Ashley Graham’s naked photoshoot for V magazine
Ashley Graham is one of the most beautiful women in the world right now. But much more than that, she’s an amazing advocate for self-love and body positivity.
And her latest shoot and interview for V magazine proves that once again.
The 29 year old stripped naked for a beautiful shoot for the upcoming issue of the magazine. She also opened up about the time she nearly gave up on her dream of making it as supermodel.
"I think I hit bottom around 18. I was disgusted with myself and told my mum I was coming home.”
But Ashley’s mum was having none of it.
“She told me, 'No, you’re not, because you told me that this was what you wanted and I know you’re supposed to do this. It doesn’t matter what you think about your body, because your body is supposed to change somebody’s life.' To this day that sticks with me because I’m here today and I feel that it’s okay to have cellulite."
Ashley went on to talk in more detail about cellulite, and spoke about the important lesson her mum taught her about never being ashamed of it.

"I remember my first signs of cellulite, in middle school," she said. "I remember telling my mom, 'Isn’t it disgusting? It’s so ugly.' She pulled her pants down and said, 'Look, I have it, too.' And I was like, 'Gasp!' She looked at me, then at it, and just rolled her eyes."
"She didn’t tell me that it’s beautiful or ugly," she continued. "She just made it a nonissue. It doesn’t define my worth. If women like you and me continue to preach that, then I feel like younger girls are going to grasp it and they’re going to be like, 'Who cares!'"
We're just not sure we could love Ashley Graham any more if we tried.
