Woman Behind The Mess with Kalilah Wright
Architect, designer, creative director and owner of MESS in a Bottle, Kalilah Wright is here to share her story! The Mess in a Bottle is a T-shirt company that is emotional, thought provoking and an expression of the current climate of the world. The MESS brand was established to evoke change, question Kalilah’s audience and allow individuals wearing their messages to be vocal without saying anything at all. Each item is designed and printed at her Baltimore in-house studio space. In this episode, Kalilah & Nikki discuss Kalilah’s entrepreneurial journey, the importance of making room for healthy conversation about complicated situations, and the pivotal decision to approach people with compassion and care each day. Kalilah talks about creating a business rooted in honesty and raw creativity with a focus on messages that she needs herself as a “regular degular“ woman. She also discusses managing her life as a mompreneur, teaching her son the business and leaving MESS as a legacy business for him as it continues to grow. Kalilah generously shares about a traumatic incident in her shop a couple years ago and how it impacted her path and view moving forward. Her strength and willingness to share her knowledge and story with those around her is a gift for each and every one of us.
