Lizzie Velásquez is an American motivational speaker, activist, author, and YouTuber who had faced extreme bullying as a child due to her abnormal facial and bodily structure. This was caused by the fact that she was born with Marfanoid–progeroid–lipodystrophy syndrome, an incredibly rare non-terminal genetic disorder that prevents a person from accumulating body fat and gaining weight. This unfortunate bullying had continued into her teenage years and after she was labeled as the ‘World’s Ugliest Woman’ in a 2006 YouTube video, she had decided to take up motivational speaking as a career and thus, wage a crusade against cyber-bullying. In 2010, she had self-published her autobiography, co-authored with her mother, titled Lizzie Beautiful: The Lizzie Velásquez Story. It was released in both English and Spanish.
