Wonderfully Made: HerStory Film Fundraising Page

We are raising funds to produce one of our HerStory films about an amazing woman named Lizzie Velasquez. We will be traveling to Austin, TX to produce a film featuring Lizzie's story. LIzzie is an motivation speaker (featured by TED talks) and author. She has a rare congential diseas, which among other symptoms prevents her from accumulating body fat. This condition resulted in bullying during her childhood and early youth and ultimately inspired her to take up motivational speaking. Lizzie has gained many supporters and continues to be an inspiration to all especially young women.
