It would take an inventive casting director to cast Lena Nozizwe [Len-uh No-zeez-way] in the role she has taken on for this lifetime. The Emmy award-winning author and speaker was born in a tiny village in Malawi, Africa. She grew up to broadcast to millions within the global village. That's in spite of critics who told her she was too ugly and too stupid to achieve her dreams.

The original Ugly Betty is the author of the motivational book, Starring in Your Own Life: Reveal Your Hidden Star Quality and Make Your Life a Blockbuster Hit (ISBN: 0-684-87308- 7) published by Simon & Schuster.

Isn't it time you began starring in your own life?

Talented, tenacious and a bit on the beautiful side.

Jonathan Philbin Bowman [Ireland's Sunday Independent]

What a miraculous, star-studded life, Lena, you have had. Shine on.
