Mikka Kei has been running since childhood, and the significance of running has shifted as she’s moved, grown, and evolved through life. For Mikka Kei, running has taken different forms, but it’s been a nonnegotiable part of her life, whether she’s had to negotiate with her parents to run as a teenager in Nepal, jumped at the chance to discover the Appalachian Trail with family friends, or challenged herself in marathons and ultras. Running and the space it occupies has also seeped into Mikka Kei’s day to day life: it has become integrated into her advocacy work, community involvement, political mindfulness, and her graphic design work.
Running is something Mikka Kei considers deeply. All of this shines through in her story, which is poetic, interesting, and inspiring.
