✨ 💙Beyond honored to have been asked by Walmart to moderate a convo with one of their amazing Open Call winners — synearfoodsusa ! 

This all went down at acenextgen Conference — celebrating 10 years of AANHPI founders, changemakers & dreamers. Such an inspiring space where Walmart shared their focus pillars:

💙 Health & wellness
🇺🇸 U.S. manufacturing
💡 Open Call — helping small biz dreams hit the shelves!

Walmart sponsored the Unity Marketplace, featuring Synear Foods, and hosted the Hot Seat Stage (where I got to jump in as moderator 👋 which is my favorite thing ever to do. I love helping to share people and brand stories) 

What I love about Walmart’s Road to Open Call 2025 👉

⭐ Connects small businesses directly with Walmart + Sam’s Club buyers
⭐ Champions American-made products & local entrepreneurship
⭐ Turns ideas into real opportunities — literally getting your products on shelves nationwide!

Walmart’s investing $350 billion by 2030 to support U.S. manufacturing, sustainability, and community growth. Because when small businesses thrive, communities flourish. 💪

So grateful to be part of a moment that celebrates hard work, heart, and the incredible stories behind every small business dream. 💙
