When passion meets purpose, transformation follows—and few embody that truth like Dr. Iris Wright, a powerhouse entrepreneur, community leader, and fierce advocate for justice and senior care. Her nomination for the Industry Impact Award at the Influencer Magazine Awards 2025 celebrates her unwavering commitment to innovation, empowerment, and legacy-building across multiple industries.

Dr. Wright has built an empire rooted in service and impact, launching Caring Hearts Telecare, Caring Hearts Foundation, and Wrights Virtual Services. She also heads logistics, media, publishing, and advocacy platforms like Wright Way Logistics, Black Diamond Chronicle Magazine, and Real Talk with Iris. But her journey began long before the spotlight.

After years in restaurant management and healthcare, a pivotal moment in 2019, sparked by Steve Harvey’s motivational book Jump, propelled her into full-time entrepreneurship. Her drive to improve home care led to the launch of Caring Hearts Senior Living, later rebranded as Caring Hearts Telecare, which was nominated for Best Home Care of the Year in 2023 and 2024 in Newport News, VA.

Her influence isn’t just local—it’s national. In 2022, she presented her insights on Telehealth at a Leading Age seminar, showcasing her forward-thinking approach to elder care. Dr. Wright’s accolades are recognized across countless platforms, including the 2023 and 2024 Community Votes Awards, the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the Woman of the Year Award, and the International Impact Award. She also earned two honorary doctorates in Healthcare Administration and Business, and closed out 2024 listed among Forbes’ Top 20 Entrepreneurs.

Her voice continues to resonate as an author through bestselling titles like Injustice Vol. I, II, and III, Girl Don’t Count Yourself Out, and her upcoming memoir, Injustice: My Story. Through the Injustice Movement, launched in 2023, Dr. Wright extends her mission beyond business, offering legal aid to the wrongly accused and advocating for clemency for underserved individuals, including one man who has spent 27 years imprisoned for a non-violent offense.

Whether empowering teen moms, advocating for equitable senior care, or building platforms for underrepresented voices, Dr. Wright is a force of intentional change. Her nomination for Industry Impact Award reflects more than business growth—it honors a life built on vision, compassion, and relentless action.

Congratulations, Dr. Iris Wright. Your work is shaping industries, healing communities, and rewriting futures.
