Watch “How Do YOU Define Yourself Lizzie Velasquez at TEDxAustinWomen” on YouTube

This really really touched me when I first watched it. I am so glad I ran into it again. I never believed in the word ugly. If you believe in it, you give it power don’t you?

To call another human being ugly based on their appearance is just plain unacceptable to me. Can their behavior be ugly? Absolutely.

Beauty is everywhere you look. Sometimes you just have to look for it a little harder in some people, but it’s there. I promise you this..

This young woman is beautiful in every way and such an inspiration..
