With Catherine Avril Morris.
Being called the World's ugliest woman didn't break Lizzie Velasquez. Instead her response has moved the world. Born with a rare genetic condition, Lizzie Velasquez always knew she was different, though not necessarily what that meant to others. Then, at 17, she came across a YouTube video of herself entitled The world's ugliest woman. It had already been viewed millions of times. Instead of hiding from the countless cruel comments, Lizzie decided to fight back on behalf of all victims of bullying, and to do it using the very medium that had spawned this hatred. With the aim of spreading positivity and compassion, Lizzie created what became one of the web's most popular ever YouTube channels. Her TEDx talk called How do you define yourself? has drawn tens of millions of viewers. In this revelatory book, Lizzie draws on her own experiences to show how we can transform our fears into empathy and kindness - for ourselves and for others.
