Ashley Graham and her record-breaking career dominated 2016—and if her New Year's message is any indication, the model plans to kill it in 2017, too.
On New Year's Eve, Graham posted a photo to Instagram along with a superinspiring and empowering message. The pic, shot from behind, shows Graham strutting down a runway in lingerie, famous curves on full display. In the caption, the model wrote, "Walking into #2017 with boldness, excitement and confidence!! Thank you to all the people who helped me achieve so many of my goals, dreams and desires this past year! Dream big and get what you want. Happy New Year!"
Ashley Graham's New Year's message captured everything we love about her: She's gracious, but determined—and has the confidence to achieve anything she wants. If you're not sure what your New Year's resolution should be, channeling Graham's positive energy might not be a bad place to start. After all, last year, she became the first plus-size model to ever cover Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue, covered British Vogue, and even got a Barbie doll modeled after her. Clearly, she's doing something right. The model’s sassy post racked up an impressive 175,000 likes, with hundreds of fans commenting to thank her for being such a positive role model.
