The headline of Graham’s Madame Figaro interview with Pauline Castellani resonates: Ashley Graham: "I understood that my body had power" Graham’s acquired wisdom continues:
Like many women, I struggled to love myself as I am. I took a long time to take control of my body, because of the comments of some men or agents who advised me to lose weight ... I understood that my body had a power when I learned to appropriate it to me . It's mostly about being in agreement with oneself.
