Ashley Graham is named Maxim’s ‘World’s Sexiest Woman

While this is the crux of Graham's career at this point, she still considers it "an honor" to use her story and her platform to make change in the fashion industry. "[It] also comes with a lot of responsibility—responsibility I don’t take lightly," she continued. "It reminds me that if someone like me can be part of something that’s changing globally, we can all do it. In a lot of ways I look at myself as just a normal girl from Nebraska who just has a lot of drive and ambition, so why don’t we change the world together?"
