Graham has long been an advocate for body positivity. She specifically requested that Mattel make sure her Barbie’s thighs were touching, in hopes that it will help encourage body acceptance among young girls

“Now every girl does look like Barbie. It’s not an unattainable thing. Now, they can say, ‘That’s my Barbie. I look like that one.”

Come on @Barbie, let’s go party!!! 💗Thank you to my new and incredible @Mattel family for this honor! #beautybeyondsize #barbie #curvybarbie
