Mondays suck. We all know it.
However, Mondays give us the chance to showcase “someone special” who has made
some sort of an impression on us in a craze made famous through Instagram and
Twitter called “Man Crush Monday.”
Now, your Man Crush can’t be just anyone.
This has to be a man of integrity, leadership, potential and of course, good
looks. Therefore, who would be a better Man Crush for us this week other than the
sophomore English and Screenwriting major; Mr. Leon McCollum.
Leon is a Cincinnati, Ohio native who prides
himself on having “Less than a dollar and a dream.” He has many endeavors and
aspirations that he will stop at nothing to achieve. Most of us know him as the
goofy, dog-loving kid who keeps us laughing, but are unaware of his many
talents and accomplishments.
Leon is a storyteller- hence the major in
Screenwriting. He is a vocal musician and talented rapper who also enjoys
playing the drums in his pastime. Mr. McCollum is the president and founder of
an up-and-coming organization he titled THOTH. THOTH is the ancient Kemetic god
of wisdom and is the origin of where the English language derived the word
“thought.” His organization is devoted to black education in vast forms and
aspects with hopes of reaching and touching all people on a spiritual, soulful,
mental, physical, and emotional note.
McCollum is a contestant in the 38th Blackburn-Spencer Scholarship Pageant and currently has many projects cooking in the
cosmos, so make sure you’re on the lookout! This young man is a clairvoyant free-thinker
with infinite amount of potential and possibilities. He is going to take many by storm- starting with Ohio University.
Leon would like to remind
everyone of an important message that he lives by through a quote once said by
the rapper, Nas: “Use your intuition. You are tomorrow.”
Thank you, Leon, for
everything you do and for all the inspiration and joy you give to each of us.
We salute you; our McCollum Crush Monday.
