Biography

Supreme Understanding was the only child born to Bangladeshi parents in Jersey City. Supreme is a member of the Nation of Gods and Earths. Supreme went from being a juvenile delinquent to obtaining a doctorate degree in education at the age of 26, by his own claims (no sources are found to back this up). The focus of his literary work is on helping at-risk youth. His work has taken him to hundreds of cities across America as well as internationally. Coming from a similar upbringing as his target audience, his work is more relatable. Understanding currently teaches elementary school children in the Atlanta Public Schools system.

Awards and honors

In 2004, Supreme Understanding was awarded a Japan-Fulbright Memorial Fund Scholarship, and was invited to Japan as a guest of the Japanese Ministry of Education. In 2008, Supreme Understanding won the Atlanta Family Awards for Excellence in Education for his work in increasing student achievement. He was named "Teacher of the Year" in Atlanta Public Schools in 2010.

Literary work

Writing style

Supreme Understanding's publications are often written in a "unique writing style", using plain language. About When the World Was Black he said, "This is heavy stuff, so I wanted to make sure it would be easy enough for a high school student to read and enjoy." This style is curious, given his claims about his own higher education.
