Zayyiah’s Story

Zayyiah Utley is on the DDA Waiting List at Current Request. She is 27 years old and lives with her family in Baltimore City. She practices Islam.  She loves to read. She hikes, and she likes being creative. Zayyiah’s Service Coordinator was able to obtain CARVE funding for her to have 4 weeks of private classes with an artist at ClayWorks in Baltimore City.  At that time, she was feeling very low and needed something to boost her self esteem, which this has! She has already made over 10 ceramic items.
