Ashley Graham Ervin was born October 30, 1987. She built a modeling career that culminated in her 2016 debut on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, a milestone that punctured decades of narrow industry standards. The following year she published A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like, extending her work into advocacy around body positivity and inclusion. She also moved into television presenting. The arc bent from breaking through a gate to holding it open.
