Ashley Graham is sending out words of encouragement for the summer.
The supermodel, 33, took to Instagram to share photos of her and other women’s body imperfections in a message to love the skin they’re in.
"As the weather gets warmer, I know a lot of people struggle with wearing less clothes and showing more skin," she wrote in the caption of the post.
The gallery of photos include women proudly showing off their bodies, including photos of stretch marks along with the words, "Beautiful. End of discussion."
"I hope these photos I've been tagged in of so many beautiful bodies motivates you to love the skin you're in," Graham continued. "Believe me when I say your body is beautiful, and I know it's easy to tell yourself the lie that you're not good enough, thin enough, sexy enough, 'flawless' enough to wear a tank top or a swimsuit, but it's hot out there and so are you."
"Don't let your mind stop you from enjoying your life to the fullest (and remember to say 'I love you' to yourself every day)!" she concluded.
Back in February, Graham spoke with WSJ Magazine about being labeled a plus-size model, People magazine reports.
"I hate that I constantly have to discuss my body, because I don't know any man that has to do that," the mother of one said at the time. "But what motivates me to continue to talk about my body is that I didn't have someone talking about their body when I was young."
Graham married film director Justin Ervin in 2010. The two welcomed their first child, Isaac, in January 2020.
