Today we’d like to introduce you to April Buckley-Moore.
Hi April, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
April’s Corner was really started when I turned 28 years old. I had just come into loving myself truly and living in the fact that I could be fearless. It was just initially an internal campaign that helped provide me with comfort, stability, and love that I had lacked for years. I wanted to make a conscious effort to live as if “the glass was half full” all of the time. I changed my mindset, got more grounded in God, and really started to move towards my goals. I had started just dropping little motivational videos here and there just to help me get through. Then I realized I was getting some positive feedback from my followers as to how they needed to hear these messages as well. As time went on, I started to fall in love with my body and that self-confidence really helped me to embrace fashion again. Before you know it, I had all of these cute clothes and bathing suits and bags and shoes just piling up in my closet. That’s when I made the decision around December of 2020 to start a YouTube channel to help showcase a sense of confidence for the everyday person like me. I wanted to use whatever platform I had to really show that no matter where you are in life it’s beautiful, and so are you. April’s Corner is a beauty, health, and lifestyle brand that is helping people love the world through my eyes.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road hasn’t always been smooth because when you are embarking on new journeys, there will be many lessons to learn. Some of the struggles along the way were just trying to find the motivation to keep going. I got really stagnant during the pandemic because of just suffering from dealing with so many changes. Anxiety during this time was at an all-time high so I focused more on just trying to live every day. Another struggle was not doubting myself. It is very easy in this genre of work to adapt to a mentality that you cannot do something because you see 50 other people doing the same thing. I had to retrain my way of thinking by just letting myself know that there might be 50 other people doing what I am doing however they are not me and what I bring to the table is just as much needed as any other work out there.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a content creator, blogger, brand ambassador, and motivational speaker and I am known for my motivational videos. I specialize in lifestyle, beauty, and health and have a YouTube channel on all of these things. What I am most proud of when it comes to my brand is that it is teaching people of all ages and sizes that nothing is impossible as long as you believe in yourself. I believe what sets me apart from others is that my brand is built on providing familiarity amongst my supporters and I. When you come to April’s Corner, you will literally feel at home. I want my supporters to connect with the fact that I am just your everyday girl trying to figure it out just like them. I am the friend you never knew you needed but you are truly glad to have.
How do you think about happiness?
My happiness is rooted in helping others discover their potential and happiness. For me, I think it is a beautiful thing to see people be motivated to live their truth based on the truth they see me live every day. My happiness also comes from my gratitude to God. I have seen many storms but none of which he hasn’t brought me through.
