Raising a Voice
The model industry is all about perfection. Ashley certainly negates the idea with her powerful comment on her body. Her voice is surely going to make a change in people’s opinion and perception. The model industry needs to have more diversity in terms of body shapes, colours, sexuality.
She Inspires
With her bold comment, she has truly inspired many of her fellow models as well as the aspiring ones. She took advantage of her popularity to spread awareness among everybody that body shaming is an awful thing to do. Ashley’s comment will inevitably change the game in the future.
The Girl Boss
Her entire team is made up of girls, and she believes that what makes her so powerful. She said, “We’re here to own this”. This curvy model raised a very relevant issue. The model industry should be more diverse and inclusive.
Hopefully, all girls will take a cue from her and start embracing their God gifted body. Way to go girls.
