TED talk
The presenter is a Jamaican American woman suffering from vitiligo, which is a rare skin disease. Beauty isn't based on entirely physical appearance, and is biased towards certain individuals “bald head example”. Attempting to answer the question of what is beauty. Beauty should be determined by the person's physical appearance, but a great personality or certain thing does make them more appealing and vice versa. Talks about being bullied, ignored and somewhat hated because of her skin condition. She said she became the bully because she did not want to be bullied, so she befriended bullies because she thought it was the right side. And she realized that she didn't need to fit in and she would make her own side and so she believes that there is beauty in everything. Her message is “be yourself, and don't worry about what other people think. You don't need to fit in, so make your own mold.”
