Leave it to model and body positivity activist Ashley Graham to inspire a social media movement. On August 14, Ashley announced she and her husband Justin Ervin were pregnant with their first child in an adorable Instagram video. Shortly after, she posted the naked selfie that would shake the internet. Ashley captioned the photo, "same same but a little different."
Since then, women all over Instagram have been recreating Ashley's photo, posting naked selfies, both pregnant and not. All of them, inspired by Ashley, are opening up about their body insecurities, pregnancy journeys, and everyday struggles. Ashley has been sharing their posts on her Instagram stories. Here are a few of the fearless women that joined Graham's movement:
@Curly_stoner captioned her photo. "Picture inspired by: @ashleygraham ?? Only the Lord and my Husband really know how hard this pregnancy is for me... from having placenta previa, always being out of breath, restricted from going to the gym, mentally going through some things, and my body and mood changing completely. Although I have a child (who is 13) all of this is still so new to me. It’s been a struggle and I can’t ask for a better husband for being so understanding and supportive on everything that’s going on.???? December can’t come soon enough. I’m more then ready to meet our baby girl.??"
Another follower opened up about her eating disorder. @paradisefitnesswithcarly writes, "Same same but different - inspired by @ashleygraham. For me, it’s not my body changing due to pregnancy, it’s my body changing due to eating disorder recovery."
She goes on to say, "For most, the reality of eating disorder recovery is weight gain, it is those changes that we used to fear. For me, weight gain, stretch marks, cellulite, rolls, & dimples are all signs of strength, survival, & recovery. They use to be all the things I feared happening to my body. Today they are a celebration! Just like @ashleygraham is celebrating the little one growing inside of her."
Tagging Ashley Grahm in her photo, @Zaharadamn posted a series of naked selfies, captioning the photo,"Some will say this shouldn't be praised, obesity is not beautiful. Let me tell you my fat rolls down to my cellulite is beautiful baby ??"
Another fan, @_theycallmewhit, wrote, "I gave it to my mum, and now you giving it to me. I love every single one because it's from you and I love you.??????"
@fetchingmyfit captioned her photo, "NORMALIZE NORMAL BODIES!!!! @ashleygraham made me do it????
She continued, "I use to fantasize about being that 'one mom who got her perfect bod' back after birthing twins. Yeah.... to say the least I blossomed into an entirely different woman. I have stretch marks, I have cellulite, I have stubble under my arms, I have uneven skin tones all over my body. Stop comparing YOUR body to others, STOP thinking because she has a flat stomach and no stretch marks she’s more beautiful. Stop. YOU are YOU and that’s your superpower. Love every inch of YOU."
Cue the standing ovation!
