Allen K. Cole

Allen is a visionary whose life has always been shaped by the power of music and fashion. Growing up in the streets of Columbus, Ohio, he experienced firsthand the harsh realities of gang culture, drugs, and personal loss. Despite these challenges, his innate creativity blossomed early, inspired by a rich family heritage of musicians spanning various genres. From a young age, music was not just a passion but a lifeline, with Allen even expressing his talent as a lyricist at one time. Throughout every chapter of his life, he embraced a philosophy of giving his best effort and, more often than not, succeeded beyond expectations. However, his journey was far from easy. A series of difficult and often tragic events presented life changing results, but his spirit never wavered. He is the type of person who, when faced with adversity, always finds a way to rise again. This resilient mindset has been the driving force behind the creation of the Eyoby Movement, a mission deeply rooted in mental health awareness, self-expression, and bringing people together through music and fashion. In the coming months, Allen plans to share more about the specific incidents and circumstances that shaped his path, providing insight into how life’s toughest lessons fueled his determination to succeed. Through Eyoby, he aims to inspire others who, like him, refuse to let life's setbacks define their future.
