Motivational Speaker
After Lizzie graduated from Texas State University, she became a motivational speaker. Lizzie became an inspiring anti-bullying advocate and now shares her message all over the world. When she speaks she discusses how she was bullied during her childhood and how thankful she is that her parents and loved ones instilled in her the courage and strength to be herself. Lizzie always asks, “What defines you?” and she tells how she refused to let the perceptions of other people define her.
Author
Lizzie then added “author” to her resume in 2010. She published an autobiography titled “Lizzie Beautiful: The Lizzie Velásquez Story.” The book urges people to accept and love themselves for who they are, not how they look. She published her second book “Be Beautiful, Be You” in 2013.
