Ashley Graham just shared a gorgeous photo of her legs to encourage body positivity

Model Ashley Graham is encouraging her fans to love their bodies exactly as they are with a gorgeous new Instagram post that celebrates her legs. The post features three beautiful images of Graham rocking a sexy one-piece swimsuit and proudly flaunting her thighs—which just so happen to have cellulite. "Someone once told me my thighs were 'cellulite city,'" she wrote in the post's caption. "But I now realize these thighs tell a story of victory and courage. I will not let others dictate what they think my body should look like for their own comfort, and neither should you." Preach, girl.

This is far from the first time Graham has encouraged others to embrace their bodies. She's made a habit of regularly speaking out in favor of body positivity, and if followers' responses are any indication, her words are having a major impact. Just a few weeks ago, Graham posted another candid Instagram shot of her thighs to remind fans that cellulite is completely normal, and the response she received was incredibly moving. Comments poured in from followers around the world, thanking Graham for keeping it real.

Graham seems all too happy to serve as a role model, and doesn't intend to stop sharing her powerful message anytime soon. "The best thing about [my success] in the last couple years has been all of the emails, and comments, from young girls and also older women who say thank you," she recently told Vogue. "They were like me. They never had a role model growing up that looked like them." Luckily, Graham is here to fill that void now, and to stand up for bodies of all shapes and sizes. Get it, girl.
