From an early age, she inspired me to be a leader, to use my voice and talents, and to go after everything I desired.”

Jordan Gustus, Inspired by Erica Wright

Watching someone make anything happen makes you truly believe you can do anything! Growing up, I watched my mom, Erica Wright, run businesses, be a wife, an excellent mother, a mentor, a volunteer, and much more. She did it all with grace!

Her tenacity, creativity, and passion were infectious and definitely passed on to me! From an early age, she inspired me to be a leader, to use my voice and talents, and to go after everything I desired with unwavering dedication. Although I knew that everything she did wasn’t as easy as she made it look, I knew it was more than possible for me too. 

When I decided to run my own graphic and brand design company, my mom was more than supportive in assuring me that I had it! Even when others encouraged me to get a “real” job with benefits, my mom never lost faith in me. Every step of the way, we have helped and encouraged each other in life and entrepreneurship as I have found my footing! I can’t wait to continue to learn from her and grow with her as we both continue to expand.
