For those who prefer text, an introduction to the life of Lizzie Velasquez (5'2", 60#) is in the Washington Post.
Throughout her life, her condition has made her a target for bullies, who once dubbed her the “world’s ugliest woman” on social media... Velasquez is a motivational speaker who uses her experiences to fight bullying.
How terrible for all those people to say such cruel things, and how brave that Lizzie speaks out to help others! She's my new hero(ine).
