Ashley Graham reveals on talk show that she takes pride her curvy body is ‘starting a conversation’

Ashley Graham revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday that she takes pride in the fact that her body has been ‘starting a conversation’.

The 32-year-old curvaceous model has been campaigning for body positivity for many years, and has said she is happy to see that her own curves are encouraging other people to ‘celebrate women of all shapes’.

‘It’s about damn time my body is starting a conversation, I think we should be celebrating women of all shapes, ages and races. Whatever they identify as, I think that this is something that’s really important,’ she told guest host Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss.

‘If my curves are going to start a conversation, let’s keep it positive and let’s let every other woman celebrate herself and her body. That’s exactly what we should be doing, celebrate women for who they are.’

Ashley also has been an advocate for the Black Lives Matter movement, and said she and her husband, Justin Ervin, have been discussing the best ways to teach their nine-month-old son Isaac about equality when he’s older.

During an appearance on the talk show, Ashley added: ‘This is a time to not shy away from this, this is a time to have deep conversations about discrimination and racism in America.

‘Our children need to know what’s happening, they need to know the facts, because if they’re going out on the street and they’re not armed with the proper information, we don’t know what’s going to happen.’
