Morgan Mikenas

Morgan Mikenas is a fitness blogger known for chronicling a year of not shaving her legs in 2018. [1] Mikenas hails from Indiana.

Education

Mikenas is a graduate of Valparaiso High School.

Body Acceptance

Mikenas chose not to shave her legs in order to challenge feminine beauty standards.

After the year, she chose to keep her legs hairy.

Says Mikenas:

"I stopped shaving because it was an inconvenience.

It's pointless.

I feel like it's an act of submission to the male dominated culture we live in.

I want to mindfully make decisions for myself, and make choices that serve my purpose.

Shaving my legs makes me feel powerless.

When you make decisions for others, specifically a decision that will make others see you a certain way, a way that culture has designed as "sexy and beautiful," you lose your power."

Social Media

Morgan Miknas posts videos of herself lifting, making videos of workouts and giving fitness/dietary advice.
