April Lockhart

April Lockhart (born July 4 in 1995) started her musical journey at the age of 7 when she started guitar and piano classes. April Lockhart penned her first song, Different at the age 12 years old. The year she turned 14 was when she was devoted for a long period of her time writing song ideas and practicing her music. Then she began to take trips to write with her father in NY in New York and LA. April also began incorporating other relevant topics into the Take my Hand song for some acquaintances, including peer pressure disabilities and teen suicide. Lockhart is a partner at popular clean beauty brand Ilia and is also a lifestyle influencer who has a growing fan base. Her birth was without a left hand and that is part of her story, but it's hardly her whole story. Lockhart's Instagram profile doesn't cover up her disability, but it does not just focus on it. What message is it sending? The message? That we have many different aspects, that our physical and identity self aren't as they seem. Lockhart stated in a video interview that she didn't want to be defined solely by her physical disability. She does not want to become an advocate for disabled people who only speaks about it. There are a variety of aspects to Lockhart. This doesn't have any effect on my everyday life. I go about everything normally and I've found my own way to adjust the things. It's also part of me and I feel it's important to talk about. Lockhart encourages us to keep going with self-acceptance. She admits that she has been through times when she felt insecure about wearing certain clothing styles which displayed her arms. Nowadays, she can wear whatever she likes. and she shares her pictures to social networks. Self-love for her was a long journey. It's a journey, I'm not sure you'll ever get there. It's important to have people in your life who know and can relate to your situation. They'll be the ones who ask what you fret about?
