Being Labeled ‘World’s Ugliest Woman’ Changed Her Life In Surprising Ways

ADVERTISEMENT

Lizzie Velásquez was born with neonatal progeroid syndrome, a rare genetic disease affecting her heart, bones, and eyes. It also prevents her from gaining weight. Velásquez was born on March 13, 1989 in Austin, Texas.

She said she was constantly bullied growing up because of the way she looks. She admits her Roman Catholic upbringing has helped her stay strong and positive. “It’s been my rock through everything, just having the time to be alone and pray and talk to God and know that He’s there for me,” she says.
