My birthname is Frank Rodgers,Jr. I'm known, though, as Kalunga. It means "the sea". I am humbled by African-American children of all ages. They seem to enjoy my presence and keenly sense that I feel likewise. For the past five years I've been an After-school and summer program Swahili Drill Team Instructor and Group Leader.The mission insignia started as a 3-insignia interest back in 1985. Read its beginning in detail at blackhistory.com/inventors/science. In 1998, The Collection left my house, to decorate my summer youth group "homeroom"/Community Center Conference Room. There it remains. I am a resident Houstonian since 1977 and a native Detroiter right down to the Motown Sound. Me and Diana Ross grew up across the "driveway" from each other! My stepDad wrote Marvin Gaye's classic "Inner City Blues". I'm a Scorpio, married 27 smooth years with a 28-year old about-to-tie-the-knot son. I'm not quite a black "trekkie" but I very well could be the "historian" future "starfleet" archivists talk about. In the "way off distant future", I'm sure to be a Starship Commander; I wondered about becoming an astronaut as a boy. No small wonder then, that my hobbies include science fiction writing (and waiting to be discovered), African drumming, photography, acoustic guitar and 14 years continuing in combat kung fu, otherwise hailed as Tai Chi Chuan.
