February or as I like to say Keishuary (my birthday month) has been such an amazing month from my personal life to current events that I’ve read up on. For those of you who do not know I am from Boston and the New England Patriots winning the super bowl was one of those reasons why February was such an amazing month and let’s talk about the way they won, any sports fan regardless of how much you may dislike the Patriots or Bill Belichick knows that was one of the greatest Super Bowl games in football history. Then there was all-star weekend in NYC, which fell on my Birthday this year (February 13), which was fun. I just got a new amazing job! Went on a ski trip in Pennsylvania with some of my closest friends to celebrate Keishuary ! Best time ever by the way and if you follow me on my other social networks you can see pictures, and to top it off, plus size women like myself have been making major movements in society. I saved the best for last… This is what my blog will be about today:
Ashley Graham, for those of who may not know is a plus size model who recently posed in Sports Illustrated in a two piece bikini Yes I said it A TWO PIECE BIKINI! Now for those of you who keep up with sports illustrated most of the women in that magazine are about a size 0-6, for Ashley Graham, who is a size 14 to be issued in such a magazine probably, would have never been thought of until now. What is so amazing about Ashley Graham is that she is advocating for curvy women and having the entertainment world and magazines push the envelope on providing another image of beauty. Sports Illustrated has an annual swimsuit issue and it’s the first time ever !! That they have a curvy girl in the issue. For those of you who have been staying up to date with my blog, then you know this is exactly what I’ve been pushing for, and to actually see another Queen ( Ashley Graham) become successful in doing so, is inspiration for me to keep going and pushing forward with my QueensKnow movement. What I love about Ashley Graham the most is that she promotes fit curves in other words fitness for curvy women. I am behind that 150%! I have been an athlete for most of my life (Playing basketball all year round) my weight has always fluctuated but for the most part I have never been considered skinny. I feel as though I always felt great about myself and my body because I was always moving and working out which is important for any women regardless her size. So Ashley Graham I put you as the Queen of the Month for breaking down barriers for women like myself and for showing the world another side of beauty. #QueensKnow
