Jacky Wright has worked on numerous projects. From managing 2x Grammy-nominated songwriter & singer Kenyon Dixon and author Thelma Wright, to working with actor Michael B. Jordan. This kid from Philly touched on his love for his hometown, the behind-the-scenes of working on the movie Black Panther and the purpose behind his new brand wrighteous™.
