As a proponent of body confidence, Ashley Graham has never been afraid to keep it fiercely real—especially when it comes to owning and celebrating her own body.
Earlier this week, the model and designer posted a photo on Instagram that exposed her cellulite and stretch marks. Graham is no stranger to body-shaming, but the majority of her three million followers are sending her positive vibes for the inspiring shot and caption.
“I work out. I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I’m in. And I’m not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite.. and you shouldn’t be either,” she wrote. *YAASS queen*
While Graham still has her haters, mostly positive notes and messages were left in the comments, applauding Graham. One user wrote, “Keep on keeping it real @theashleygraham your posts inspire me to love myself more and be happy and proud of who I am regardless of what my body looks like. THANK YOU”
Real talk, though—is 2017 going to be the year that body-shaming finally ends? Let’s hope so.
