Ugly Is Still Beautiful

About this talk

Kelly Falardeau tells her story, and explains how it taught her that ugly is still beautiful. Kelly Falardeau is a burn survivor since the age of two-years-old on 75% of her body and constantly struggled with her self-worth and confidence. She found a way to go from near-death to success; from the ugly scar-faced girl to the Top 10 Most Powerful and Influential Speaker, Fierce Woman of the Year, an International Best-Selling Author (5x), recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and a YWCA Woman of Distinction Award. She has also travelled to Africa to help burn survivors recover from their tragic injuries and recently the documentary about her life story (Still Beautiful) launched on national TV. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
