Brooklyn BookBeat
On Wednesday, May 17, supermodel body activist, and now author Ashley Graham will host a book signing at The Bookmark Shoppe in Bay Ridge. 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.
Graham has been modeling professionally since the age of 13. Discovered at a shopping mall in Nebraska, she has 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 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.”
Graham is leading a new generation of women breaking ground and demolishing stereotypes, transforming 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.
