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 Yolanda, a member of our Worksite team. Yolanda's favorite Power 9 is Right Tribe. Yolanda also serves on the Board of Directors for the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce in addition to serving as the Director of the Women's Division.
Name: Yolanda Roberts
Job Role: Worksite Coordinator
Favorite Power 9: Right Tribe - This is a tough question because my faith (Belong) is very important to me; but I will say Right Tribe, because it is so crucial to have good people around you that support healthy habits. As I’ve gotten older, I’ll take “quality” over “quantity” any day.
Favorite work experience: I really enjoyed serving the community at the Feast of Sharing event in November. It was a pleasure to be part of such an awesome event, sharing food with those less fortunate.
Fun Fact: I’m a minimalist and have enjoyed the journey to living more with less.
What do you do when you aren't working: Lately, hanging with friends and family by the pool.
