Morgan Owens Bio
Bubbly, passionate and determined are a few qualities attributed to Morgan Angelique Owens. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Morgan was raised in the ambitious, yet supportive, household of Dr. O’dell Owens and Marchelle Owens, alongside her two brothers, Christopher, and Justin.
Morgan holds a Bachelor’s degree in English/Creative Writing with a Minor in Criminology from Miami University (Oxford, Ohio). She plans to continue pursuing her MBA in Marketing and Social Media. 
In 2012, Morgan became a certified Zumba instructor. While she thought Zumba was fun, she felt there was a need in the Black community for a fitness class that had the right music, the right focus and someone who could relate. In 2014, with the advice of North Avondale Recreation Director, Blake Williams, Morgan decided to launch her own fitness class. Thus, Curvy Cardio was born.  Having struggled with weight issues all her life, Morgan is passionate about motivating others and sharing her story. “I am not a fitness expert, but I know what it takes. I’m never ashamed of my story because it may inspire others,” says Morgan. Curvy Cardio has been featured on WLWT, Issues with Jan Michelle-Kearney, Cincy Chic, The Cincinnati Herald, Fitness Blogs such as Black Women Do Workout, 1230AM, FOX19 a 2016 Bright Awards winner in Entrepreneurship and 2017 Urban League of  Greater Southwestern Ohio Affirmed Honoree. Morgan was a featured speaker at Northern Kentucky University, Sister Circle talking to young college women about turning their “stories” into “success.”  Along with teaching Curvy Cardio classes, she has her own fitness clothing line, Fashionably Fit.
Morgan has expanded her brand by offering professional and lifestyle workshops that highlight her sassy personality. Through these workshops, she encourages women to feel powerful and confident no matter where they are in their journey. The goal is to empower women to be themselves and feel that they belong even if they are wearing their pink lipstick and flaunting their sassy attitudes. In 2016, she teamed up with celebrity chef, Chef Stephani “Bambina” Shepherd-Syfax and the Cincinnati Herald Newspaper, to launch a chic new workshop, “Babes in Bizness.” Babes in Bizness is designed to be an innovative workshop series which includes a panel of local, successful entrepreneurs to coach guests in developing their own network within the community. Morgan aims to offer different workshops monthly to highlight business ethic/planning, lifestyle tips including makeup and style, and networking opportunities. 
Morgan is active in the community as a member of the Phi Psi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and serves as Technology Chair. She also serves on the Queen City Foundation Board, African American Chamber of Commerce Board and is a former board member of Black Male Initiative at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. More recently, Morgan was sought out to aid as an influencer for Proctor & Gamble as a voice for African American millennials. Morgan has also established relationships with local Universities including the University of Cincinnati to assist career driven women with navigating life after college.
Morgan is highly motivated and open to learn and grow with the help of others. She is a team player, but not opposed to working solo.  She believes you should treat everyone with respect no matter if they are the janitor or CEO. She lives by the belief, “Give a woman a good shade of lipstick and she can conquer the world.”
