Shariff Abdullah’s vision and work are informed by his spiritual awareness, his growing up with racism and generational poverty, and his later inclusivity experiences in over 120 distinct cultures, spanning over 45 countries. Shariff’s activist and empowerment background stretches back to the mid-‘60s, when (in 1962) he helped found the Black People’s Unity Movement (BPUM), an organization dedicated to self-help and development in the inner city of Camden. Shariff’s studies led him to a Juris Doctor degree from Boston University. Over the years, Shariff’s focus has widened, from attempting to change society via community and economic development projects to transforming society by shifting consciousness, while creating sustainable, inclusive, empowered and value-driven individuals and organizations.” Shariff is the face of Commonway, an organization dedicated to transcending conflict, moving beyond ‘Caterpillar Consciousness’, and evolving as the butterfly! With gratitude and reverence, we welcome Shariff Abdullah to the #WholePersonActivationSeries!
