King Crush Thursday - The Interviews

EPISODE 157 Emile E. Holland is a 23 years old west Philadelphia Native. Emile is a proud product of the Philadelphia public school system. Emile the son of a Temple Owl began his journey at Temple in the spring of 2019. Entering into Temple as a political science major, Emile quickly realized his zeal for the field of Africology, more specifically education under the discipline of Africology. Growing up with a mother as an educator there was always a heavy importance placed on education. And more importantly in the power that being a young g black educated man held. Being a devoted Christian community, involvement and engagement were at the forefront of Emiles life. Always having a passion for community engagement especially on the part of those in the minority. It was only fitting for Emile to join the ranks of the notable men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. as a spring 22 initiate of the Pi Rho Mania chapter seated here at the temple. During his time here on campus as a Brother of Alpha, Emile served two terms on NPHC Eboard as Secretary and Vice-president. As well as serving in various rolls for his chapter and district levels. Come this fall Emile will be beginning his teaching career here in the school district of Philadelphia and will be starting a Master of Education in k-4 with a certification in k-12 special education. And Emile lives by the saying “simply showing up is half the battle”.
