In this speech, the speaker used a lot of anecdote in her speech. For example:
1) I kind of want to tell you little bit more of the – I don’t want to say basics, because we don’t really know anything about my syndrome.
2) I had to deal with bullying a lot, but as I said I was raised very normally, so when I started kindergarten, I had absolutely no idea that I looked different, no clue. I couldn’t see that I looked different from other kids.
3) When I was in high school I found a video, unfortunately that somebody posted of me, labelling me the world’s ugliest woman.

What defines you? Who are you? Is it where you come from? Is it your background? Is it your friends? What is it? What defines who you are as a person? It’s taken me a very long time to figure out what defines me.
2) But then I started realizing, am I going to let the people who called me a monster, define me? Am I going to let the people who said, ‘kill it with fire, ‘define me?

3) Now I want to end with asking you again, I want you leave here and ask yourself, what defines you? But remember brave starts here.
