ABOUT ABDUL-RAZAK ZACHARIAH
Hey there! My name is Abdul - I\'m a community and cultural worker with a background in youth work, critical participatory action research (CPAR), land use planning and zoning, and arts-based engagement methods. I currently work as an urban planner in New Haven, CT.My interests in doing community work center on community housing and economic stabilization, arts and culture in celebrating civic life, collective approaches to identifying new solutions to local issues, and pursuing multi-generational community wealth building. These interests and goals mainly come from spending a LOT of time hanging out in and observing my courtyard apartment building growing up.In achieving a multi-generational vision of well-being, I center my work on partnerships with young people and youth advocacy organizations, particularly young people from historically racialized and wealth-extracted communities as well as the adults who care for and steward their environments.I enjoy work where I can oscillate between intentional community engagement and visioning work and translating that work into implementable change through policy, research, media or other tools we maybe haven\'t thought of yet.
