What an unforgettable experience at the Walmart Open Call event at their headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas!?? I am beyond grateful to have received a fast pass to pitch My Roots Are Rich to the world’s largest retailer, Walmart, and share our vision of representation and empowerment with such an influential company. It was a proud moment, pitching my business to a Fortune 1 company, and knowing that I was speaking for a brand rooted in purpose, passion, and positive representation. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support from my mentors at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs who helped me prepare every step of the way. To my amazing family, and every supporter of My Roots Are Rich—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your belief in this journey fuels me to keep going ???? Though we did not receive a golden ticket to be in Walmart stores, we are still working diligently to get our products on a shelf near you! This opportunity has inspired me to keep pushing boundaries! ?? Here’s to continued growth and making waves in the retail industry! ?? #WalmartOpenCall #MyRootsAreRich #RepresentationMatters #EntrepreneurJourney #Grateful ---
