"Ashley Graham is a trailblazer who inspires every woman — and girl — to see the beauty in herself," said Lisa McKnight, general manager of Barbie.

The honor signifies Ashley's dedication to spreading the message of self-acceptance and female empowerment in both the modeling and fashion industry. She is also the latest Barbie "Shero" or female hero, joining the ranks of Misty Copeland and Zendaya.
