Ashley Graham defends her 'lumps and bumps' in body-positive post

Ashley Graham continues to promote beauty beyond size with her latest body-positive post to Instagram on Wednesday.

The plus-size model shared this close-up shot of her thighs, captioning: “I’m not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite… and you shouldn’t be either,” while vacationing in the Philippines.

“I workout. I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I’m in,” wrote the 28-year-old — attracting the support of her fans in the form of 300K likes and comments.

But not everyone is onboard with Graham’s self-love proclamation, many succumbed to shaming the Sports-Illustrated star for her post.

“Fat” one person bluntly wrote. “I love your curves but this is not pretty,” commented another. “Beyond disgusting” wrote one Instagrammer, proving just how necessary posts like these really are.

Graham is a long-time body activist. She regularly posts photos that accentuate her curves and encourages other to accept their own. Last year, she described her thighs as telling “a story of victory and courage.”

Earlier this month, the model made headlines sharing this cheeky snap.

In teaching women to truly love the skin they’re in, Graham solidifies her place as everyone’s favorite model.
