Model and body activist Ashley Graham has just released her first book, a memoir entitled A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty and Power Really Look Like.

In the book, Graham shares her own deeply personal stories along with her battle with self-acceptance. It’s a candid look at how she has found success in the fashion industry without sacrificing her own self-worth.

Speaking to Vogue Graham has said:

“What I want is for fashion to just keep pushing the boundaries, then hopefully photographers and art directors and editors are going to be open to the idea of booking a curvy girl not because she’s curvy but because she’s going to be right for the story.”

A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty and Power Really Look Like is available now via Dey Street Books.
