Undergrad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) was an intense experience. It acts as a pressure-cooker that forced me to think deeply about my purpose, and my potential to affect change in the world. MIT taught me to how to become a problem solver.    (Photo by Eric Baetscher)

K’nex, art, and Batman were my three childhood loves. When I could not go play outside like other children in safe neighborhoods, I turned to these things for freedom. These were my role models and heroes. They taught me how to think and dream.

My heritage is diverse and rich. My ancestors strived to ensure my generation could thrive instead of survive. Our family is gifted in the arts. My grandparents were artists, my mother is a talented songtress and seamtrist, my father is a gifted entrepreneur and my eldest brother Shaun J Wright is a multi-faceted artist. I come from great gifts, and I will continue carry forward with the family craft.
