The couple began setting trends before becoming known internationally via their respective reality television and superstar music production successes.  

"At Ampro, we are impressed with Toya's efforts to improve her life and the lives of those around her as documented on her reality television show, 'Toya: A Family Affair,' and in her inspiring book, Priceless Inspirations," said Jack Sammons, President of Ampro Industries.  "Similarly, we are proud of MeMpHiTz' achievements. He's a homegrown Memphis favorite who has become a success in the music industry with both Jive Records & his own imprints Hitz Committee and Do Work Enterprises.  We feel the path he has taken in his career is one which should be a model for young artists and encouraged on a national level."

In partnering with Toya and MeMpHiTz, Ampro not only supports their efforts to be role models in the community, but will also join in some of their activities and offer opportunities for customers to grow through the knowledge of their success. 

Antonia "Toya" Wright was born in New Orleans to a family wracked with drug abuse and passed from relative to relative.  A single mother of one, she married her childhood sweetheart, rapper Lil Wayne, a marriage that lasted two years.  Now a popular reality television personality on BET and a bestselling author, she is a model for overcoming childhood struggles.

Mickey "MeMpHiTz" Wright, Jr., a Memphis native, is Vice President of A&R at Jive Records and CEO of his own creations Hitz Committee and Do Work Enterprises.  He has helped craft the careers of artists such as J-Kwon, Huey, the Party Boyz & K. Michelle (another Memphis native).  MeMpHiTz is also responsible for signing Grammy Award winning, multi-platinum selling artist T-Pain.
