Anderson has quite a history. She came to America from Africa at age 10 and lived in Roxbury as an illegal immigrant until 2019 when she became a citizen.

As mentioned in that tweet, her husband Tanzerious Anderson is currently in prison for murder.
Tanzerious Anderson, the city councilor’s husband, is in jail for murder in the first degree, armed robbery and illegal possession of a firearm. He was found guilty as a principal and joint venturer in the crimes.
According to court documents, on March 25, 2000, Anderson and 16-year-old Joleena Tate broke into a condominium in North Conway, New Hampshire, that belonged to Tate’s father. They stole firearms and ammunition, including a .357 Magnum revolver.
The victim took Tate out to dinner, and then Tate requested that he drive her to the designated building.
