"Honestly, I think what makes me, 'me' is my audacity." Meet Ashlyn Cherè, a model who exudes confidence. "[I'm] originally from Louisiana. My hometown was much too small and conservative for a creative with my imagination," she says. "Since I was five years old, I always craved the fast-paced and free taste of Los Angeles." Ashlyn is a certified personal trainer, too, so you can usually find her working out when she's not working or thinking up her next big project. "A lot of my free time is dedicated to fitness and yoga," she shares with us. "I have passions in so many different areas of life — reading and learning are my kinks. Fitness, creative arts, modeling, cannabinoid healing, and marketing design all scratch the surface." As for posing for Playboy, Ashlyn has been manifesting this moment for a while. "The thing I'm most proud of is how far I've come by myself," she says. "I am doing all the things I said I would do, and shooting for Playboy is one of them." While on set, Ashlyn had an awesome time. "[Shooting] was everything I hoped it would be. I was paired with a dream team of powerhouse women that helped make me look beautiful and hyped me up until I was feeling like a total rockstar," she says. For Ashlyn, this moment means so much. "How do I feel about posing nude? Confident [and] strong. I come from a town where women are taught to be small, wear more, and say less. I think by posing nude for one of the most iconic magazine publications is me speaking loudly for every woman that was ever shamed for being confident and comfortable in her sexuality."
