Thean The Dream

Colorful, that’s all I can see physically and spiritually when she walks into a room. Her aura has an infinite range of colors, and her unique style strikes your attention to the point where you can’t help but stare at this walking rainbow. Athena is known as the Goddess of wisdom and useful arts in Greek mythology. Ironically, Athena Hamilton possess a wise mind beyond her age and she is artistically capable of almost anything.

Athena is native of Savannah GA., and she is currently studying Journalism here at SC State. After college she aspires to either a writer for an entertainment magazine, a public relations specialist, a lyricist, or a new producer.During her free time Athena enjoys reading, writing, playing drums, listening and making music, and helpings others.

Athena has one older brother who is also one of her biggest life motivators. Narada inspired Athena to “pick up an instrument and join the marching band”. Athena has been marching for many years and has been a part of the Marching 101 since her freshman year. Within the band she is a member of Red Dawg and Bongo Brothers Inc.

Her brother is a former member of the Marching 101 and is very well known among others. Athena has a very close relationship with Narada and is thankful that he pushed her to join the band which is something she cherishes.

Another one of Athena’s biggest motivators is J Cole. She said, “he helped mold her as a writer and an artist, and he inspired her to help make a difference in the world.” She also mentioned how J Cole was one reasons why she attended college in the first place. Her favorite quote from J Cole is “If they don’t know your dreams then they can’t shoot them down.”

In 5 years Athena sees herself starting a charity or a non-profit organization to get young people interested in creative careers and help promote self-awareness and self-growth. She wants to be a beacon of light for young children and inspire them just like J Cole inspired her.

Athena also mentioned how in 5 years she wouldn’t mind producing for a television network or music company and being able to write music for other artists.

Nothing stops Athena from obtaining anything she puts her mind to. No matter how hard or long the road gets she will always end up on top. Athena is a dream chaser, and I guess that’s why the call her Thean the Dream.
