When she was in high school, Lizzie Velasquez was dubbed 'The World's Ugliest Woman' in an 8-second-long YouTube video. Born with a medical condition so rare that just two other people in the world are thought to have it, Velasquez has no adipose tissue and cannot create muscle, store energy, or gain weight. She has zero percent body fat and weighs just 60 pounds. In the comments on YouTube, viewers called her 'it' and 'monster' and encouraged her to kill herself. Instead, Velasquez set four goals: To become a motivational speaker, to publish a book, to graduate college, and to build a family and a career for herself. What Motivation it Would Have taken Her to Bounce Back & Transform the Lives of Hundreds of Thousands of People Now 23 years old, she's been a motivational speaker for seven years and has given more than 200 workshops on embracing uniqueness, dealing with bullies, and overcoming obstacles. She's a senior majoring in Communications at Texas State University in San Marcos, where she lives with her best friend. Her first book, 'Lizzie Beautiful,' came out in 2010 winning the hearts of many around the world and her second, 'Be Beautiful, Be You,' was published earlier in September. In 2013, she's hoping to write her third book. Please go to YouTube to understand & feel qualities of the most beautiful human being. Wishing All The Very Best, Subhashis Banerji
