Meet Our Founder

There are individuals who build organizations from innovative ideas, and then there are those like Terica K. Wright, who establish them from survival, faith, sacrifice, and purpose. The Wright Choice Foundation emerged from the lived experiences of its founder, Terica, a woman whose life exemplifies that pain does not have to signal the end of your story.

Terica is a nonprofit leader, mental health advocate, suicide prevention supporter, author, and program developer committed to emotional wellness. Her mission is deeply rooted in real-life experience, compassion, and unwavering faith. Having faced childhood trauma, domestic violence, homelessness, depression, spiritual conflict, and four suicide attempts, she has continuously risen, healed, and shared love with others throughout her journey.

For over 15 years, Terica has dedicated her life to aiding individuals and families in crisis, instability, and trauma while fostering resilience building. Long before formally establishing her nonprofit, she was actively involved in supporting her community by opening her home, mentoring youth, and assisting families in rebuilding their lives. Throughout the years, she has provided housing and support to more than 27 individuals and families, creating a foundation centered on healing, accountability, compassion, and restoration.

What sets Terica’s story apart is not just her survival but the transformative journey she undertook. After years of enduring emotional pain and life-altering challenges, Terica courageously chose to channel her suffering into service. Currently, she is pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Psychology with a concentration in Christian Counseling at Liberty University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA, earning multiple Dean’s List recognitions, and holding membership in the Omega Nu Lambda National Honor Society. In addition, she is simultaneously pursuing both a Master’s and Doctorate in Christian Counseling through the Global Empowerment School of Ministry, further strengthening her commitment to faith-based mental health advocacy, counseling, and community service.

Beyond her nonprofit leadership, Terica has experience in healthcare systems and government-supported initiatives, contributing to large-scale healthcare implementation projects in partnership with real estate firms and the State of Georgia. Her extensive professional background encompasses nonprofit leadership, healthcare administration, accounting, operations, crisis support, and trauma-informed care.

Terica is also the creator of:

- The Wright Choice Foundation - Heart Angel Workbook Journal

- Full Circle: 6 Steps Back to You - 6 Acronyms Emotional Healing Framework

- The Heart Angel Project | Peace Break Movement

- Heart Angel Campus - Phase 1, 2, 3, 4

Her vision is expanding with the future development of the Heart Angel Campus, a safe and restorative environment dedicated to mental health awareness, life skills, counseling, creativity, spiritual growth, and second-chance opportunities for youth, young adults, families, communities, and veterans.

Above all titles, accomplishments, or accolades, Terica’s greatest testimony is this: She never gave up. Even when told she would never be good enough. Even when trauma tried to silence her. Even when depression attempted to convince her that life had no value.

She chose to heal. She chose to grow. She chose purpose.

Today, her life stands as living proof that your beginning does not dictate your destiny. Your past does not disqualify your future. And regardless of how dark life may become, healing, transformation, education, leadership, and purpose are always within reach.

Terica believes that every person deserves to feel seen, heard, valued, and loved. Through The Wright Choice Foundation, she is dedicated to helping others rediscover hope, rebuild their lives, and understand that they too can overcome any obstacles in their path.

Love Always,

Warr;or
