Plus-size model Ashley Graham in a bikini is HNGN's Woman Crush Wednesday selection for June 3.
The 27-year-old is an advocate for encouraging women who are shy about their appearance to feel better about themselves.
"My goal is to give a voice to young women...who struggle to find somebody they look up to," Graham said in a recent TEDx Talk, according to a meme on her Instagram account. "For girls who struggle to look inside the mirror and say 'I love You.' For women who feel uncomfortable expressing their confidence they locked away inside themselves," Graham said in the presentation which she gave on Monday, Cosmopolitan reported.
"My first TEDx talk was a completely humbling and thrilling experience," Graham said in the post's caption. "You can watch my whole talk 'Plus Size? More Like My Size!' by clicking the link in my profile. #beautybeyondsize #iamsizesexy."
