April Lockhart
April Lockhart born 4 July 1995. She began with guitar and piano in 7th grade which sparked her interest. In April, when she was 12 years old She composed her debut single Different. When April was 14 years old, she spent the majority of her time developing song ideas as well as perfecting the song. Then she began to take trips to write with her father in NY and LA. April also included additional topics in her track"Take my Hand. These topics were for friends that dealt with issues such as peer pressure disabilities or even teen suicidal thinking. Lockhart is an influencer in the beauty and lifestyle industry with a growing following. She works with popular brand Ilia in partnership, and is also a specialist in lifestyle. It's true that she was born without a left hand, and it is what makes her different. It's not the only thing about her. Lockhart's Instagram account doesn't ignore her disability. It also doesn't emphasize the issue. What is the message? There is more to us than just our physical self. Our identities are multifaceted and we contain many different elements. Lockhart, via video message sent from her Nashville at home, claims that I do not want this to define me. I'm much far more than just my physical self. It doesn't impact my daily life. I go about my business as usual and have developed my own methods to adjust. It's a big aspect of my existence, therefore it's important that we talk about the subject. Self-acceptance is a long marathon but Lockhart truly inspires me on that front. She still admits having gone through phases in her life with her physique, feeling uneasy in some instances to wear clothing that displayed the arms of her. Now, though she dons anything she likes and uploads photos in those outfits to social networks with a sense of pride. The journey itself is the most important thing. I'm not sure if it will be an end of self-love. The same is true for everybody regardless of level of insecurity. It's important to surround yourself with people who are able to identify and feel your heart.
