Ashley Graham says building confidence is a 'daily practice.' Here are 5 ways she commits to self-love.

"You are bold, you are brilliant and you are beautiful." Those are the words that Ashley Graham used to solidify her status as the original queen of confidence when she spoke to the power of affirmations during a TEDx talk in 2018.

The plus-size model already had a crown on her head when she became the first to make appearances on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and Vogue in 2016 and 2017, respectively, as a size 16. People everywhere looked up to her for breaking barriers of what was considered the ideal body type at the time. And she was able to respond not just in her photos but also in her work as an advocate for size inclusivity.

Now she's striving to make an impact on the next generation with her new children's book, A Kid's Book About Beauty. And although she's positioning herself as a seasoned pro, she tells Yahoo Lifestyle that self-confidence is a daily practice.
