About this listen

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 13. 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, 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 - bolstering her self-confidence and motivating her to be her strongest, healthiest, and most beautiful self.

Love Ashley Graham!

It was good to hear her story. I wish she had read the book though - I think it would have had a little more punch.

I've been having this book on loop everyday.

This is the real, raw story that I've always wanted to hear from someone but everyone is too afraid to admit. to admit it's okay to have a bulge and even though I do exercise and eat in moderation, I still will never look like a Victoria secret model. thank you so much Ashley. you are saving my life.

A book that needed to be written

Shows that society is very hard on women and how we should accept ourselves more.

Overall, a good read!

I enjoyed the book, it had inspirational moments, as well as, Ashley's backstory. I was expecting the book to be something different, but I still enjoyed and would recommend to any woman.

Finally, a book I can get into!

I love books of all genres, but during this pandemic I have not been able to get into any book I start. Ashley’s book changed that and held my attention.

Thank you, Ashley for telling your story and being so real. It turns out, your book is what I needed to listen to and I love what you have accomplished. As a graphic designer working for national magazines, I am aware of the “magic” that happens during production and what alterations are made to photos. And I’m talking about the changes to the super-thin models that we’re all used to seeing.

Thanks for all your hard work and willingness to put yourself out there. You are changing the world, especially for all the little girls who are seeing more realistic figures in publications. Great book!
