In a time when beauty is defined by supermodels, success is defined by wealth, and fame is deified by how many followers you have on social media, Lizzie Velasquez asks the question how do you define yourself? Once labeled, "The Worlds Ugliest Woman," Lizzie decided to turn things around and create her own definitions of what she defines as beauty and happiness.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Doctors: Your daughter won't ever be able to talk, walk, or think
Lizzie: Graduates college, writes 3 books, becomes a motivational speaker, will probably slay a dragon in the future
Neuski Rachyr noo that’s dragon abuse
@@sha-oui hey bud, whatever youre going through it will be okay.. sending virtual hugs! i hope you are safe💖
shawi I know how you feel. Same boat.
the left and "population experts" tell us that unborn babies from poor neighbourhoods will probably become mass murderers. Today we face crisis after crisis- who will save us Lord?
Brendan. Greally doctors aren’t saying that
This woman had more confidence at 5 years old than I've ever had in my life.
Same here. She makes me feel ashamed of myself for all the times I have felt sorry for myself because of problems that, compared to what she's been through, are trivial.

Yep. That's true confidence right there.
That's normal, non confidence is something created the same way tables are, it always come from something.
caliv0608 same and she's funny. She has really good hair.
she's actually very sweet and she deserves so much love.
It's interesting to me, that visually "unattractive" people, seem to have the most beautiful souls, while some "beautiful" people have the ugliest souls. She can't exploit her beauty for selfish personal-gains. She had to beautify the only thing she had control of: her soul, and damn she did a good job. She's a truly beautiful woman!
Powerful paradigm! And true.
Micah, You are spot on. Before I read your comment, I was thinking how undeniably beautiful she is. Precious. 💕
Damn true..
Very true
Very nice comment! I really like it
she has such a pretty voice
She really does. She would be a great voice actor.
@Trần Thị Phương Linh
True! Someone should tell her. Maybe she can do tryouts.
I wish my voice would be like hers :(
she sounds like Eugenia Cooney.. coincidence ?
True! I’m so surprised listening to her the first time
no one gonna talk about her parents? they are the best i've heard of
true🖤
Yess greatness results in great person!☺️
very true..
INSPIRATIONAL LADY !!! Your brave and kind heart defines you. Thankyou 😊
Vrexo Plays yes, yes, yes, yes and yes
her voice is so calming
I showed this to my 6th grade classes and they clapped and cheered when the audience did 😭❤️ It was the sweetest thing ever. You are one awesome woman and speaker!
Your class is very respectful!
Those who called her monster are the actual monsters.
Yeah
The world is full of monsters
Yes you are right they are monster
People can be so mean and hateful ! I could never imagine being that way to another person !!!
She touched my heart. I grew up with cruelty because the right side of my face is paralyzed. As I aged I became quite beautiful to most, but still some made fun of me even as I grew older. Cruelty is not just happening to kids. I was working for a law firm. I had several surgeries that helped. Unfortunately, getting old (65) is a challenge and not so pretty, but the guys aren’t looking at me these days, they’re looking at my daughters who are beautiful and always have been. Life is hard for people who don’t look quite like you.
I admire her so much. She’s so positive and she has such a wonderful personality.
Rip english
Yes

I agree
'You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.'
She's that one friend everyone needs at their low point to make them like stand up so firm, that even a storm can't shake them. She deserves allot more and it will come to her
She makes me realized that the only problem with me is my mindset and my behavior.
Not my outer appereance.
Same. But society is to be blamed too, some A#$holes really judge people based on appearance, the herd defines certain standards of beauty and attractive people are always treated better..
World sucks.. but yeah its amazing to have some will power like hers.
I was thinking that until I realized I could blame my parents for everything
@@cupcakee22 so true. I am naturally extremely skinny and through my entire school years I have always been left out moreover, school teachers would not choose me for annual concerts and other functions even though I was much better in dance than them. Idk why people judge a book by its cover our appearances are gifted and I would change nothing about it even though I might not be the prettiest of all!
Absolutely true.
That‘s it.
Lizzie is an angel that came to earth to teach people how to love different people
Pavlina Efth she so is

Tru tru
shes really pretty for real not just her face, her personality and soul
This is the definition of real POWER of positive fighting spirit 🔥
Hats off to her parents. They are the absolute best!
parents are always better than best
She's probably the smartest person I've seen on youtube. Not for her education but for her mindset.
@aexeashya I need it to
She is an absolute delight! Funny, enthusiastic, passionate, and an inspiration! Bless her!
I can only speak for myself, if you find yourself depressed or feeling sorry for yourself just one video of Liz and others in somewhat similar situations and knowing they would trade lives in a heart beat will make you rise above your own expectations
I love her soul. She is so lovely.
Yeah she is. It is amazing what people assume about those who look or are born with abnormalities. Just about every time we have a success story someone makes those assumptions.
she looks like a fucking twig
+INF xKingsPaladin that was fucking rude and disrespectful. I'm sure she's prettier than u bitch
+Natalie tIala fuck u. y'all don't have heart
thats what you see, omg
In life I've learned, there is nothing more beautiful than a beautiful soul.
Marlana Ferro, your message is marvelous and powerful
You say a great Truth
All the Best to you and for every Real Human being like you
@@libertysoulfreedom Thank you ❤
Amen!
Absolutely correct 👍
Completely true! She is beautiful… beauty doesn’t lie withins ones face but within ones heart… she has taught us a lesson… there are tons of lessons to learn from her!!
Honestly she’s so extremely strong
My last name is Velasquez, as you can see. If I hadn't searched "Velasquez" out of curiosity on RUclips 7 years ago, if I hadn't clicked on this video, I wouldn't be here. All my life, I've felt like I didn't belong in my own skin, I've cried to my mom asking why I was born since I was 6 because people couldn't and can't stop asking why I was "always sick or half-dead". I'm just a girl, but because of my dark circles, my bone structure and my skin, I have been called names by everyone including close friends, family, everyone. I have tried so much to improve my outer appearance that I started purposefully tangling my hair and not sleeping when I was 10. I would've harmed myself, I would've destroyed myself from the inside if it wasn't for that video. Lizzie's words, work and heart touched me in a place so deep that everytime I rewatch that video I cry, not because I'm sad, but because I'm so, so grateful to share a name with her, because I share feelings with her and, somewhat, I share stories with her. We might not be what society expects of us, I might be "that one girl" for the people passing me in the street. But we have strength. She is one of the strongest people I've seen, a warrior, one of the strongest people I wish I could meet, and the strongest person to grant me strength to push through my own hardship. Thank you Lizzie, I wish you as much happiness as you've given me, even if you don't know
The more she talked, the more beautiful she became. How limited are we human beings! we really need so many videos like these to learn how to deeply grow.
Beautiful comment❣️
agree!
Or you could just learn to treat all people with dignity and compassion even before understanding them
Damn!
@@MinaSpears so hello everyone ? Hows it going?
her voice is so pretty
That's what I thought to
it is... no really no joke it sounds soothing af
I think as a human being, she is empathetic, beautiful and intelligent.
Any person would be lucky to spend ANY amount of time in her company.
Just saying
She def has a great cadence to her voice...its very soothing and very smooth voice
EXACTLY
I bet all her bullies are regretting their life choices right about now.
I absolutely love your speech!!! Keep fighting and pushing forward!! And you really do have great hair, I'm jealous lol.
The fact that people labelled this gorgeous human as the 'ugliest woman alive'
she's incredible ffs....
She has the most beautiful, positive, radiating soul!
IdkWhatImDoing who said that??
She's quite a level headed person for receiving the insult and yet being able to speak in front of an audience. shows that people can hurl insults but shes not shallow enough to let that weigh her down
Ronnie Alvarez smh
Let's not bs ourselves, shes not gorgeous..i hate when people do this in an attempt to look like they're a good person...she isn't gorgeous let's not lie, but that's not all she's worth, she has a beautiful mind and soul and you should respect her for that rather than trying to look like the good guy smh
those mean people that bullied her cannot escape karma. She is a very strong person. God bless her.
Bully people are just need to wear specksaver glasses.. and those bully people are just jealous of that beautiful girl.. she is beautiful and very strong powerful beautiful soul..
There's no karma, and god had nothing to do with this. It was god (if exists) that gave her that disease (isn't him the one who decides everything?). It was her family and her power will that did the job.
God did that to her otherwise he made no plan and the bible is false which makes Christianity also false.
Her being successful is karma enough
@HalfAnon Those parents are the role model for YOU if you are to become a parent. You don't need a child with her syndrom to learn from her. ㅠㅠ
I just love this woman. Her energy, her gracious mindset- her determination and self awareness to be all that she could be while manifesting contentment in the process. I wish you all the best as you embark on what sparks joy and being an inspiration to people and the world. 🙏🏼 ❤
I used their negativity to light up my life to keep going. It’s changed everything Lissie.
She was never a princess who needed saving but was a queen who defended and built her EMPIRE.
Ooohhhh this comment! ❤️
Well said♡...
Not incorrect. Its correct
if the only thing you have to say after watching this is “wow she’s so pretty”… you’ve missed the point. please ask yourself why you’re focusing on her outer appearance instead of her accomplishments, her perseverance, her positivity, and her amazing work ethic. i’m not saying this to be rude, but we really need to stop placing people’s entire value in their outer appearance.
spot on ailin thank you
You absolutely right
I was looking for that kind of comment. She has done a lot more to appreciate other than her appearance.
She do have great hair tho, no problem with pointing that out she said it herself lol
@@TheMilkyWayGalaxy--he-they-it Yeah ofc people can mention things they like about her appearance, but going down to the comments section and seeing that the majority of them focuses on her looks instead of her inspirational talk makes me question if those people got the video's point.
Hi Lizzie Velasquez today is April 30 2023 the first time I watched your video . Thank you to your parents that they didn't listen to what ever the doctors were talking about. Thank you for been strong and brave for not letting no one or anything stop you from accomplish your gold in life. God always works in mysterious ways. You have me in tear's. I know in my heart everyone watch your video we all learn something from you. Continue keep your head up and go after your dreams. I'm very very proud of you sweetheart. God bless you and your family 🙏🏾🙏🏾🌟🌟♥️
She is so beautiful but It doesn't matter what she looks like, she is the most beautiful person in the world on the inside! She has a beautiful soul!
I met her in person, at a youth conference. She is amazing.
Lucky you....I want to meet her too
You are so lucky
I had her for high school she was amazing
You are so lucky 😇😇
😀
I still can't believe that people told her to kill herself just because of her apparence. She's a brave, fun, humble woman, and all they see is that???? Like, what? I'm disgusted.
The person who told her to kill herself was a schizophrenic disorders.
I have schizophrenia plus I was a skinny woman who had to deal with spoiled brats like you. Keep your bigotry to yourself. You have no place as being human
@@laurieberry4814 really, so far I think a schizophrenic person is always cause detriment to society. Excuse me if I was wrong in conceiving this ailment coz I found it from reading. Anyway sorry if my comment caused you disappointment coz normally I always try not to cause any pain in anybody physical or mental as I believe in healthy society by following the rules and laws of the society itself🙏🙏🙏
@@misterxyz5958 I'm sorry, do you actually know what schizophrenia means? Why do you think it causes detriment to society or why would someone schizophrenic tell Lizzie to kill herself? Schizophrenia doesn't equal criminality or aggressiveness even though it might occasionally cause it. It's the same with psychopathy and other changes in mentality.
@@loltadynicneni913 maybe (S)he meant psychotic? let's give him/her
the benefit of a doubt!
Kids are cruel, no matter where you grow up or what is wrong (or right) about you -- your color, religion, size, whatever -- there's always gonna be someone to bully and shame you. Kudos to you for making lemons into lemonade AND writing about it. You're an inspiration!
Inner beauty is the most radiant beauty of all ..
I really hate how people can be mistreated because of the things they can't change
She unique
Yes. Even if they could change, they may not want to.
Hope do you feel about anyone wearing a mask?
I'm folks am here to spread a wonderful messages....I have live with (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) disease for the past one years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and i have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS) by this Man Dr balwa and she also gave the email address: drbalwa90herbalcare@gmail.com of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so i wrote to Dr. Balwa telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that i was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over me as the doctor assured me that i have cured,after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if i have be finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advise is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email:: drbalwa90herbalcare@mail.com or whatsApp his number on .+2349052779642

What do you mean by "even more"? Are you suggesting that she has aesthetic appeal, and moreso are you suggesting that she is physically attractive?
This girl is a legend. Truly a winner in life.
I am in awe of her, and all spectacular spirits like her who embrace their natural, unique differences, who do not allow themselves to be weakened by anyone, who do not subject their bodies to the trauma of plastic surgery, they are just real, so real, there’s nothing more inspiring to me.
I keep forgetting how cruel the world is to anyone who is different.
The fact that everyone is different make it worse🤔
No matter how you look, everyone Is cruel to everyone no matter what.
Everyone is different tho

Give me a brake. Would you take her to Walmart
yeah but ill be afraid to hurt her by any touch she seems so physically fragile 🥺
You are such an inspiration Lizzie...! God Bless you..! Thank you!
I have to say, this brought tears to my eyes, especially when she started talking about her parents. She has the upmost respect from me.

What is her syndrome? Lipodostrohpy brought me here.
Lizzie is the epitome of beauty AND a refreshing example of a 'genuine' person...inside & out!. In our society today, particularly as portrayed by the media, it's all about appearances. Lizzie goes WELL beyond that shallow way of thinking. God Bless you and enjoy your life and continue your wonderful insight, Lizzie!!
Lizzie Velasquez is an inspiration. I see nothing but the beauty of her soul. A credit to the parents who committed themselves to love her unconditionally and instil in their daughter a strong sense of identity and the determination to make the most of life and succeed.

thanks for the replay fam.
This video randomly came up in the channel feed, and I am very glad it did. Powerful stuff. Wishing this special lady all the best.
A big hug and kiss for you, brilliant being.
At first, when I saw her, I thought: "She's so weak, so fragile, is she able to stand there alone for 5 minutes?" Then she raised her voice, made me redefine "What strength is, where it comes from". She is the strongest women I've ever known, because of her heart, her mindset, her sense of humor and yes, her existence makes this world a better place. Hats off to her thousand times ❤
So beautiful what you said :) So true :) Lizzie is amazing
So I’m really late to this woman’s story, but I think that the universe was just saving this for when I really needed it. That time is now, and I am so grateful to Lizzie for doing this. Thank you so much!! What a beautiful woman with a message that the world needs badly.
Her inner beauty has touched million of people across the globe. She is such such a kind soul with fine abilities.
Yes she did touched the whole globe with her beautiful soul and sweet heart

Just found your documentary on Tubi. I subscribed, because you are so incredibly confident and powerful. You are inspiring people all over the world!!! Blessings to you and your amazing family.
She is so wholesome and sounds like she can stand the test of time. What an incredible woman ❤
I'm crying because her positivity is so genuine and beautiful. I'm crying because I feel like I've been so ungrateful and complaining unnecessarily that I'm unable to see the value of the things I already have. I'm crying because of how strong she is and if more people carried even an ounce of her strength, I truly believe that the world would be so much better.
I agree, but its also human nature to complain unnecessairly. I've done the same thing. I bet lizzy has done it too. All we can do as humans is try are very best to be as strong as we can be.
Reading what you wrote makes you pretty special and strong too. So stop crying and pass it on, this is how our country and world should be like.
Ann Legaspi your wrong
If all parents were like hers, the world would be a different place. What a fantastic video.
Like srsly. Parents play a big role in mental health of a person. If my parents didn't focus too much on my appearance, I might've had a but more confidence in myself. Cuz these days, whenever I'm talking to someone, I think "is my double chin showing up?" Or "am I looking weird?". And this all started ever since my mother and siblings started calling me names whenever they were angry. They might've vented off their anger for the time but they made me feel miserable and I can't forget little thing like that. I wish I was mentally strong like this girl (I admire her so much). Tho I'm trying to change but it's really hard...
Absolutely true!

Thank you LIzzie. I needed your words today. Congrats on school and your THIRD book. Such huge things to accomplish at any age, never mind so young. Keep talking. We will keep listening. You are saving lives.
Thank you Lizzie for your motivational speech! It made me cry because I had similar experiences in my environment. I stay positive no matter how much I feel crushed down, never give up and keep moving on as if it never rained rocks in my life. Congratulations on your success in reaching your goals.
She's absolutely amazing! I truly wish I had her strength. If everyone had such a big heart and was as positive as she is Earth would be a much more beautiful place to live.
Her attitude is amazing, if just more people would be like her!

see the thing is, none of us were ever self conscious until people pointed out our flaws. be careful what you tell people because it can stick with them forever.
The ACE Army so true 😢
so true
And maybe make them stronger... but still we should all be respectful
So true... and sometimes it’s by my family. I know they just joke and families are supposed to be real but they always point out my flaws, my appearance, and it makes me feel so bad but they don’t acknowledge that...
This is so true, wow if everyone did this no one would hurt so much on the inside.
i just can’t imagine how powerful she is to get through all of those things and be the person she is now. How can? so so so soooooooo respect
she is soooo cute! i smiled and cried a lot throughout this video- she is so moving and wonderful. really grateful that she was willing to share her experience and motivate so many people.
Beautiful soul, her existence makes this world a better place.
Yes true
I got more from her talk in 13 min than I've ever had with my therapist for almost 2 yrs. And...
yes, girls' hair is on fleek.
My therapist even can’t talk like that
Okay but Frl, I’m gonna need a hair care routine.
your therapist would be out of job if he/she talks like this to you. how would your therapist survive if you are in good condition?
Yeah, but really, fire your therapist. It takes a while and sometimes it gets really frustrating but good ones are out there. I'm almost 40 and have just now found a good therapist and a diagnosis that actually fits.
Ikr her hair is just 👌✨✨
very well said lizzie. watching this i had a lot of realization. you taught me how to define myself abd figured it out as quickly as it is. you are ab elonquent speaker i am so grateful for sharing your story with us. your story must be heard around the globe. i wish i could hug you and says "you're the prettiest person in the world'

Lizzie sent you so much love, you are amazing.
Thank you for doing everything possible so that I could see you on the internet, you filled me with inspiration and power.
Lizzie, you emotional strength is really admirable.
Incredible woman. People who have suffered greatly often make the best motivational speakers (and world changers).
Those are the only people to listen to..the ones who walked the walk..anything else..dismissed.

Ooh my the sweetest talk I've seen today
I love her energy, such a free-spirited person doing her unique purpose .
This talk challenged the way I think about people with disabilities and even about myself and my fear of being looked on unfavorably by people and I'm grateful. It was a great talk!
I'm not even going to hide or lie about it, few years ago a friend send me a picture of Lizzie and he asked what I thought of her. I tolded him that she's disgusting. I now realize she isn't disgusting, she has an awesome personality and a precious heart! I shouldn't judge a book by its cover. And Lizzie if you are reading this, I want to apologize for my action and I hope everything goes well for you!
+Mika K. Yeah I feel bad because I know that if I had been in her kindergarten class I probably would have been mean to her and had I seen the video in high school I would have made fun of her. This is why I watch videos like this, they challenge me to be a better human being.
+bballfreak for real. I have seen a video with her as the world's ugliest woman. but her personality is beautiful. shes super successful and I'm happy for her
I'm glad you all changed and realize that its cruel to judge people on appearances. It takes strength to admit that.

This talk is so inspiring! Simple but so malaman, this is my favorite Ted talk so far..
This is the best video of TED talks I've ever watched. I am so lucky to have found this.
She just kicked the butt of every one of those assholes who bullied her. Her soul is beautiful.
She is the most beautiful woman in the world.
I TOTALLY AGREE
Yes!!!
amen
I know , right ? She’s just such a sweetheart . I would love to be her friend .
I’m soo proud of you. Continue to shine your light. You are brave and amazing.
her strength is so transferable and inspiring. What a brave soul her speech is helping so many when we open up we help each other for humanity.
Bro she is so pretty, not only her looks, but overall she is beautiful. Her personailty, her strengths, HER. Its rlly admirable.
Ikr when I first randomly came across a photo of her I was frightened ngl. But now I’m just so, so in love
hi
Realmente ela é admirável, esse mundo está muito difícil pra todos . Mas se formos fortes como ela é, venceremos tb.
Pretty look ?
Stop the cap
*STRENGTH* in human form
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. If she's so strong can she she lift a 30 pound dumbbell? No😂😂😂
There's big difference in mental and physical strength.

Ryan Negrete That really wasn't funny. Btw, nice profile pic. Air Force, huh? My grandfathers are shaking their heads right now at this. I think they would say, "She is strong in ways that matter most.
Fly high, or stay grounded."
she is so beautiful and positive. ive never seen someone with so much spunk and confidence.
Completely fell in love with you Lizzie, your strength, your humor, your confidence.. I will never forget your face or your words, thank you
I was listening to the video, not watching it. It was an autoplay while I was doing my chores...first, her voice, then her sense of humour, then her message went straight to my heart...then I reached out to pick up my phone and saw...a lioness in a kitten, a ray of light in a broken lamp, a promise of heaven in the darkness...Thank you, Lizzie! God bless you!
I love this comment so much! You should have WAY more likes. I'm hoping the childish & superficial comments are from pre-teen/teens who have no idea what it means to be a kind person.
Mary Kelly I really hope that they are four-year-olds who don’t know what they’re talking about. I’m a teenager and I would be disgusted if any of my friends said a word against this amazing woman.
Same here. I'm only 15 and even I understand what an amazing person Lizzie is. If any of my friends or peers said anything negative about her purely because of her appearance, I would ditch them. Judge a person on their actions, not their appearance. Most teenagers know this.
