70: This Brooklyn-Bred Entrepreneur is Breaking Barriers, One T-Shirt At a Time Side Hustle Pro

    • Entrepreneurship

Today in the guest chair is Brooklyn-bred and Baltimore-based entrepreneur, Kalilah Wright. Kalilah is the Owner and Creative Director of t-shirt company, Mess in a Bottle. Through Mess in a Bottle, a cutting-edge brand with timely and to-the-point messaging, she hopes to give voice to the voiceless. Kalilah has always had a business spirit and, in 2016, quit her job and hit the ground running with a fierce work ethic and grind mentality. As an accomplished designer and trained architect, she used her Master's degree from Morgan State University and Bachelors of Arts from Penn State University to establish her brand in Baltimore City, Maryland. I met Kalilah at the Rise Empowerment conference in DC in 2016. All I remember is her dressed in her Mess in a Bottle Gear and handing out free product to the conference speakers. Almost immediately, when I checked the conference hashtag one of the conference speakers had already shared Kalilah's gift on Instagram. I was impressed by her guerilla marketing and hustle mentality then and have been watching her journey ever since. On today's show, Kalilah shares more of the real deal holyfield of what it's like to be a new entrepreneur. Kalilah gets into: Why she left her dream job at Under Armour even though she didn't have everything all figured out How she used craigslist and $500 to buy her early equipment How she found and pays for her first business space ever Her conference hustle strategy that helps her to get her name and brand out there and much more!
