"I don't want it to define my personal life. I do not want to be merely recognized as an expert in disabilities. The fact that she is a disability influencer doesn't impact my daily life. Everything is normal and I've learned to adjust. However, I also consider it to be a vital part of myself. Lockhart who is an inspiration for self-acceptance in general, is on a long process to attain this. She has been through times when she felt uncomfortable in the way she dressed and displayed her arms. Now she wears whatever outfit she wants and posts pictures on Facebook with pride.

It's important to have people that know and can relate to your situation. They'll be the ones asking you: What do you fret about?
