Taking to her Instagram account, Velásquez shared the disparaging comment and accompanied it with a profound message on the significance of embracing who you truly are, both in words and actions.

She wrote, “When people try to tear down your looks, show them who you truly are by your words and actions. Allowing their hateful opinions to open the door to you changing yourself physically, mentally, and/or morally in hopes of finding their “approval” is never worth it. Open that door for yourself. What you will find is needing approval from others has no place in that room with you. Sometimes the positive belief of YOURSELF is all the approval you need.”

Her inspiring words resonated with countless individuals who applauded her for showcasing the importance of kindness in our interactions with others. While some questioned why she would draw attention to the negative comment, Velásquez firmly believed that using it as a teachable moment and promoting positivity would outweigh the negativity.

This incident shed light on a profound truth: when people attempt to belittle others, it often reflects their own insecurities rather than the truth about the person they're attacking. By choosing to uplift rather than tear down, Velásquez exemplifies an incredible level of strength and resilience. Through her influential platform, she has become a beacon of hope, spreading positivity and encouragement to millions across the globe.

It is crucial for us all to recognize that behind every tweet, comment, TikTok, text, or post lies a real person with genuine emotions. She beautifully demonstrated how to treat others and didn't let pure ignorance bring her down. Instead, she channeled her energy towards helping others. We need more people just like Lizzie Velásquez.
