Lizzo Gives a ‘Twerking’ TED Talk

Lizzo has given the ultimate TED talk, and it is nothing like any TED talk we have heard before. Lizzo shared with her audience how the dance of twerking helped her appreciate her butt more. She stated that her backside was her least favorite part of her body because she says she grew up when the world didn’t have an infatuation of bigger “derrières,” according to PEOPLE.

In her talk, Lizzo stated: “I have my father’s shape and my mother’s thighs, so it’s big and long. I used to think that only asses like J.Lo’s or Beyoncé’s could be famous. I never thought that could happen to me…I always felt like my body type wasn’t the right one, or the desirable one growing up. Because I grew up in an era where having a big ass wasn’t mainstream.”
