Zechariah Waldron-Carrington (pronounced like Zachariah) is a senior at St. Francis Preparatory School (SFP) in Brooklyn. His dad is from Guyana, and his mom is from Trinidad and Tobago.

His grandmother was the first person in his family to travel to the U.S. from Trinidad & Tobago, specifically Boston, MA. According to him, she came because his great-grandmother wanted her to have better opportunities.

People may be surprised that Waldron-Carrington loves art, specifically painting, drawing with colored pencils, and creating digital art on his iPad, which he sometimes shares on his social media platforms.
