Lizzie Velasquez's early life and struggle
Lizzie Velasquez has grown into a wonderful woman; however, it was not always this way. She was born with Marfanoid-progeroid-lipodystrophy syndrome, an incredibly rare congenital illness that prevented her from gaining weight and developing body fat.
Doctors initially expressed doubt that Lizzie would live a happy life. They could not fathom her being able to walk or communicate, and they had no idea how she had survived birth.
Though she was very little, Lizzie's brain, internal organs, and bones matured normally. However, She lost sight in her right eye for unknown reasons when she was 4 years old. She now has one brown eye and one blue eye because that eye became clouded and changed colour.
Although her illness differs from progeria - a progressive genetic disease that causes children to age rapidly, nevertheless, she has progeria-like facial characteristics like a small mouth, pointed nose, and aged skin. Lizzie and her family learned how to manage her disease even when they did not fully comprehend it at first.

The unique appearance of Lizzie must have been intriguing for many who knew her because, at the age of 17, a nearby Television station invited Lizzie Velasquez for an interview.
The video clip made it to YouTube, and the description reads, "The World's Ugliest Woman." The video had 4 million views when Lizzie discovered it, and there were a lot of disgusting comments about her. Lizzie was devastated, she had already experienced bullying for most of her life, but at this very moment, it felt genuinely overpowering.
Following the cyberbullying incident, Lizzie has made it her mission in life to raise awareness about cyberbullying. She has become a highly sought-after motivational speaker and has over 12 million views on one of her Ted Talk videos.
