Lockhart has her own fan base and is a lifestyle blogger at the renowned Ilia the Clean Beauty brand. She was born without her left hand, and it's part of her story, but this isn't the whole truth. Because of this, her Instagram page isn't afraid to talk about her handicap, however the focus isn't on it as well. What message does it convey? We all have multiple aspects that our identities are complex and that we're much greater than the physical person we are. Lockhart, via video messages from his Nashville at home, claims that I do not want this to define me. I am far more than just my physical self. It doesn't impact my daily living. I continue to do the things I normally would and have adapted to the limitations of my disability. Because it's part of who I am and something worthy of discussion. Her journey to self-acceptance is one that will last for a long time, and she can be a role model in this regard. However, she admits having moments of feeling uneasy about her appearance as well as wearing clothes which displayed her arms. Today, she wears what she's comfortable in and post images of her outfits to social media, she is proud of herself. To her, self-love was always a lengthy journey. It's a long journey. I'm sure that you never get there. It's essential to surround yourself with people who are able to see and know your true heart.
