After more than five years of podcasting, the Philadelphia-raised Christian Singles and Women's Empowerment Speaker, Certified Online Life and Purpose Coach, published author, podcast host, and event planner is one step closer to a national platform that could amplify her faith-based message.
From North Philadelphia to a national spotlight, Coach Bulinda Wright, professionally known as Coach B, is taking her voice, her faith, and her message of purpose to a larger stage. Now, she is asking the city she calls home to help her take the next step.
Coach B has advanced to the Top Five in her group in the national Top Host 2026 competition, presented in association with iHeartRadio and Ryan Seacrest. What began as a competition involving 86 contestants in her individual group has narrowed to just five. Coach B currently holds the number three position and is preparing for a critical elimination round on Thursday, November 12, 2026. This round will determine which contestants advance and whose competition journey comes to an end.
For Coach B, this opportunity represents much more than winning a competition. It is about expanding the reach of a message she has spent more than five years sharing: the truth of God's Word, the love of Jesus Christ, and the importance of living a life rooted in faith, healing, and purpose.
Raised in North Philadelphia, she is a graduate of John W. Hallahan Catholic Girls High School. Her connection to the city extends beyond her upbringing. She continues to serve and remain connected to her local community, including her church home, Greater Exodus Baptist Church, under the leadership of the Rev. Herbert H. Lusk III.
Philadelphia helped shape Coach B's professional and personal life, and she is proud to represent the city as she pursues this opportunity.
MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OF PODCASTING WITH A PURPOSE
Coach B began her podcasting journey in March 2021 with the launch of her original podcast, Get Unstuck and S.E.X.Y. The acronym S.E.X.Y. represented Self-Confidence, Excitement, Xtra, and Yes I Can! The original platform focused on encouraging women to embrace confidence, recognize their potential, and move beyond obstacles that could prevent them from living fulfilling lives.
In June 2025, the podcast evolved and was rebranded as The Christ-Centered Single Podcast, reflecting Coach B's growing passion for creating a faith-centered space specifically for women, particularly women ages 35 and older, navigating singleness, relationships, healing, and purpose.
In June 2026, Dr. V joined Coach B as co-host, bringing additional perspectives and meaningful conversations to the platform. Coach B remains the creator and host of the podcast she originally established in 2021.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP, EVENT PLANNING, AND EMPOWERMENT
Coach B is the founder of Keep Looking Up with B. Wright Jones, LLC, established in 2014. Through her company, she provides encouragement, coaching, speaking, and empowerment opportunities designed to help women navigate life's challenges and discover their God-given purpose.
Her professional experience also includes event planning and meeting coordination through The Wright Event Planning Service, established in 2007. Her experience includes planning and coordinating in-person meetings and online events.
For Coach B, podcasting is not simply about having a microphone or building an audience. It is about having an opportunity to make a difference.
FROM 86 CONTESTANTS TO THE FINAL FIVE: A CALL TO PHILADELPHIA
The journey to the Top Five has been exciting, humbling, and filled with gratitude. Beginning with 86 contestants in her individual group, Coach B has continued to advance through multiple rounds of competition.
Now, with only five contestants remaining in her group, she is asking her Philadelphia family, friends, supporters, churches, community organizations, and local businesses to rally behind her.
Her immediate goal is to move from number three to number one in her group and continue advancing in the competition.
The upcoming elimination round on Thursday, November 12, 2026, is particularly significant. It represents another opportunity to move closer to the ultimate goal and potentially secure a larger national platform.
