Yesterday, we (and pretty much every online fashion news outlet) covered the Ashley Graham and swimsuitsforall ad campaign helming her as the first plus-size supermodel to be featured in the pages of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition. Although she technically will be the first plus-size supermodel to be in a paid advertisement in the magazine, the model who will hold the actual title of “first” is none other than Robyn Lawley.

The size 12 beauty from Australia was chosen to be one of SI’s 2015 Rookies and she looks divine in an orange and python bikini in some hidden creek that we want to locate.

We’re slowly but surely beginning to see more body acceptance in the fashion industry and  can finally unhold our breath for more representation of all size beauties in the pages of glossy magazines, in ad campaigns, and in the sizing options from our favorite brands. Target just announced its upcoming Ava + Viv line which will be the store’s first brand solely for sizes 12 & up, and plus-size model Tess Munster just became the first size 22 woman to be signed to a major modelling agency. Robyn Lawley is paving the way for curvy girls, but she also just wants to represent for the average American woman:

“I never thought that this would happen to me, so this is a milestone,” said Lawley to TIME magazine. “When I started my career 10 years ago, I had to painfully go to castings and people would look at you and say, ‘What the hell are you doing here?’… I want to be there for the regular girls who are my size.”

Goalden Chyld Unites The Masses With New Album, ‘War Cry’

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.

The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.

The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.

“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.

He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”

Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.

War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.

Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.
