She's not only beautiful on the outside- even moreso on the inside. What a role model she is! ❤

This made me cry ..with joy for today's young women!! I wish I had Ashley when I was a teen!!! Whole different era. I'm 61 and just this year became confident & fearless after retiring & losing 40 lbs. Been plus size my entire life, except when developed eating disorder through college & after got married (1975-1982). Then 9 miscarriages so doctors & shrinks & therapy made me realize I'd never have a child til I got mind & body healthy. Had my miracle son in 1994. I learned to live myself better late than never👍👍🤗😘 Ashley, you're changing PS just bought my first bathing suit in 25 years....my son is 24😉😉

I love this. Years ago I use to tell my second grade students that "your brain is a computer. It believes what you feed into it, so every morning you should tell it how great you are." Love, love, love this video and the idea behind it. I TOTALLY believe in this!

Ashley Graham is such an inspiration. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to grow up seeing strong, beautiful, fearless women who look like me. Seeing her gives me so much more confidence and joy in my life. Her smile is so bright and amazing. She just seems like such a genuine and warm person. And Kayla is such a little ray of sunshine! Bless them both!!!
