Sam’s Club is seeing a changing of the guard!

Latriece Watkins is the newly appointed president and CEO of Sam’s Club, the members-only wholesale chain owned by Walmart Inc..

For decades, she’s been in Walmart’s C-suite driving growth. Watkins started with Walmart as an intern in real estate in 1997, later leading merchandising across snacks, beverages, beauty, and store operations. She became chief merchant in 2023, overseeing roughly $500 billion in products sold annually.

“My team and I get to choose all the items that customers experience at Walmart. We consider ourselves their personal shoppers. We love to curate an assortment,” she said on Fast Company’s Innovative Companies podcast.

A graduate of Spelman College and University of Arkansas School of Law, Fayetteville, Watkins also helped attract higher-income shoppers. Just three years later, she was promoted to CEO of Sam’s Club. Her appointment takes effect February 1.

Congratulations Latriec! Read more at ESSENCE.com.

👶🏽👧🏾 Did you know most young children get their annual wellness checks, but the numbers drop as they get older? By the teen years, nearly 1 in 5 kids skip them. And for children on Medicaid/CHIP, only about half receive their yearly visit.

✨ These visits matter:
✔️ Early detection of health issues
✔️ Preventive care to avoid emergencies
✔️ Support for growth, development & mental health
✔️ Education for parents

Our kids’ wellness checks deserve just as much attention at every stage of growth and development. Prevention saves lives — and money.

🛡️ With Open Enrollment around the corner, now’s the time to make sure your family has coverage that pays 100% for preventive services — plus basic Critical Illness protection for peace of mind.

👉 Message me today and let’s make sure your children (and you!) are fully covered this year and beyond.

This month, she turns 10—a beautiful milestone and a living reminder of God’s promises fulfilled.So this June, we’re moving quietly, intentionally, and full of gratitude—honoring God, growing in faith, and soaking in all the blessings around us. 💛

Just like we’re nurturing the present, we’re also planning for her future. Living benefits—like those found in an Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policy—aren’t just about life insurance. They’re about building wealth, protection, and peace of mind while you live. Because our children’s future should be as secure as their childhood is sweet.

📩 Curious how IULs can grow with your child? Let’s talk.

🍂 A Heart of Thankfulness 🍂

Today, let’s embrace the power of gratitude—it’s more than just a feeling; it’s a proven way to reduce stress, improve health, and increase happiness.

Here are a few simple yet impactful ways to make today more meaningful:

✨ Reflect on three things you’re truly thankful for—big or small.
✨ Share a kind word, a smile, or a helping hand with someone in need.
✨ Step outside and savor a moment of peace in nature.

Did you know? Gratitude can lower blood pressure, boost immunity, and even improve sleep quality.

We’d love to see your tips, moments of joy, or even a little humor in the comments—let’s spread positivity together!

🫶🏽 Wishing you peace, joy, and good health today and always!

As the seasons start to shift, I like to hit the reset button—both for our home and for my body. Every fall, winter, spring, and summer, I try to refresh our space, and every three to six months, I do a body reset... well, *at least I try* 😉.

**Pic:** These pajamas were a gift from her Grandma Harris last year—they were way too big back then, but Grandma knew better. She's wise like that. 😂 These resets? They're definitely necessary!

Do you ever reset your home or body?

I'm gearing up for a 7-day cleanse and thinking about inviting family and friends (including your children) to join me and my rich best friend for a small group reset! It’s a great way to refresh nutritional habits and get back into healthy routines for the entire family. Who's in? ☺️

p.s. Now don’t start sending pj’s! Grandma Harris already has that on lock 😉

"Did you know that 623,000 children in Texas lack health insurance? 💔 This is alarming, especially when affordable healthcare options are available!

Why risk your child's health when there are resources out there? Our kids deserve the best examples of personal, physical, and mental health care. When we know better, let’s do better—for them. They deserve it just as much as we do."
