Anderson has completed master work in community economic development at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and has studied classical flute at the University of Alaska, in Fairbanks. Born and raised in Chagrin Falls Park, Ohio, Anderson has traveled extensively throughout Africa, Europe and the Caribbean and studied martial arts in Asia. He has two children, Mori and Ghenea , who live with their mother, Clara in Chester, Pa.
In addition to having acquired Black Belts in two deferent martial arts styles over the past two decades, Anderson has taught hundreds of young people from all walks of life how to defend themselves if need be, and more importantly, how to use their inner peace and calm to avoid dangerous situations, knowing that the objective of martial arts training is in how to avoid situations that can be dangerous. Soo Bahk Do - Moo Duke Kwan, and Haidong Gumdo are the styles that have led Anderson to become proficient in the use of weapons and bare hands and feet.
As a performance flute play, and spoken word artist, Anderson has performed all throughout America, Europe and Africa. Anderson has lived in Angola, South Africa and Namibia in West Africa for four years and traveled extensively throughout the continent as a procurer of precious metals to be sold on the open market. As a consultant to Emerging Markets, Inc. located in Los Angeles, Anderson has conducted extensive surveys into the spending, saving and investment habits of large swathes of the minority communities in LA.
Anderson speaks Spanish, Portuguese, and some Korean in addition to English, and can be truly considered to be a renaissance man of the twenty first century. I hope that this book sheds some light on the continuing struggles of African Americans in the small burgs throughout America and that the telling of this story draws attention to these historic black enclaves.view less
