Since entering the fashion industry, Ashley Graham has become a poster girl for body positivity—and that hasn't changed since she welcomed her first child earlier this year. The model, who is mom to nine-month-old Isaac, shared a nude image to her Instagram account over the weekend which celebrated her "big, strong, beautiful body".

Graham shared a mirror selfie, where she was posing naked, with the caption: "Nakie big girl."

In the comments section, she interacted with a fan, who said: "I hate that this is seen as 'big girl'. I see nothing but a beautiful, naturally curvy woman in all her glory... super sexy and womanly."

Graham responded with: "I hear what you're saying. But if you look at 'big' as a positive or love then you can see it like I do. I love my big strong beautiful body."
