You just watched who has to be one of the sexiest women to model an ad. But what you didn't see was her commercial during Fox and ABC's popular shows. Reason being she has too much for prime time and much to curvy. I never understood how we can watch crime shows and acceptable to see death but when it comes to expressing sexuality it's taboo. This beautiful woman Ashley has no obvious disability like in a wheelchair, blind or an amputee but she's being treated like what Hollywood does to us.
Who are the decision makers at these meetings when they're deciding who is acceptable to watch? Is any of them plus size, disable or dark-skinned, the mostly discriminated forms in media. It seems it take more then just a pretty face, you have to be very slim, under a C-cup, six-pack abs, muscular and tall. But is everyone you see shopping in the Malls exactly like that? So you're saying we can buy it but we can't be seen promoting it.
Above are four beautiful women. Tiphany Adams, Mia Schaikewitz, Angela Rockwood-nguyen and Auti Angel. These ladies represent courage, determination and confidence. It's not easy for some people to express what most people stare at. A lot of people are very insecure about themselves and what they feel is not considered beautiful to others. Covering up their bodies, not going out and sitting in the house.
Once we break down our own insecurities and express our natural selves, who we are becomes more known in society. For every negative thing you feel happened to Ashley Graham, has put her in the media more then they tried to hide. Her expressions despite what ''THEY'' say isn't acceptable to see, her courage to go forward has made her more popular.
Courage and accepting who you are can be more powerful then any 30 second commercial. Like theese Angels we see below, Beauty: More Than Skin Deep.

Thank you
for visiting our site. Since 1987 everyday of my life is medically
related. Even during current video conferences from my bedside, I'm
constantly asked am I in a hospital. They must assume this because of
the bed I'm sleeping in and the medical supplies on top of my dresser,
they see a hospital room. When I tell them I'm paralyzed their moods
change to them feeling very sorry for me. Humanity having a bit of
compassion when the event calls for it, is good to know it still exist.
Throughout the years living with paralysis my life and the lives of
millions more may constantly have something medical happening but we are
more then medical. Although our bodies may not perform activities
according to what's normal, we've learned to adapt.
Summing up 23 years of paralysis and living life, learning to adapt and
going forward is how we invent the possibility. Through I Believe Inc,
we are working to help others within their lives and aspirations. We are
more then an everyday medical experience, we too despite our
disabilities pursue to be actors, athletes, artist, singers and what
ever we dream. Since working and partnering with Santina Muha who works
for the NSCIA, we have produced shows on New Jersey public access
television. Bringing awareness to the many lives we came across, we are
striving to continue to do more. Please help us by donating online or
sending in your donations by mail. All donations are Tax Deductible.
Thank you for coming by and if you have any questions please send.
