Mind Food’s Natassia Wright, from tragedy to triumph

We are here for a purpose

Kingston, Jamaica – Natassia Wright, was appointed as a United Nations Peace Ambassador – NGO in October 2020. Ambassador Wright’s story is one of her upbringings of immense tragedy and triumph. At the age of 10, her house in her hometown, Allman Town, was burnt to the ground from electrical problems.

Approximately 8 months after that fire her dad, a police officer was shot and killed in the line of duty. At age 16 while sitting the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) exams, her mother died from an asthma attack. Although going through negative circumstances, Natassia still managed to receive all 8 CXC subjects with grades in ones and twos. Just when you would think it could not get any worse, her grandmother who was caring for her, and her brother died soon after from a cancerous tumor.

Growing up in the inner city of Allman Town in Kingston, the now wife and mother recalled trekking down a rough road to self-redemption. “Although I am a grateful child, living in poverty isn’t the easiest. It was tough, but I did well in school,” she said.

These devastating events left nothing but sadness in Nastassia’s life. As she forged her way to a better livity, the last thing she needed was a partner who wasn’t serious about his endeavors.

Born and raised in abject poverty in Bog Walk, St Catherine, Jamar Wright confessed that despite the financial situation, he was happy growing up. “We lived in a boarding house, 11 of us,” he explained. Living on food stamps, he entered the Programme of Advancement Through Health and Education (PATH). Candidly, he stated that rats, roaches, and duck ants were his pets.

Surviving in his grandmother’s hustle, he explained that she stood as the inspiration and driving force behind his strength and appetite for success. “I had a happy childhood” the optimist shared.

Throughout the local university and beyond, he was fascinated by Natassia’s maturity, she read the same books he was into and was on the same course of purpose and vision; this attracted him to her. So, in sync, they were with each other, and they decided to capitalize on the opportunity to make a great team in Mind Food International.

For the married couple, it has been a good experience working together. “We have been steadily growing. And being married has its nuances but we make it work because we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” she revealed. With warm and encouraging feedback, the dynamic duo is excited to push forward. When things change, because that is inevitable, they are anchored by their faith in God. “Seasons will not last; the night will not last, the day will break, so that lights a flame of hope for us,” he pointed out.

As public speakers, the aim is for others to discover their purpose, fulfill their vision and maximize their potential. “So many people grow up, only to die with their idea and it never comes to life. We have seen too many people go to the grave with the music inside of them. You might be born in humble circumstances but that should not limit or define you. People should die with no regrets, knowing that they did everything they were sent on this earth to do,” Jamar added.
