April Lockhart

April Lockhart, born in 1995 on the 4th of July, started taking lessons on piano and guitar at seven years old. The passion for songwriting was awakened. The first song she wrote was called Different which she composed at the age of 12. At 14, April spent much time writing lyrics and perfecting her music abilities. Soon after, April started traveling with her father and to write songs in NY and LA. April included other subjects in her song"Take my Hand. These topics were meant for the friends of hers who struggled issues like peer pressure, and disabilities, or even teenage suicidal thoughts. Lockhart is a partner at the well-known cosmetics brand Ilia as well as an influencer in the lifestyle industry with a huge following of her own. The truth is that she was born without a left hand and that makes her unique. However, this isn't the only thing about her. The profile of Lockhart on Twitter does not ignore her status as disabled and does not make a point of it. It's a message. It's important to keep in mind that we all have multiple faces. Our identities vary and we're much greater than the bodies we wear. Lockhart talks through video from Nashville. "I do not wish for it to dictate my life. I don't want to only be recognized as an expert in disabilities. It doesn't impact my day-to-day life I do everything normally and I've found my own way to adjust the things. It's a big aspect of my existence, and it's imperative to discuss it. Lockhart is a great example of how to stay going with self-acceptance. Lockhart admits to having been through a few phases regarding her appearance, feeling insecure at times to wear clothes that showed the arms of her. The woman now puts on whatever clothes she wishes and shares pictures on her Facebook page with pride. What makes self-love so appealing to her is that it's not an end destination. It's true for all, no matter what their levels of anxiety. It's vital to surround yourself people who can discern and understand your heart.
