A Character is Born
Anthony Harris Brown was raised in an urban environment surrounded by potential pitfalls. Thanks to his mother and grandmother’s prayers and sacrifices, Anthony stayed the course—rising above the obstacles that derailed many of his peers to pursue a path of purpose.
Anthony had been the primary male host of Another Look Cable Television for over a decade. This talk-variety show aired on Time Warner Cable Northeast Ohio Network and reached approximately 1.4 million homes. Alongside his co-hosts, he provided viewers with an alternate perspective of news, sports, entertainment, the arts, special events, and more – within and around Northeast Ohio.
With a passion for the performing arts, A. Harris began honing his craft from an early age. Throughout his high school and college years, he developed his skills further and eventually taught speech and drama. Harris has traveled nationwide to perform and speak at concert halls, theaters, schools, and churches—using his talent and experience to inspire diverse audiences.
Harris has achieved success as a mentor, artist, motivator, and friend, performing mostly on the historic stage of Karamu House Theatre in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as in other theaters in the area. He has also been featured in a number of independent and short films, some of which have been selected to appear in local, regional, and national film festivals and competitions. Notable credits include Neighbors, Dreamgirls, Sister Act, Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues, The Wiz, Fame, Black Nativity, 12 Angry Men, Porgy & Bess, La Bohème, Disney’s Aladdin Jr., Ragtime, Six Degrees of Separation, Cut Flowers, Once on This Island, Ain’t Misbehavin’, Leap of Faith, The Color Purple, and various 48 Hour Film Festival Competitions.
In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony began video podcasting from his living room in an effort to connect with others through social media. For two years, he broadcasted “The HBCU Alumni House Party Show!” on Facebook and YouTube, providing entertainment to an audience of HBCU alumni and supporters on topics such as financial support for their alma mater, campus highlights, student recruitment and alumni events. His HBCU awareness campaign raised over $180,000—mobilizing alumni and supporters during a critical time for higher education. The program is now available for viewing or listening seven days a week on various multimedia platforms, including the Daily Gospel Network.
Notable episodes of The HBCU Alumni House Party Show! include “College Day Sundays,” spotlighting faith-based HBCU recruitment efforts; Season 3’s “A Legacy in Motion,” celebrating alumni changemakers; and Season 4’s “Culture, Community, and Class,” which elevated Black student resilience and cultural pride.
Anthony also serves as the lead co-host of The HBCU Man Cave, a bold podcast centering real conversations around identity, mental wellness, and purpose for Black men in leadership. Memorable episodes include “Where Are the Men?”—a deep dive into fatherhood and advocacy—and “The Cost of Being Strong,” exploring emotional health among male educators. Together, these platforms reflect Anthony’s mission to inform, uplift, and inspire.
In May 2023, the show was named one of the top 15 Best HBCU Podcasts amongst thousands of podcasts evaluated by Feedspot, a platform for discovering, classifying, and ranking blogs, podcasts, and influencers in multiple niche categories. Ranking criteria included traffic, social media followers, and freshness, as reported by the Feedspot Blog Reader.

Train Up A Child
Anthony declared his Christian faith and was baptized at a young age under the guidance of the late Pastor George Q. Brown of Second New Hope Missionary Baptist Church.

HBCU Advocacy & National Leadership
Anthony Brown has built a national reputation as a passionate advocate for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). In February 2020, during the UNCF National Alumni Council Leadership Conference in Charlotte, NC, he was elected as the 24th President of the National Alumni Council (NAC)—a national initiative of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). The NAC represents alumni and students of the 37 UNCF-supported institutions, impacting more than 60,000 students annually and celebrating the accomplishments of over 500,000 graduates. Serving during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony led national efforts in student recruitment, alumni engagement, community advocacy, and fundraising. Though his term has ended, he continues to be a powerful voice for HBCUs across the country.
In Northeast Ohio, Anthony previously served as president of two distinguished alumni organizations: the Cleveland Council of Black Colleges Alumni Association and the Northern Ohio Inter-Alumni Council of UNCF, serving for six years until 2020. His work in these roles earned him the nickname “Mr. HBCU of Cleveland” for his unwavering dedication to higher education access and advocacy.
Under Anthony’s leadership, the Cleveland alumni council was honored at the 86th Great Lakes Regional Conference by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. for their outstanding service to the community in the area of Educational Enrichment. Later that year, he was the keynote speaker at the National Council of Negro Women Cleveland Section’s annual luncheon, where he also accepted a scholarship donation in recognition of the council’s HBCU service.
In recognition of his enduring impact, the alumni council established the Anthony H. Brown HBCU Arts Scholarship Award—a scholarship designed to support students from Cuyahoga County enrolled at a Federally-recognized HBCU who are majoring in the Performance Arts, including acting, dance, creative writing, screenwriting, theatre, television production, and vocal or instrumental music.
Anthony believes deeply in the UNCF motto: “A mind is a terrible thing to waste. But a wonderful thing to invest in.” He credits his middle school principal—who encouraged him to attend college—as a pivotal influence in his life and leadership. Today, he remains devoted to advancing HBCUs through storytelling, partnerships, and resource development. As he often shares, “HBCU alumni have a moral obligation to help the next generation of scholars become the leaders of today.”
Anthony’s advocacy also extends to media. He continues to amplify HBCU pride through The HBCU Alumni House Party Show! (previously described), where he spotlights culture, student stories, and alumni leadership. He also co-hosts The HBCU Man Cave, a podcast focused on the wellness, identity, and purpose of Black men in education and leadership.
