Identify as Beautiful as an Act of Courage & Defiance | Lizi Jackson-Barrett | TEDxUniversityofEssex

"Identifying as beautiful means so much more than being happy with your proportions and features."

Can you imagine? Feeling fearlessly beautiful, regardless of your looks? What would it take for you to actually identify as “beautiful”?

It took Lizi losing her hair to alopecia at 40 to finally stop seeking approval in other people’s perceptions of her. After three decades of body shame at last Lizi Jackson-Barrett identifies as beautiful – bald head included – and it’s a revelation everyone deserves.
Lizi Jackson-Barrett; coach, author, body positivity expert and proudly bald woman.

Lizi struggled with a lifetime of body image issues, before losing her hair at forty and learning what it truly means to love herself as she is.

She is fearlessly focused on empowering women to stop wasting energy on changing themselves, so they can finally concentrate on what makes them truly happy. Lizi helps women challenge the deeply-rooted belief that we should change to fit a narrow definition of beauty, and teach them to feel beautiful exactly as they are.

Featured in Huffpost, Marie Claire and BBC Radio, women connect with Lizi Jackson-Barrett's combination of vulnerability and humour. Through her bestselling book “How to Feel Beautiful”, and her powerful online community who she has inspired to see themselves differently; Lizi Jackson-Barrett shows women they are good enough in every way and help them find the confidence to achieve the greatness they deserve. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
