The people who call Sheree Wright are, as she describes them, afraid, overwhelmed, angry, uncertain, or feeling powerless. She treats that as the first fact of the case rather than as background noise. “People don’t usually call an attorney because everything in their life is going well,” she says. “I never want to become so focused on the legal work that I forget that.” Wright is an attorney, an entrepreneur, and an advocate, and she lists those three in that order on purpose. She owns a business and founded a firm, but she says a corporate title is a weaker reflection of her than the work is. #### **A start in Jamaica** She was born in Jamaica and built her adult life and career in the United States. “My journey has shaped the way I view opportunity, hard work, and what it means to create something for yourself,” she says. She studied political science at DePaul University in Chicago, and while still an undergraduate she worked as an investigator for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, reviewing discrimination complaints against large employers. She earned her law degree at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, and Phoenix became home. During law school she co-founded the Wright Way Foundation, a nonprofit addressing poverty and homelessness in Jamaica. Advocacy came first. The business came later, and for a specific reason. “I wanted the freedom to practice law in a way that reflected my own values,” she says. “I wanted to create an environment where clients could receive exceptional representation while still feeling seen as human beings.” #### **Building something of her own** She founded an immigration practice, then became a founding attorney at IBF Law Group in Phoenix. Her work has spanned personal injury, employment, civil rights, and immigration. She has gone up against large companies and institutions on behalf of people who, as she puts it, “simply wanted someone willing to stand beside them and fight.” Entrepreneurship taught her that being an excellent lawyer and being a good business owner require almost entirely different skills. Leading people. Taking responsibility when a plan fails. Trusting her own judgment when nobody else in the room had the answer either. “Building something of my own has been one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life,” she says. #### **The part people do not see** Not all of it was visible. “There have been seasons when, from the outside, my life looked incredibly successful,” she says. “Privately, there were moments when life felt very different.” She will name loss, setback, and uncertainty. She will not narrate them, and she does not believe she has to. “I don’t believe every difficult experience needs to be publicly explained in order for the lessons from it to matter,” she says. Resilience, she says, is not the same as being unaffected. “It’s about refusing to allow one difficult chapter to define the rest of your story.” Faith carried a good deal of that weight. She describes it as an anchor rather than a talking point, and she is clear that it never handed her explanations. “I may not always understand God’s timing or the path in front of me,” she says, “but some of the greatest growth in my life has come from seasons I never would have chosen for myself.” Her definition of strength shifted too. She used to think it meant pushing through everything. Now she thinks it can look like trusting God without a clear reason to, allowing herself to be human, and still believing something meaningful sits on the other side. It also changed the way she reads other people. “You never really know what someone is carrying behind a title, accomplishment, photograph, or successful moment,” she says. #### **What comes next** Becoming a mother brought a lot of it full circle and rearranged what she wants her career to be for. The next chapter, as she describes it, is about reach rather than volume. She wants to keep taking on meaningful legal work, and she wants to mentor young attorneys and entrepreneurs, particularly women and people from backgrounds where certain careers can feel like they belong to somebody else. She wants to write and speak more about leadership, entrepreneurship, and what resilience actually looks like when the cameras are off. “I want my child to see a mother who pursued her purpose, worked hard, treated people well, remained grounded in her faith, and wasn’t afraid to build the life she envisioned,” she says. Her definition of success has changed as well. “Success is becoming less about proving what I can accomplish,” she says, “and more about being intentional about what I leave behind.” She has no interest in presenting the road here as a clean one. “I hope readers leave feeling that success doesn’t require a perfect story,” she says. “Sometimes the imperfect parts are what give the story its meaning.” _Sheree Wright is an attorney, entrepreneur, and advocate based in Phoenix, Arizona.
