The bottom line: You know better than anyone else, so trust yourself always! Over the years, he has discussed relationships, depression, addiction, anxiety, and even an attempt to take his life. “The conversation just happened one day where I said wouldn’t it be funny to move to LA and become an underwear model … and then things just happened.” He said the men’s underwear industry wasn’t as big as it is now when he made the trek to California.

We’ve seen Colby in a couple of different waist bands over the years.

The best part is that 20% of their profits go to HIV/AIDS organizations.”

In a press release AdamMale wrote: “Colby Melvin is the perfect fit,” stated Lee Grutman, media strategist at AdamMale. Here is what I'll say: I am grateful for the opportunity and my time with the company. Considering I still wear a cape around the house, I guess not much has changed.

He shared that he was very unhappy in Los Angeles and has found a great new home in Denver. “There’s board game nights, movie nights with friends, I just love the environment.” He was realizing on work and vacation trips, especially when he traveled back home to Louisiana and visiting Chicago, those environments were so different than the LA environment and his mental health was better.

But learning to listen to my inner voice has been the most important thing I've done to build strong relationships without sacrificing my sense of identity or allowing someone else's ideas to influence my values too heavily.

In 2016, he used his platform to open about his struggle with depression (see his Facebook Live video ‘Keeping it 100’ embedded below). What lessons have you learned along the way, and how has it changed your perspective on life?"

In just a few weeks, I'll be celebrating four years sober!

I still feel like I never grew up from the kid who turned a cardboard box into a superhero hideout. My experience as a gay person – as someone who often feels like an outsider in society – has been the most formative part of my identity and career. When you're living in the country, your imagination is your best friend. What were you like as a child?

Are you ever going to have your own underwear line?
I've been working on an underwear line for over a year now. When it happened I was completely silent and did not want that part of my personal life becoming the property of social media. It helped me get where I am today, however there was nothing left for me to do with them.

They go between light blue, lime green, and a clear gray. “Other places, it didn’t take 45 minutes to drive 2 miles, the cost of living in LA was too much, and it never felt like home.” He knew what needed to change, so on February 1 of this year, he moved his life to Denver, Colorado.
“Do you miss anything from LA,” I asked.

I think the underwear industry is a ladder to climb.
We had a chance to talk to Colby as he starts his very new venture as the brand ambassador for AdamMale. We’ll get to that a little later. But first we had to figure out how does a 29 year old 5’7” activist and social influencer get to this position in his life.
Colby, born and raised in Louisiana, came out in Mobile, Alabama when he was a frat boy (oh to be in that house).
