Wall

Mckenzie Mann

Mckenzie Mann is seventeen years old and lives in Oswego, Illinois. She loves to run, read books, and listen to indie music. She also loves to spend time with her family and their black lab Finn.

She writes about family, running, body image, and anything that brings her joy. “Wall” and “uneatable” focus on her struggles with body image in a beauty-obsessed world.
