Internationally-known body activist, model and entrepreneur, Ashley Graham, has joined forces with TED TV recently. She describes her journey into fashion industry stardom and the challenges she faced as a "Plus Size" model.

She doesn't leave out any gritty details, as she describes the challenging and rewarding progression toward becoming her own role model. Inspiring body confidence in the next generation, Ashley expresses the need for the universal embrace of body diversity as beauty paradigms continue to shift. Ashley is a true inspiration and we admire her honesty and confidence!

Ashley states "Over the last few years I have come to the conclusion that there is no one perfect body". We believe this is so true and we all should love ourselves no matter what shape or size.

"The fashion industry may persistently rule me as plus size, but I like to think of it as My size"
