April Lockhart

April Lockhart born 4 July 1995. She began with guitar and piano in 7th grade which sparked her interest. The first song she wrote was called Different. She wrote it at the age of 12. At 14 years old, April was spending a lot of time writing lyrics and perfecting her musicianship abilities. Soon after she began taking trips to write with her father in NY in New York and LA. April started to incorporate other relevant topics into the"Take my Hand song for some friends, such as peer-pressure problems and suicides among teenagers. Lockhart is a partner at famous Clean Beauty brand Ilia and also is a lifestyle blogger with a huge following of her own. The disability she has is part of her identity, but it is not the whole image. As a result Lockhart's Instagram account does not shy away from her disability, but it's not focused on it either. What is the message? that we are all a part of a multitude of identities and that we're much more than our physical selves. Lockhart tells Lockhart in a video interview "I am not convinced that my physical appearance will define my character. It's not my intention to be an influencer on disabilities because I've got so much more to offer." It doesn't impact my daily life. I go about doing my job as normal and have developed my own ways to adapt. But, I consider that it is a crucial part of myself. Self-acceptance can be a marathon for a lifetime however Lockhart is an absolute inspiration on that front. She still admits having gone through phases in her life with her physique, feeling insecure at times to wear clothing that displayed her arms. Today, she wears anything she'd like. She also posts pictures on social networks. What makes self-love so appealing to her is that it's not an end destination. It's true for all regardless of levels of anxiety. I believe that it's really vital to surround yourself people who are able to see and know your true heart.
