April Lockhart
April Lockhart is a born July 4 in 1995. When she was in the 7th grade, she started taking guitar lessons and piano lessons. That ignited her enthusiasm for songwriting. The first song she wrote was called Different. She wrote it at 12 years of age. At the age of 14 April was a big devotee of her time writing and practicing songs. She began writing with her dad at home in NY and LA soon after. April featured other topics in her track, Take my Hand. These topics were for friends that dealt with issues such as peer pressure and disabilities, or even teenage suicidal thinking. Lockhart has her own fan base and is an online lifestyle blogger for the renowned Ilia the Clean Beauty brand. Her birth was without a left hand and that is part of her story, but this isn't the whole truth. Lockhart's profile on Instagram doesn't cover up her disability, but it does not just focus on her disability. The message is? The message? We each contain multitudes, that our identities and physical selves are not all that they appear. It's not my intention to let that be the only thing that defines me. I don't wish to become a disability influencer in which I only speak about since there are so many other elements to me. Lockhart states in video form from her residence in Nashville. This doesn't influence my day-to-day routine. I conduct my business as usual and have developed my own methods to adjust. Since it's a an integral part of me and something worthy of talking about. Self-acceptance is a long marathon however Lockhart truly inspires me on that front. Still, she admits that she went through a series of phases regarding her appearance, feeling uneasy in some instances to wear clothing that displayed her arms. The woman now puts on whatever clothes she likes and uploads photos on Facebook in awe. For her, self-love is an extended journey. But I think that's for everyone, whatever they are struggling with. I think it's vital to surround yourself people who can see and know your true heart.
