Ashley Graham is an American plus size model who has been on the cover of many of the world’s leading fashion magazines. She has also appeared on television shows including Entertainment Tonight, Late Night with Jay Leno, and CBS News. Ashley originally signed with Wilhelmina Models in March of 2004 but later switched to Ford Models. Ashley Graham was featured nude in the Glamour magazine editorial, These Bodies are Beautiful at Every Size, along with six other plus size models including Jennie Runk , Kate Dillon, and Crystal Renn. In 2010, Graham appeared in a controversial Lane Bryant television commercial; the company accused major television networks ABC and Fox for unfairly restricting the number of times the ad, which featured nude plus size models, could be run.

The autobiography chronicles her experiences as a plus size model and as an advocate for body positivity. She has also given a TED Talk advocating for others to embrace self acceptance when it comes to body size issues.
