American motivational speaker and author, Lizzie Velasquez, who was cruelly labelled the ‘ugliest in the world’ has shared some hate comments she has been receiving online.
Lizzie Velasquez was dubbed the ‘World’s Ugliest Woman” in a video posted on YouTube when she was 17.
She has a rare congenital disease which among other symptoms, prevents her from accumulating body fat.
The condition resulted in bullying during her childhood and early youth.
The 28-year-old, who had done amazing job in tackling online bullying, said she decided to share the responses not because she is upset but to educate people.

**Not posting this bc I’m upset. I promise!**
Seeing responses like this is why I continue to share my story and the power of taking the high road. I’m beyond thankful for the community of people who show how simple it is to be kind and educate rather than be hateful and fight fire with fire. For sure a happy moment for me!
