'Same same but a little different'.
When it comes to dominant beauty narratives around women’s bodies, it can be tough to challenge our perceptions of the ideal female form. Even though we’d love to accept our imperfections, self-love is easier said than done given the pervasive images of perfect women we consume on our screens every day.is one woman who understands this catch-22.
“This gives me strength,” one follower wrote. “You don’t know how much it means to women like me to see we’re not that different and help us try to feel comfortable in our own skin. One day I wish I could do the same.” As Graham’s followers have pointed out, her photo isn’t simply relatable because she’s celebrating her evolving pregnancy body. Stretch marks - and by that token any perceived imperfection women are pressured to erase - are completely universal, perfectly normal, and certainly don’t define anyone. By proudly showcasing her natural body, Graham is reclaiming the beauty narrative, tackling the culture of body-shaming, and helping us to appreciate our differences, just the way they are.
