When an injury limits how you can perform work, art, and creativity, how do you find joy?

April Donovan, also known as the performer MC AP Real, is a rapper involved in three different musical projects as well as a formally trained artist, graphic designer, advertiser, and illustrator.

April suffered a serious traumatic brain injury in 2018 that landed her in a coma for 10 days and is still affecting how she’s able to live and express herself today.

We talk about:

April’s motorcycle crash and initial injuries
Constructing and reconstructing memories after a brain injury and coma
What it was like moving back home after the hospital
The impact a severe injury had on relationships and finances
Adaptations April makes in order to pursue work and art with tough symptoms
The realities of being a creative human with an invisible disability
How April is sharing her life through music, writing a book, and art
