Life Coach Wright

Life Coach Wright Born in Chicago and raised in Detroit, Andre T. Andre is living proof that your origin does not get to decide your outcome.

Sovereign Director of "Food-Based" Private Membership Associations (PMA) | Wright's Lounge BBQ, Co-Founder | Blunt Talk - Safe Space For African American Men | Self-Publishing Author Wright came up through abandonment, abuse, foster care, detention centers, and homelessness, and he turned every bit of that survival into discipline and purpose. Today, Andre stands as the pioneer who took the priv

ate membership association and built it into a real food operation, and an entire industry is now studying what he did with it. He proved you don't need to be a public business to feed your community and win, that a private membership association can anchor serious work, run entirely on its own terms, with no dependence on the traditional restaurant system. Operating out of Providence, Rhode Island, with deep roots in Charlotte, North Carolina, he turned Wright's Lounge BBQ into a thriving private membership food circle that controls its own terms, protects its own community, and keeps members coming back for craft they can't find anywhere else. He took the private membership association model, which most people didn't even understand and showed them exactly what it could do, then he documented every move in his book, No Walk-Ins Allowed: The PMA Playbook for Building a Food-Based Private Membership Association, available now on our website, and handed other builders the blueprint to build their own. As the founder of Blunt Talk, Andre leads an exclusively African American (FBA) private men's circle that offers its services to African American men across the New England states, and it stands as one of the few organizations where cannabis leads the conversation, opening the door to real accountability, healing, and self-governance in how the men show up for each other. He works directly with African American men and families who are done with performative motivation and ready for real clarity, discipline, and direction. Everything he teaches comes straight from a life he actually lived, sharpened by faith, mentorship, and a serious understanding of community economics. He decides for himself, and he helps other people decide it too.

Juneteenth and baseball—

The first Juneteenth celebrations were especially important. Many Black Americans who were enslaved participated in the celebrations and passed on their experiences to the next generation. In Parsons, Kansas in 1895, the Parsons Weekly Blade, told how they celebrated the 30th anniversary of the emancipation by, "indulging in various pleasures," followed by "sumptuous repasts." Then came a series of speeches about the importance of Juneteenth and the experience of slavery still fresh for many African Americans. After the speeches, the celebrations continued with, "an animated game of baseball."

Sometimes clear boundaries are enough to restore balance in a relationship that has slowly grown unhealthy over time. Other times the healthiest decision becomes full distance from someone who keeps refusing to respect the limits you have communicated honestly.

This remains true even when the person causing the harm happens to be family or a longtime friend you once trusted deeply. Toxicity can live inside any relationship, regardless of how close or how lasting that bond appears on the surface.

I, Too
BY LANGSTON HUGHES
I, too, sing America.
I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.
Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.
Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—
I, too, am America.
