April Lockhart

April Lockhart is a born on July 4th, 1995. As a seventh-grade student she began taking piano and guitar lessons. That ignited her enthusiasm to write songs. April Lockhart wrote her first track"Different" at twelve years old. At the age of 14, April spent much time writing lyrics and perfecting her music abilities. Then, in the following months, April began traveling with her father as well as write her songs either in NY as well as LA. April began including other topics in her book Take My Hand to help the people in her life who are struggling with peer pressure, disabilities or even suicide. Lockhart collaborates with the well-known cosmetics brand Ilia and also is a lifestyle blogger with her own growing following. Her birth was without a left hand. It's part of who she is--but this isn't the whole truth. The account on Instagram of Lockhart doesn't deny the fact that she has a disability. It also doesn't insist on her disability. It's a reminder. We are all more than the physical person we are. Our identities are multifaceted and include a myriad of aspects. Lockhart, via video messages from his Nashville home, says that I don't wish for this to define me. I'm greater than the physical person I am. This doesn't interfere with my life. It's all normal, and I've learned how to adapt. But, I consider that it is a crucial component of my life. Lockhart is a true source of inspiration for self-acceptance in general she is on a long journey to achieve this. She still admits having gone through a series of phases with her physique, feeling uneasy in some instances to wear clothing that displayed the arms of her. She now wears any outfit she wants and posts pictures on Facebook with pride. Self-love, she says, is a process. "I believe that you will ever be there," she said. However, I believe that's the case common to everyone regardless of what they are struggling with. It is essential to surround yourself with those who are able to see your.
