Plus Size Hiker Fights Prejudice | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV:
A DETERMINED woman is aiming to tackle the stigma attached to plus size people and exercise – by going hiking. 33-year-old Celeste Mick from Los Angeles, California is a passionate hiker who keeps track of her adventures online. Yet, Celeste is not your average looking hiker - with her plus size frame, she is used to people doubting her hiking capabilities. And being plus size has created other challenges too; Celeste has to have her hiking jacket, backpack and rain pants customised to fit her frame. With her Instagram page ‘fatgirlforthefitsoul’, Celeste tries to break stereotypes and inspire other plus size people to exercise outdoors and not feel ashamed to do so because of their larger frames.
