Much of who Cris is and what she knows came from living in more than 12 cities, connecting with more than 100,000 individuals, and consciously communicating for thousands of hours (as an introverted extrovert).
As someone who attended Jack Yates High School in the historically-Black Third Ward in Houston (attended by George Floyd Jr. and Debbie Allen) and grew up in the historically-Hispanic East End neighborhood, it was imperative that Cris take advantage of every opportunity for insight.
Through pure luck and a lot of tenacity, Cris grabbed what she could and managed to graduate from Howard University, cultivate a successful journalism career and build a tech company.
Cris started her career as a reporter at the age of 14, working for a Houston community newspaper (The Houston Sun) and the NAACP-Houston Branch. Throughout college, she held internships at major publications around the nation (The Houston Chronicle, Dow Jones Newswires, The Associated Press). In her journalism career, Cris was known for holding public figures accountable for their actions and inactions. She dug through public documents and made public meetings accessible through digital updates and virtual programs (in the year 2013).
Cris began her first business -- WrightNow Results -- in 2016, after a three-year stint in the C-suite for a county department. She has also cofounded a virtual country club for business women who work remotely (The FAM).

Why are you Catching Cris?
What makes her so busy?
Cris committed to life as a digital nomad in 2021, determined to finally enjoy life after two decades as a workaholic. She now spends her time in whatever city makes the most sense for her in the moment, enjoying the moments right before her eyes.
As a self-proclaimed transient spirit, Cris enjoys dropping into new communities, getting to know the underbelly and unleashing as much knowledge as those in her path need. If you Catch Cris, she will freely and transparently spent as much time as you need to "get it."
And still, Cris's main priority these days is Cris. As a high-functioning depressive in a society that pushes "hustle" and "success," Cris is determined to match her deep knowledge of external forces with a deep understanding of her internal self.
Therefore, if you need her, you gotta Catch Cris.
