very seriously, and I thought it would be really groundbreaking if Sports Illustrated put a girl who’s a size 14-16 — someone who’s considered plus-size — on the cover,” she said to TIME.
I realized later that it might be too progressive. Maybe they’ll hold off for another year. It is unknown. “I immediately thought, “Oh my god, this is real life,” as soon as I saw it. Despite being called a plus-size model her entire career, Ashley never identified as one.
A year before to her big break, the cover girl delivered a Ted Talk on body acceptance. She said during her presentation, “I don’t see it as ‘plus-size,’ I see it as’my-size,'” because she believes the term to be positive.
According to Ashley, there is a significant gap between straight-size models and plus-size models. The designers, magazines, and other organizations regard it as two distinct things, not the models themselves.
Plus-size models are your “other” when you hire them. Only tokens are considered of us.
Isaac, the couple’s first child, was born in January 2020 to Ashley and husband Justin Ervin. The content producer loved her body and told her viewers about her experiences as she carried the baby.
When she revealed she was expecting twins, Malachi and Roman, who were born on January 7, 2022, the same thing happened in September 2021.
Despite the fact that Ashley often uses social media as a highlight reel, she often posts about the “not-so-pretty” things that happen to her. Taking two kids at once while nursing as an example.
Ashley made a statement about motherhood with three small children in February 2022 by posting a picture of herself breastfeeding one of the twins and burping the other with both hands.
“My boys have been the best teachers and constant reassurances that I can accomplish challenging things,” I said. Although difficult, she concluded, the effort had been worthwhile. The adorable mother is now a global brand ambassador for the line of intimate clothing called Knix, where she displays gorgeous items.
