Lizzie Velásquez – 36 Years Old – Still Inspiring Millions Every Day
Lizzie Velásquez turned the spotlight on herself in the best way possible—by becoming a global voice for kindness, confidence, and self-love. In 2013, she rocked the internet with her powerful TEDx talk, “How Do YOU Define Yourself,” proving that strength isn’t about appearances but about heart.
That moment made her a worldwide inspiration, leading to her 2015 documentary, “A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velásquez Story,” which had everyone cheering for her courage. She’s also a bestselling author, with books like “Dare to be Kind” and “Be Beautiful, Be You” motivating readers everywhere. In 2017, she even hosted “Unzipped,” a fun, feel-good show about positivity.
