Founder and President of ChanBear & Associates, LLC and Coleman's Dynamic Products As a writer, Coleman who writes under the pseudonym Dante Cinque was the number one beat writer for what was once the most read African American newspaper in Tennessee, The Urban Journal. Coleman’s nose for news and the willingness to seek out the truth in any story was the anchor reporter for the urban periodical.The Rush Hour: a play concerning community indifference to the plight of its children was his first work which some day he hopes to get produced as a traveling message to youth parents. Coleman has no problem sharing his talents with others and extends that concept to his local community. He is founder and President of I Love My Children, Too, a parental rights organization which lobbies to stop discrimination against noncustodial parents. Over the last ten years, his lobbying efforts along with other like-minded organizations have begun to change the face of custody and child support as America knows it today. Through that organization, the Daddyluv Newsletter is published.“At the end of the day, I will always fight for a child’s right see his/her parent.” --Coleman-I Love My Children, Too sponsors the annual “A Fathers Family Picnic.” A day designed to accentuate, celebrate and motivate positive fathers in our community.Through his activism and dedication to youth and the community, Coleman developed the highly requested Teenage Survival Kit. A seminar for youth designed to make them aware of choices they make and how those choices can affect their lives positively or negatively. “Once they leave my seminar, I guarantee, most if not all are thinking about their future in a different light.” --Coleman— While in Memphis TN, Coleman developed a locally award winning program Rites of Passage & Queenship. This program was designed to foster positive mental attitudes in young people ages 12-17 which operated in Lamar Terrace Housing Development which at the time was the worse development in the area. Participants were required to maintain good grades and citizenship. Coleman used his skills for organizational development, fundraising and implementation all of which helped to secure local and state funding through grants. Coleman’s talents were also utilized by the successful inner city program, Project S.E.E.(Support, Education, Empowerment) located in Nashville, TN at the Cumberland View Housing Development which is euphemistically referred to as “Dodge City.” As program coordinator, Coleman was responsible for curriculum writing, mentorship written curriculum, drug & gang counseling, motivational speaking, and grant writer. It is only fitting that Coleman’s love for children and his fight for parental rights led him to one of the most well-known parental rights organizations in the country, The Children’s Rights Council . The local organizers quickly recognized his talents and elected him president of the Davidson County chapter. CRC’s mission is to lobby state legislatures to stop discrimination against noncustodial parents and advocates the abolishment of unfair custody laws. CRC is based in Washington, DC. Coleman has made numerous radio and guest appearances across the country such as Black Writers On Tour in Los Angeles, Ca; The Black Male Development Seminar, Philadelphia, PA; Black writers of San Antonio, TX; Africana Studies Conference, Nashville, TN; The Atlanta Literary Festival; The Tom Pope Show in Washington DC; The Dr. Jeffrey Gardere Show in Brooklyn, NY; The Bev Johnson Show in Memphis, TN; Just Talking with Rev. Enoch Fuzz in Nashville, TN. In his spare time Coleman enjoys a self prepared gourmet meal and a nice American or French wine.
