The most respected and idolized individuals are those who stay true to their passions and work tirelessly to make their way to the top. For Morgan Lux, success did not just fall at her feet, as she worked relentlessly to break through every obstacle on her road to success. Morgan’s efforts have established her as a prominent figure in social media today.
Lux is a 24-year-old influencer and entrepreneur from Southern California. Growing up in an unstable home, Morgan battled depression, homelessness, abuse, and bullying at school. Morgan knew it was ultimately up to herself to shape her own reality. Her positive mentality and unmatched drive are traits that helped to pave the way for her to lead a life she could only dream of at the time. Morgan graduated high school a year early to begin working in order to support an independent life on her own. She spent a short period of time in culinary arts school until she realized she wasn’t as passionate about it as she had previously thought, and later decided to pursue a full-time career in social media.
Morgan was recruited by a highly experienced social media entrepreneur by the name of Mike Smith. He later became her mentor, as he saw the potential Morgan possessed as a businesswoman. With his help, Morgan learned how to effectively market herself and how to operate and treat her social media platforms like a business. In 2017, Morgan gained verification on Twitter and hit 1 million followers on Instagram at the age of just 21; however, shortly after hitting the million-follower mark, Morgan’s Instagram page was permanently deleted. This loss would hit anyone hard, but Morgan was determined to reach that mark once again. She created a new Instagram account and began her journey to a million followers for the second time. During this attempt, Morgan was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and experienced her first manic episode. It took her months to recover, but once she did, she took the social media industry by storm. By February 14, 2020, Morgan had successfully reached 1 million followers on Instagram for the second time, an accomplishment very few achieve once and rarely ever twice.
Morgan played a substantial role in creating the first private Snapchat company that taught girls how to monetize their social media platforms, and later launched her own private website where she found herself earning a six-figure income. Since then, Morgan has expanded across multiple platforms, and with the emergence of subscription-based platforms has been able to achieve tremendous success. Aside from maintaining her powerful social media presence and running her own business, she has focused on diversifying her income and has recently begun investing in stocks. Morgan also plans to break into the television industry and debuts her reality TV career in the show “Men of West Hollywood”, which is airing in the near future.
