I was born Gordon Ardison and later because of changes in beliefs and philosophies, I changed my name and attitude to Baruti Donkor Ajanaku.

I was raised in the steel and concrete jungles of Shreveport, La. and attended the public schools of Caddo Parish.

I am the son of Susie Ardison, mother of eight, and I have four children of my own.

I became known in my hometown as a fighter for causes, a firebrand who could not resist the urge to speak out against injustices.

My goal, through God is to express in writing the sufferings and hopes of a people that the educational system has maneuvered to a lower class, and to remind them of the need to rise and unite.
