Autorenporträt
April Williams is a rising star in the world of poetry and an inspirational force as the cofounder of the groundbreaking April Love Foundation. This remarkable organization is dedicated to empowering differently-abled children and adults who dream of pursuing a career in the arts, offering them invaluable guidance, development, and transformative opportunities. April's personal journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Born in the enchanting town of Bad Cannstatt, Germany, she faced immense challenges from an early age. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and scoliosis at the tender age of 7, April was given a mere 18 years to live. Undeterred by this daunting prognosis, she embarked on a courageous path of resilience and determination. Over the years, April underwent an astounding fourteen surgeries, defying the odds and proving that she is a force to be reckoned with. Now, at the age of 36, she radiates vitality and an unwavering spirit to uplift others who share her journey. Though lacking formal training and facing limited access to a liberal arts education tailored for individuals with disabilities, April turned to music, finding solace and creative expression in the soulful rhythms of blues. Drawing from her deep love for this genre, she skillfully weaves its essence into her poetic creations, crafting verses that resonate with every heartbeat. Critics and admirers alike have marveled at April's unique ability to transform words into a symphony of emotions, bringing her poetry to life like a captivating dance. April's debut book, "The Bindings: The Experiences that Hold Me Together - The Girl with Cerebral Palsy," is a testament to her exceptional talent. This poignant collection of poetry, now available for order on Amazon, invites you to embark on a profoundly transformative journey. Through her evocative words, April unveils a world where you will discover newfound perspectives, perhaps unveiling a gentler, more compassionate outlook on the aspects that define your identity and your personal bindings. Each verse carries the power to connect us all, bridging the gap between disability and the vast spectrum of human experience. April's verses resonate deeply, evoking nostalgia, vivid imagery, and a sense of raw, tangible humanity. When April isn't captivating readers with her soul-stirring poetry, she calls Atlanta, Georgia home. In her leisure moments, she finds solace in the embrace of romance films, exploring the vibrant culinary scene of her city, and tirelessly crafting her next poetry book, "Just for Releasing." Immerse yourself in April Williams' world, and let her words guide you to a realm of understanding and unity. By embracing her unique perspective, we forge a profound connection to the collective spirit that unites us all-- our shared fragility and breathtaking beauty as human beings.
