We’re now in an era that everyone is being empowered, especially women. Gone are the days that womanhood comes second to men culture. Their voice is being heard more, advocacy getting more evident.
#NoShaveNotJustNovcmber
Morgan Mikenas, fitness blogger, takes women empowerment to a whole new level. While most women admitted that shaving body hair is one of their most dreaded body chores, Morgan bravely stood up to the challenge and never shaved her body hair for one year.
She probably saved up a fortune by not buying razors.
In order to promote natural beauty using her own little ways, she has gone an entire year without shaving, and the results will truly amaze you.
Embracing one’s natural beauty is still an ongoing battle. For Morgan, what important is to be just you–untouched, unmodified.
“I’m not trying to make all of humanity stop shaving their armpits and leg hair anymore, I just want to inspire others [to do] what works for you, what makes you feel the most comfortable,” she said on her YouTube channel.
When asked what inspired her to do it, she confessed that one the reasons why she decided to let all her body hair grow is bullying. She was bullied in a gym class when she was 11 or 12 for having hairy legs.
“I want everybody to not feel ashamed of themselves. I think it’s unfair that people think they have to be in this culture norm. Just do whatever makes you feel good,” she added.
Spreading the movement
With almost a million views on Youtube, she also gives updates through her Instagram account.
She strongly believes that we should embrace our body more because it will teach us how to embody our natural beauty. Kudos Morgan for this inspiring move!
