Founder Hustle: Unleashing Creative Potential w/ Kalilah Wright

Welcome back to Founder Hustle, the podcast series by, for, and about New Majority entrepreneurs. Hosted by Melissa Bradley. Although this month, we're taking a short break from new episodes before we drop season 3, fear not, because we have some gems from season 1 to share with you. In this special episode, we have the pleasure of hearing from Kalilah Wright, the visionary Founder of Mess in a Bottle. If you have a creative idea itching to be realized or if you're looking to venture into uncharted territories, this episode is tailor-made for you. Kalilah's journey will inspire you to seek what's missing in the world or even just in your world and turn it into something extraordinary. Originally from Jamaica W.I., Kalilah moved to the United States at a young age and was raised in the vibrant city of Brooklyn, NY. Armed with a Masters degree from Morgan State University and a Bachelors of Arts from Penn State University, she utilized her background in design and architecture to launch Mess in a Bottle in January 2016, based in Baltimore, Maryland. Mess in a Bottle isn't just a brand; it's a powerful means of expression. With each item designed and printed at Kalilah's in-house studio in Baltimore, the brand aims to drive change and provoke thought in its audience.  During this episode, Kalilah generously shares her roadmap to finding the inner strength and courage to take risks. For founders of color, she emphasizes the potential of leveraging our culture as a competitive advantage. By doing so, she believes we can challenge and reshape the world's perception of us, silencing any negative messages that may have been historically perpetuated. Learn more about your ad choices.
