It's true that she was born without a left hand and that is what makes her different. It's not the only aspect that makes her unique.

That we are all multifaceted, and that our identities and physical self aren't as they seem. Lockhart speaks via video in Nashville. "I don't wish for it to dictate my existence. I don't want to only be identified as a specialist in disability. It doesn't impact my daily routine. I conduct my business as usual and have found my own methods to adjust. It's also part of me and I feel it's essential to discuss. Lockhart is a great example of how to stay moving forward with self-acceptance. Yet, she confesses that she has had periods that made her feel uncomfortable about her appearance as well as wearing clothes which displayed her arms. Nowadays, she dresses whatever she wants and posts pictures of herself in these outfits on social networks with a sense of pride. One of the keys to self-love for her is that it's not a destination. This is true for everyone, regardless of the level of insecurity. It's important to have people around you who are aware of and understand you. They will be the ones asking your: What are you fret about?
