FIT FOR ANY CHALLENGE

Being fit, healthy and happy doesn’t look the same on everyone, and we love to see people challenging stereotypes. Mirna Valerio is an inspiration. She’s an ultramarathon runner, author, speaker, mother, wife and teacher. Despite the racism, sexism and body shaming she has faced during her life, she remains a strong voice for body positivity and wants to inspire people to get moving. She was one of National Geographic’s 2018 Adventurers of the Year, her writing is now published in magazines, and she has been featured on several podcasts. “Instead of being ashamed of doing what you do or being what you are, I ask two important questions: Why not celebrate it? Why not be proud of the fact that the body you are in can do great things?” instagram.com/the mirnavator
