Express Yourself: Kalilah Wright and Mess In A Bottle

Danielle talks with Kalilah Wright, designer, founder & CEO behind the expressive brand Mess in a Bottle. As a Baltimore resident in 2015, Kalilah felt the ripple effects following the Freddie Gray riots. She noticed people around her feeling stifled and unsure of how to express their thoughts and emotions in the wake of the 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.
