Manny Mclemore

My name is Manny Mclemore. I’m 22 years old, born and raised in San Bernardino, California, though I’ve never stayed in one place for too long. Moving constantly shaped me, but basketball grounded me. Since I was a kid, the game wasn’t just a sport—it was an art form, a way to express myself. I played through high school at Holt and later continued in college in Michigan, always chasing the next level. But as much as I love basketball, I’ve always felt there’s something more. I’ve been drawn to the arts since I was young—music, design, storytelling. Now, I’m figuring out how to blend those passions and find my purpose beyond the game.
