Named Elizabeth Ann Velàsquez and known as “the World Ugliest Woman” … Miss Velasquez was born with a syndrome so rare only two other person in the world are known to have it and she’s a one eye blind.
Velasquez’s life changed at the age of 17 when she saw herself in a Youtube video titled “ The ugliest woman in the world” and the comments were so cruel such as “Do the world a favor and put this gun to your head” but instead of taking shelter in tears she chose to be happy and strong and realize that this syndrome is a blessing to get her into the public speaking/inspirationnal world .
“Lizzie has such an inner strength and sense of humor that anyone can relate to her, we all have difficulties in life, but nothing compared to what she has been through. Her positive attitude elevates the spirit of any person in the world”, said Sara Bordo.
“I am no defect nor am I a Halloween costume. I'm a young adult who in this photo was standing in front of 10,000 people encouraging them that they are ENOUGH! Judgments and hateful comments fade within the hour. Self-respect and self-confidence is what lasts a lifetime” Said Lizzie.
Lizzie was ,still and will always be the symbol of strength and self-confidance. She inspired people. She helped people to see beyond the body and beyond the face. She’s to me the World “Prettiest” Woman.
