Ashley Graham is one of the most relatable models and public figures out there. After becoming the first-ever plus-size model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, she has made it her mission to spread the body positivity message. And since Graham is keeping it real in every aspect of her life, she also held nothing back throughout her pregnancies, showing what it really takes to be a mom.
Being a mom to a boy and 2 twins, Graham is spreading a message that every mom has a right to choose whether breastfeeding is right for them, regardless of society’s expectations.
In a recent interview, Graham got candid about the consequences of being pregnant that every woman goes through but prefers to not be too vocal about. The model said she also considered keeping some things to herself, admitting, “Especially with how your body is changing when you’re pregnant, and stretchmarks, and the saggy skin, formula, breastfeeding. Cause there’s also this whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child.”
Ashley proceeded to explain her experience with breastfeeding: “With my first kid, I was like, ’I can only breastfeed! This is the right way!’ Then I had the twins, and I was like, ’I’m not doing this. This is not working here. Both of you want both of these? This is a lot of work.’ So I stopped breastfeeding when they were 5 months, and I gave them the best formula that I could find… And these little guys are so strong and so happy.”
Ultimately, Graham believes it’s up to every mom to decide between formula or breastfeeding based on their personal experience. She drove her point home, saying, “I don’t think we should be telling people how we should be feeding our kids.”
The model then became even more relatable, sharing her physical struggles after giving birth. She said, “Your body just fills up with nutrition, and the baby sucks it out of you. And then the baby comes out and all of a sudden you’re just fully depleted of everything, so your hair falls out, you get acne, I mean, the weight doesn’t come off.”
Graham explained her candidness, saying, “I like to represent myself as someone who’s just happy with who I am. And I had a journey, like, it is a journey, body confidence, being okay with who you are is a journey… I don’t ever want to lie.” And we’re all grateful for the model sharing her experiences with us, as it makes mothers around the world feel seen and heard.

Elon Musk with an unexpected statement that the public will surely appreciate. What he said…
Elon Musk is totally up for a position that the American people will undoubtedly adore, making them a potentially annoying pair.
Elon Musk has responded favorably to the notion that, should the Republicans win the upcoming elections in November, he would offer him a position in the White House.
In a Monday interview with Reuters, the former president said he would be willing to have Musk join him in an advising or ministerial role should he win the election. “He is really intelligent. I would certainly consider it if he is willing to take on the responsibility. He’s a very intelligent man,” Trump said.
Elon Musk, the owner of the social media site X, which was once known as Twitter, replied brief on the site, saying, “I am willing to serve.” This succinct but unambiguous communication indicates Musk’s willingness to consider joining the Trump team.
Musk turning into a fierce defender of conservative rights and free speech
Additionally, Musk posted a picture of himself behind a podium that read “Department Of Government Efficiency” and “D.O.G.E.”
Musk’s impact is evident in this allusion to Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency that was first invented as a joke. With his well-known marketing, Musk significantly increased Dogecoin’s worth before its value crashed and many investors suffered losses.
Elon Musk has discovered that conservatism is his ideal. He claimed that although he had never really wanted to serve the public, things are now different. He has been outspoken in his criticism of actor Robert De Niro and has professed adoration for the Lord Jesus Christ, believing that Christianity is essential to the survival of the West.
The public will undoubtedly appreciate Musk’s readiness to serve the American people now that he has been on such a roll.
