Body positivity has reached new heights lately, but Ashley Graham has been fighting to be seen as a plus size model for years. Her journey from Nebraska to Sports Illustrated cover is bumpy, relatable, and honest. It's not the best memoir I've ever read, but Ashley Graham is inspiring and positive. It's a good read.

A story about loving yourself even when society tells you not to. Willowdean is a plus size girl and the daughter of a pageant queen. She lives in contrast to her mother who lives based on appearances. Will decides to enter a beauty pageant as a form of protest to the perceived perfection they target and learns a lot about herself, friendship, and family. The message of body positivity and loving yourself/embracing yourself for who you are is very heartwarming. One worth rewatching.
