this is lizzy howell a viral teenage ballerina who has been shamed for her size
her entire life it's been hard just because i'm trying to do all these things in dance and
people still don't think i can do it just because of my size she's trying to raise money
to move from her small town in delaware to los angeles to pursue her dreams but she has no
money no connections and no job i have 48 hours to change all that my gut tells me i don't have
what it takes to be out here because i've been told for so long that i don't i've brought her
to los angeles and i will ask matt stefanina and dhar mann to help me convince her to stay but she
will need to overcome her greatest fears to take advantage of the biggest opportunity of her life
we are on the way to the airport to go to la and i'm really excited and kind of nervous
she's right there lizzy is only in los angeles for two days and she's afraid to leave home so
the first thing i want to do is build up her confidence with some awesome dance photos
the second i land in la i am terrified i don't really know what's going to happen i own hollywood
i own hollywood if you do it loud we'll get out of the street okay okay i own hollywood yes after
a lifetime of bullying lizzy's biggest obstacle is her own fear and self-doubt
let's go take some awesome photos all right let's start with hollywood boulevard
yeah there it is boom wait for it that's going to work one more chin up a little let them go
yeah they're filming jimmy kimmel right here and i think lizzy should be on jimmy kimmel excuse
me how would i talk to jimmy about booking an awesome dancer on his show she's a very
inspiring dancer from delaware she's here living her dreams is there a way we could get her booked
on the show her name is lizzy howell no this is a real thing the cop pushed me away but the
woman that represents jimmy kimmel she said that we should just tag him in a facebook post this is
an inspiring story come on man guys subscribe to jordan matter he's on the way to 10 million
you know what you're gonna do you didn't get in that water love my job i'm having her do
crazy things to help her get over her fear of moving to los angeles i own beverly hills
i don't like being the center of attention very often and
the whole theme of this week is me i don't really feel like i
deserve all of this i've been through a lot of things but there are people out there that have
been through so much more than i have it's hard to accept things that are good in my life just
because i'm so used to them going wrong the first big change in my life was when my mom passed and
i haven't like changed since and this is going to be a big change for me lizzy wants to be an
actress you know what you need to be an actress a head shot so let's do this on the top of hollywood
i am going to dominate the city dominate i want to hear it i'm going to dominate this city
right there right there there right there hold it right there that's good but you got yourself
a headshot woman how are you feeling about the possibility of moving here it's kind of freaking
me out i might lose all my money what's gonna happen like you see us these negatives so what
i'm trying to do here is to like show you the possibilities of what los angeles could be i'm
going to introduce lizzy to matt stefanino one of the biggest hip-hop choreographers in los angeles
if you're gonna have a dance career you need the right connections matt stephanina choreographs a
lot of tours and that's kind of what i want to do when i get out here the fact that i have the
opportunity to have a private lesson with him not just take a class with 50 other people is kind of
crazy nice i can see that the biggest hurdle right now for you is actually you i grew up in a place
that didn't necessarily support me what people need more than anything is authenticity they need
more people like you and i think that you're gonna make a really really big impact on a
lot of people if you stay true to yourself which i don't have any doubt that you will
i'm fine i'm fine it's okay to cry it is okay to cry lizzy loves teaching
dance classes and i'm hoping that can be her job in la to help with expenses you
ready for your next adventure yeah you're going to teach a class tonight at 6 30.
okay okay all right so you just post it and people will come you promise what if nobody
shows up free dance class with the one and only lizzy owl a little freaked out um i've taught
classes before but not in a big city like l.a so i'm really hoping people show up oh my god
so only two people showed up to my dance class and they were both people that i knew
it was really fun to teach but if only two people show up to my class there's no way
i'll be able to make a living off of it i need some other big break but i'm not sure
what that's going to be my gut tells me i don't have what it takes to be out here
because i've been told for so long that i don't that was a big setback for lizzy but what she
doesn't know is that i've decided to reach out to one of the biggest youtubers on the planet to help
her dhar mann dhar gets a million new subscribers every month on youtube and 500 million views
and he's actually bigger on facebook he facetimed me at 7 30 a.m this morning and told me he has a
huge surprise for lizzie do you know who you're about to meet no you are about to meet dhar mann
if he's able to put you in a video in any capacity that's going to offer huge opportunities agents
will see it producers will see it other youtube channels will see it yeah so we're about to go
in and i'm kind of nervous just because it could open a lot of doors for me hello i don't know i'll
give you a hug as well so good to meet you i've just been like consumed in your story for the
past 24 hours ever since jordan's mentioned it to me and wow such an inspiring story that you have
so this is our studio everything started on my couch we just celebrated our three year
anniversary your story resonates with me so much stories matter stories can change somebody's life
you never know who's watching a story that you can impact i feel like dhar is a very inspirational
person he's been through a lot and he uses that to push himself to inspire others i'll take you
through the apartment hallway i am overwhelmed by how big the studio is i'm standing in between
them and it's kind of hitting me that this is real and this is actually happening i'm still
not sure if i'm going to move to los angeles then we sit down and dhar was not just there to give me
a tour he gives me the biggest opportunity of my life well i definitely know the feeling of not
knowing what's next and the risks and uncertainty i mean i got to such a low place in my life where
i literally could not even afford to pay for the couch that i was sleeping on and i had to still
somehow remain hopeful and be moving forward and i know how difficult that is as soon as i started
learning more about you and hearing your personal experiences of getting bullied and people telling
you that something is not possible that you dream of doing i know what that feels like because i've
been there and so right away i responded to jordan i was like however i can be helpful
in making this happen i would love to and so i don't know if this is something that you would
be interested in i would love to tell your story as part of our channel this is a huge
life-changing opportunity for lizzy and dhar still has one more surprise left if you're interested i
would love to tell your story on our platform and i've got no doubt that we could hit that fifteen
thousand dollar gofundme goal and if we are shy of it i will personally donate that amount
to make sure this is not disgusting because you're about to cry too
thank you there's only one problem lizzy has never acted before dhar just gave me the biggest
opportunity of my life and i'm not sure if i can do it i'm leaving for delaware in the morning
and i'm not sure what's going to happen next one month later lizzy returns to the dhar mann
studios to film her big role i'm nervous i've never acted before and to have someone like dhar
write a video about me is insane to me when i walk in i meet the producer and i
am terrified of how this is going to go i don't know anybody and i'm going to have to act
for the first time ever and try to make it not suck when i heard lizzy had never had acting
lessons normally we have an actor play them all the way up till they come in on the last scene
and now she's gonna do the entire thing so i've never acted before in my life and this is my first
script and it's 24 pages long and i don't know really any of it and i'm scared that if i screw up
i'm never going to get out of delaware my life is basically over so how are you feeling about your
very first acting role nervous really nourishment yeah this is your story right so all you have to
do is be yourself you felt these feelings you went through these emotions so just tap into that and
i'm sure you're going to do amazing over three days of filming lizzy transforms from a scared
timid amateur to a confident professional actress i get judged everywhere i go
and as a result the video got 10 million views in the first week after the first day here i
was kind of like this is what i want to do for the rest of my life dar even wrote a role for me
and lizzy's story now if you wouldn't mind getting assistant an extra large and that's a wrap
lizzy conquered her fear of acting but she still has one hurdle to overcome
money i don't have housing set up i don't have insurance i don't have a car i don't have my
license there's a lot of things that i need to figure out where are you at with this i'm still
questioning if i should do it or not dar has guaranteed you up to 15 000. i'm going to
guarantee you up to 25 000. i hate you i hate you i don't hate you but i hate you right now
there's one last thing we have to deal with lizzy are you going to move to los angeles yes yes
yes yes i know los angeles is the place for me to be right now i've met people who care about me
i have professional opportunities it's time to pursue my dream and i can't wait to get started
make sure to check out the video on dhar's channel it is so good don't
forget to donate to lizzy's gofundme because we gotta move her to la boom
