Today, we are happy to return to our Across Generations Series with Part 1 of our conversation with native Washingtonian, sustainability advocate, nonprofit leader, and new father, Rafael Woldeab.
Rafael Woldeab, a native Washingtonian and son of Eritrean immigrants, is Executive Director of City Blossoms, an award-winning 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that cultivates the well-being of our communities through creative programming in kid-driven gardens. Raf first joined the City Blossoms team in 2015 as a seasonal intern. Since then, he has remained an integral part of the organization, serving on its board of directors for four years and, most recently, as its board chair. He received his bachelor’s degree in Environmental Policy from Sewanee: The University of the South as a Posse Scholar, and has over 11 years of professional background in community organizing and justice-centered program development. He is also the founder of Masc-Off, a community organization committed to dismantling harmful forms of masculinity. When not getting his hands properly dirty in the garden, Raf enjoys practicing photography, discovering new music, and playing recreational soccer.
