As a Baltimore resident in 2015, Kalilah felt the ripple effects following the Freddie Gray riots.

She created Mess in a Bottle as a way to give voice to the voiceless in her community, empowering people to express themselves. Danielle learns about Kalilah’s journey to build Mess in a Bottle – starting out with less than $500 to seeing Serena Williams sport one of her creations. Kalilah reflects on the boldness and unapologetic power her designs hold, the acute challenges that black women entrepreneurs face, the importance of flexibility as an entrepreneur and understanding that all our paths to success look different.Host: Danielle MoodieExecutive Producers: Danielle Moodie & Adell ColemanProducer: Andrew MarshelloDistributor: DCP Entertainment See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We are chatting with Kalilah Wright on how she created her business, Mess in a Bottle. She left a 6-figure job as an architect to start her business even with all the ups and downs in between! Small Business, Big Dreams require grit, determination and a whole lotta prayers. And did we mention thick skin? The kind of skin that doesn’t mind the no’s because behind every no a yes is around the corner. The startup life is not for punks, instead, they are the exact opposite. They are the strength we depend on, the energy we need daily and the hope that marches after just the one opportunity.

Kalilah is a graduate of Penn State University and Morgan State University with a Masters in Architecture.  After college the Brooklyn native migrated to Baltimore and worked as a designer for Under Armour.  Baltimore erupted after the death of Freddie Gray and Kalilah noticed there's was a disconnect in the neighborhood she worked and lived.   So rather than stand on the sidelines and do nothing she started "MESS IN A BOTTLE".  Mess in a Bottle's concept is based on a form of communication; dating as far back AS 310 B.C.  "I started Mess In A Bottle as a to give voice to the voiceless, giving them something to say without having to say a word.   The recent assassination of Nipsey Hussle hits close to home for Kalilah, after being victim of an armed robbery-she almost gave up pursuing the business.  The armed perpetrators didn't get any money but, what they stole from Kalilah was hope.  It would've been easy to close up her brick in mortar shop, instead she followed her gut and shared her experience on social media and her tribe responded with placing thousands of orders.  I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did preparing for it, conducting the actual interview and doing the editing.  Please please it would mean so much to me if you'd tell your friends about the podcast share it write a review on iTunes if it sucks say so; tell me what you like and what you think we can improve as we strive to continue brining you the absolute best in running and entertainment aka RUNUTAINMENT.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/derek-oxley/support

On this episode, we dive into how Kalilah Wright - Founder and CEO of Mess In A Bottle embraced the power of  innovation and the pivot in her career and business.   An early lover of the arts and all things creative, Kalilah received her Bachelors of Arts from Penn State University and Masters degree from Morgan State University. She was an accomplished designer and trained architect working for Under Armor when she realized that this "idea" she had for a business could be something more than just a "dream" but a reality. Did it make sense for someone who was working at an applauded company to quit and pursue entrepreneurship full-time?  Better yet - did it make sense to quit a job as an architect to sell t-shirts? For, Kalilah it made a whole lot of sense.  In January 2016, Mess in a Bottle launched. The company sells creative messages written t-shirts and packaged in reusable bottles.  The 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. Kalilah shares her #dreamdriving journey - bringing us along for the challenges, successes, and learning moments along the way.   Some of the topics we also discuss include: - What inspired Kalilah as a child - How Mess In A Bottle started - 3 Ways To Build A Great Team - The importance of the pivot - Tips for succeeding in eCommerce and building a team - The importance of being innovative... and more!

We talk about what it took as an entrepreneur to pick up her bootstraps and dive headfirst into building her awesome business. Join us as we have candid conversation about getting out of your own way to succeed.

When Kalilah Wright left her six-figure architect job to follow her true passion of becoming an entrepreneur — crafting cool sayings on cotton t-shirts for her brand, Mess in a Bottle — she never thought she would come face-to-face with crime. More importantly, she never thought the city she loved and called home would be where her nightmare took place. But the root of her story stretches far beyond fashion and entrepreneurship, its premise focuses on empowerment and having the fortitude to forge ahead when you’ve given up hope. Today, Wright will tell anyone who listens, the importance of being happy and living your dreams, even when they’re interrupted by trauma.

Tune in to this episode as Kalilah Wright, an entrepreneur from Baltimore and owner of Mess in a Bottle shares her ups and downs in starting and managing her own T-shirt company.
