  • Leymo Mohammed was 17 years old when his mother passed away. She was a personal support worker and contracted COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic. A young Black man from St. James Town, Toronto, Leymo and his 12-year-old sister were left entirely on their own. #CBCShortDocs #LoveLeymo

    Two years after her death, Leymo narrates a letter to her in Love, Leymo, updating her on his struggles, his accomplishments, his goals and the importance of his friends as he comes to understand the world around him.
    Leymo is on the autism spectrum and has a learning disability. He’s working hard to try and find a place for himself in the film and television industry.
    Leymo is more than the loss of his mother. He is more than just a person on the spectrum. He has thoughts and ideas about the world he’s growing up in to which everyone, on and off the spectrum, can relate.

    I've talked with Leymo a few times and he's a REALLY nice person to talk to!
    Leymo has gone through so much in his life with his mother, bullies, and his disability. He's inspired me so much as I have anxiety it's difficult to have confidence and to be myself, Leymo has taught me that it's ok to be myself.
    YOUR THE BEST LEYMO! ❤️

    Leymo, I really enjoyed your short film. It must be difficult without your mom but if she was here she would be so proud of what you are achieving. You are truly an inspiration and I hope you reach all your goals.

    My dear Leymo, I was Biftu’s grade 3 teacher and you were integrated in my class at OLoL for some subjects. I was so saddened to hear of your mother’s passing because I know how much she meant to you and your sister and how much you meant to her. I am so proud to hear how you’ve matured and are forging out your life. You’re right, your mother doesn’t need to worry about you. All my love to Biftu. ❤

    I'm a 24 year old man with autism who also still loves The Wiggles. This documentary really inspired me. I've seen The Wiggles in concert 4 times so far. None of them with the OG Wiggles, unfortunately. I'll be seeing them in concert again in June with my mom and my BFF Haley. I'm dedicating that concert to my beloved Busia (that means grandmother in Polish) because she came with me and my mom to one of our past Wiggles' concerts. I'd really love to go to an OG Wiggles reunion concert. You're going to do great, Leymo! Stay strong 💪.

    CBC does some great work with youths and children. Still can't believe I'm living in a world where people don't want us to have CBC. I guess it shows that they don't pay attention to stuff from CBC thats outside of their dislikes. Thank you Leymo for sharing with us!

    What an incredible story. I almost cried when he tells his story of how he lost his mother of covid. To be honest, In my opinion I was a huge fan of the wiggles when I was child. However, I went to three concerts in Toronto which are Pop goes the wiggles, go bananas, and wiggly circus. May god protect leymo and his sister through this difficult time and ease their pain. Ameen.

    " i feel like, you know, with george floyd and everything anything could happen to me, even if I'm completely innocent and don't react." because of his skin color dark because he is black, dark skin and his color brown, light skin, ethiopian, indian and the guy that he works in od to was not innocent that he is committed a crime but he beat the case and it's different than that
