A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like | Rebecca Paley, Ashley Graham
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 thirteen. 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 Americas Next Top Model. And thats 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 womenno matter their individual body type, shape, or weight. In this collection of insightful, provocative essays illustrated with a dozen photos, Ashley shares her perspective on how ideas around body image are evolvingand how we still have work to do; the funand stressof a career in the fashion world; her life before modeling; and her path to accepting her size without limiting her dreamsdefying rigid industry standards and naysayers who told her it couldnt be done. As she talks about her successes and setbacks, Ashley offers support for every woman coming to terms with who she is, bolster her self-confidence, and motivates her to be her strongest, healthiest, and most beautiful self.

Good but it couldve been great if she narrated the whole thing herself. I felt duped when she only narrated the intro and the end.

Honestly this was a pretty easy read. I like Ashley and her overall message though. I would certainly recommend it to young women in their teens and early 20's.

Jess7 @melbeautyandbooks @sammisho and @FeastingOnFiction you may want to re stack this one to your TBR list bc I changed our the title to the correct book. The other one you stacked originally from my post listed her ghost writer first. (edited) 7y

Finally got un-lazy enough to charge and sync my kindle, so now can read books on that instead of my phone!

"We all have the same message - no matter what your size, you are beautiful - we have just been given different opportunities to share it." One of my favorite parts of this book is Ashley's willingness to call out her privilege.

So many female workplace empowerment tales start with honest discussion over treatment and salaries.
