Lizzie Velásquez is a motivational speaker, activist and author.

Here’s a bit about Lizze Velasquez’s activism from The Washington Post

Velasquez and Bordo were in Washington on Tuesday, lobbying for a federal anti-bullying bill pending in Congress. They are scheduled to appear on Capitol Hill on Wednesday at a screening for lawmakers of “A Brave Heart” and to talk about the need for legislation.

“Bullying in 2015 has a whole new look,” Velasquez plans to tell lawmakers. “It doesn’t ever end. It’s 24/7.”
