“I always had entrepreneur goals, and I never knew how to move forward with those things,” Chiquita Wright explained.

KING COUNTY, Wash. — As a Black woman in Seattle, Chiquita Wright struggled to get her foot in the door professionally – but now, thanks to her entrepreneurial mindset and the right resources, she has created something to help other people of color gain access to the career opportunities she never had.She’s a college graduate, an entrepreneur, a leader, and her own boss.But success didn’t come easy for this single mom of two.

Classes are taught in an immersive environment and have real-world applications – incorporating lessons from local female business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. By the time Wright completed the program in 2020, she had the framework for her own business – “Our HR,” a public relations and marketing company dedicated to providing employment and internship opportunities for people of color in Western Washington.

“I had to figure out what I needed versus what I wanted. I had to cut out all the things I wanted to be able to put towards the things that I need,” Wright said. “The biggest want of course is to be financially stable and just taking that want, it made me feel the power to need, the need to save, the need to build, the need to invest.”
