If you don’t know who Ashley Graham is, then you must be out of the loop. She is a fashion and lingerie model, a role model for women everywhere, and a woman who just so happens to be beautifully curvy. She is also one of three beautiful women featured in the upcoming swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated.

It means “a separate and self-contained entity.” It also […]
