“Nothing makes me happier than to open doors and blaze a path [that] others can follow,” says Brooklyn Wright. “I have been making room and capacity-building for underrepresented communities all of my life and I have a strong belief that all power should be shared.” A business owner and sales strategist, Wright uses community, storytelling, and event curation to help top organizations engage with diverse audiences. as well as a decades-long advocate for underrepresented populations who Wright currently serves as chief revenue officer for Out in Tech, a global non-profit organization for LGBTQ+ technologists. The organization creates opportunities for its 45,000 members to advance their careers and expand their networks, as well as leverage technology for social change. “Out in Tech, as well as my financial literacy work, allows me to take what I have learned over the past 20 years and pour it into communities I also identify with,” says Wright. Going forward, Wright’s vision for themselves involves more balance, personal enjoyment, and time with those who matter most. “I identify as a recovering workaholic [and] I have spent many years accomplishing,” Wright says. “Now I hope to spend more quality time with my wife and family. I want to spend more time smelling the flowers and finding my internal joy!”
