At Blue Zones Project® and our parent company, Healthways, we'd like to think of our office as a “living lab,” meaning we try our best to practice what we preach by making healthy choices whenever possible through implementing the Blue Zones® Power 9 principles into our lives. Each week, we'll introduce you to a different colleague of our Right Tribe, and share his or her favorite Power 9.
Meet Jessica, the Neighborhood Education Specialist for Blue Zones Project Fort Worth. Jessica's favorite Power 9 is Right Tribe because supportive people help keep her focused and feeling loved. When Jess isn't working, you can find her snapping photos, spending time with her animal children, coloring, cooking, and participating in community events.
Name: Jessica Latchaw
Job Role: Neighborhood Education Specialist
Favorite Power 9: Right Tribe has been so important in my life. With working full time and going to grad school, you have to have the right people around you to support and encourage you! My right tribe helps me stay focused on my goals and so loved, not to mention laughing! Cannot imagine living my life without my right tribe!
Fun fact: When I was in Hawaii a few years ago, I got a traditional Polynesian tapping tattoo and it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life!
