In a recent YouTube video she explained that she stopped shaving because she wanted to embrace her natural beauty and encouraged others to do the same.

"It took so much of my time to just get in the shower and have to shave everything and then wash my hair and then wash my body..."
"After I just kind of let it do its thing and grow out I started thinking 'Hey this is kind of nice'. It started getting super soft."

She continued: "I want everybody to not feel ashamed of themselves... Why would I remove something that mother nature has put on our bodies and obviously intended for us to have?"
During the 12-minute video, Morgan repeatedly flashes her underarm hair to the camera.

She continued: "[Before] I would feel obligated to shave my legs to feel good and feel sexy. But not any more. My boyfriend likes it and he thinks that I look beautiful either way."
Before signing off, she also said: "I think it's unfair that people think they have to be in this culture norm. Just do whatever makes you feel good."
