in a small city in turkey we found the
tallest woman in the world
she's so tall that a normal door is too
short a normal car is too small and a
normal person is tiny in front of her
who is she how did she get so tall and
how does she fit in an airplane my nasty
my name is remain sayadi and i am
the tallest woman in the world
lumesa is a staggering 2 meters 15
centimeters that's like two people
stacked on top of each other to reach
her height
she also has the biggest hands in the
world for a woman
they're so big that an ipad looks like
an iphone on her hand everything in her
house from her clothes to her shoes to
her bed are custom made for her
because of it she got not one
not two but five guinness world records
you are
officially
amazing
but it's not as fun as it looks when
remesa was a baby she was diagnosed with
weaver's syndrome it's a rare syndrome
which makes your body grow super tall
super fast
by the age of seven she was already
taller than her mom and dad it is a very
random genetic mutation
no one else in my family has this
syndrome
it wasn't passed from someone she is the
first person in turkey to have this
syndrome and one of only 50 in the
entire world
[Music]
this syndrome also makes her muscles
weak and causes a curve in her spine so
she can't stand for longer than 30
minutes and has to move around in this
wheelchair
[Music]
because of this she couldn't go to
school so she was homeschooled she can't
even travel in a car so she moves around
in this van where she lays down on a
mattress in the back
and she's never ever been on an airplane
you would think all of this would make
roumaisa sad but she still has a big
smile on her face
there is more to me than my height
i'm a 25 year old woman
with goals and dreams just like you
i love watching movies
doing my nails all these things instead
of feeling ashamed remesa felt super
special about her height
before i got the warrior cards for
tallest women
i was the tallest teenage girl i also
recently got the world record for
longest fingers
largest hands
longest bag for a building she became
super famous in her city and the world
for her awards and she uses her fame as
an opportunity to educate millions of
people about weaver's syndrome
i am also working as a freelance web
developer right now i have two
certifications
and studying to get my turnpoint from
harvard university and this year for the
first time ever she will be flying on an
airplane i am super excited and happy
i have never been on a plane before i
can't wait to see the world from that
high every one of us is born different
we all have something about us that
makes us feel insecure afraid of being
judged and not accepted by others ramesa
may be from a small town but she is a
big inspiration to all of us
my message to the world would be
please be kind and respectful to others
and never forget
we can choose us to look at and respond
to things
we can choose to see something as a
trouble or as a gift
this is just up to us
[Applause]
