About the Author
Author, and diabetes advocate Mutima K. Jackson-Anderson stands modest in confidence yet, courageous in character.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Mutima begun expressing her
thoughts through writing at an early age. Wanting to follow in the
footsteps of her mother, who was a freelance writer for the Atlanta
Inquirer, Mutima begun to write poems and short stories- which led her to journey into the literary world by writing her debut novel, the
successful selling, "Painting the Perfect Picture", a thought-provoking
story about a woman’s struggle to endure unexpected detours in life.
In 2010, Mutima launched Ka'rii Literary Entertainment, a marketing, and promotions firm for independent authors of African American interest literature. Mutima is also the Executive Director of the Ruby A. Neeson Diabetes Awareness Foundation, a nonprofit organization she established in honor of her late mother. As a diabetes advocate, Mutima promotes awareness in many aspects of her life, including in her written works.
In 2017 Mutima launched Faraja Pedicure, a social enterprise formulating plant-based foot care products to help efface the quandary of common foot problems.
When she is not writing, or raising awareness of diabetes, Mutima enjoys reading, visiting art galleries, traveling, and special moments with loved ones.
Mutima’s favorite philosophy quote is - “I think therefore I am”.
