Aly Raisman strips down for Sports Illustrated Swim shoot
Aly Raisman
Olympic gold medalist Aly Raisman has stripped down for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue.
The move comes after  Raisman  made headlines recently for presenting a powerful 13-minute testimony against Larry Nassar during which she directly told the former Olympic doctor  âYou are nothing."
âI would like to remind everyone that being a survivor is nothing to be ashamed of  and going through a hard time does not define you â  Raisman  said to SI Swim. âI hope that we can one day get to a point where everyone realizes that women do not have to be modest to be respected. We are free to draw confidence and happiness in our own way  and it is never for someone else to choose for us or to even judge us for that matter.â
âFor me  âIn Her Own Wordsâ serves as a reminder that we are all humans  we are all battling something  and it is OK to not be OK â  Raisman  said. âWe are not alone and we need each other.â
âYou lose a part of yourself when youâre abused â  Raisman  recently told People. âI lost a part of myself  and Iâm getting it back by speaking out.â
