It’s a cruel world we live in as this lady
faces online bullying constantly because
of the way she looks which is none of her
fault.
26 years old Lizzie Velasquez, was born
with a rare disease that prevents her from
gaining weight and blinded one of her
eyes.
Her life changed forever when she
discovered a YouTube video tagging her
as the ‘World’s Ugliest Woman’.
Then, 17-years old, she was devastated
and broken but she somehow didn’t let
the hateful comments define her as the
video had over four million views with
many dropping hurtful disgusting
comments about Lizzie including
suggestions that she should have been
killed at birth.
But inspirational Lizzie said she managed
to turn the negative comments into
something positive.
She told Fox News:
There were thousands and
thousands of awful
comments, all along the lines
of: the world would be a better
place if I weren’t in it.
Each comment I read I felt like
someone was physically
putting their fist through the
screen and punching me.
I always knew I wanted to
show those people that they
weren’t going to define me.
I didn’t want the definition of
me that they were creating to
become my truth
.
Lizzie has now has released a
documentary to inspire others, ‘A Brave
Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez story’.
She also travels the world helping
troubled youngsters who have been
bullied for the way they look, motivating
and leading them on the right path.
