About Me

About Me

Hello, I am Taniya Wright, a dedicated public servant, community advocate, and entrepreneur with a heart for service. I believe in the power of uplifting others, creating opportunities, and making a lasting impact, whether through my work in city planning, my role in community service, or my personal business ventures.

As a professional planner for the City of Bakersfield, I help shape the future of our community by ensuring sustainable growth and development. But my passion for service doesn’t stop there, I proudly serve as a board member of the emPOWERment Foundation, where I work to support underserved communities, at-risk youth, and human trafficking awareness initiatives.

My journey has been one of dedication and perseverance. I’ve successfully organized large-scale community events, managed impactful projects, and secured grants to support my small businesses and community initiatives. I also take great pride in my entrepreneurial spirit, having owned and operated multiple home-based businesses since 2015.

I am currently furthering my education, pursuing a Master of Public Administration (MPA) at the University of Phoenix, because I know that knowledge and leadership go hand in hand. Above all, I am a wife, mother, and grandmother, family is at the core of everything I do, and spiritual beliefs directs my every step.

I believe in serving with purpose, leading with integrity, and inspiring others to reach their full potential. My mission is simple: to create meaningful change and leave a legacy of empowerment.
