Danielle Herrington is from Compton and graces the cover of the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
The 24-year-old made her debut in the magazine as a rookie last year, but saw it for the first time when supermodel Tyra Banks made a surprise visit to the publication's offices.
"I can't even believe I'm saying this. I am the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model," says Herrington.
"I can't wait for everyone to see it. I'm emotional, but I just want to say thank you to everyone who believed in me. I put in so much work for this and I'm feeling very accomplished, happy and excited."
