Zangba Emmanuel Dwekla Thomson was born within the Grebo African tribe during the "From Mat to Mattress/Americo-Liberian" rulership era of William Richard Tolbert Jr., in an iron ore mining community called "Bong Mines," located in Bong County, Liberia, West Africa. Zangba's father, John Thomson, named Zangba after a paramount chief from the Bassa African tribe, whose name means "all powerful and ruler of all." "I had a great and imaginative childhood," says Zangba. "My mother was making a way for us in America, so my older sister, Wade, and I lived with our grandparents. I came from a very prominent political family that produced great men and women in my native country: My grandfather was a lawyer and a legislator in the government, and my father graduated from the University of Manheim, West Germany in the 1960s, became an economist and worked as Housing Supervisor for Bong Mining Company." Being offsprings of Nubians from Ancient Kemet, and descendants of freed Negro slaves and missionaries from the Baltimore-Maryland area, Zangba and Wade left their native land of Liberia, a few years prior to the Liberian Civil War, and moved into their mother's studio apartment, located across the street from the Coliseum Mall in Jamaica-Queens, NY. Everything looked foreign, but gradually Zangba's habit of watching and learning helped him adapt to his new concrete habitat.

After experiencing the ghetto life on the harsh streets of southside Jamaica-Queens, Zangba began writing about his trials and tribulations, which lead him to record a song called Three Black Boys. The boys' story was so interesting that people were asking Zangba, "Why did the boys commit the robbery?" To answer their intriguing question, Zangba unintentionally became an author when he adapted the song into the book, Three Black Boys, which became an instant hit in Harlem, USA. After that great victory, Zangba went on to co-write Do Right Do Good, a self-help guidebook towards vision fulfillment and entrepreneurship, with Marketing Guru Jean Alerte; and shortly afterwards, "Do Right Do Good was endorsed by American Business Magnate Russell Simmons and Dr. Dennis Kimbro (best-selling author of Think & Grow Rich: A Black Choice). Also, Zangba is N.Y. Life Coach at Examiner.com, a place where he contributes motivational/evergreen articles.
