“I’ve already done hard things. This process is just another chapter, not the end of my journey.”

There’s a quiet pressure in hiring to treat every moment like it’s final. Every interview, every pause, every “we’ll get back to you” can start to feel heavier than it actually is. But that weight isn’t a reflection of your capability, it’s a reflection of how inconsistent and opaque these systems still are.

We see this all the time: strong, experienced leaders questioning themselves in the middle of a process that was never designed to clearly show their value in the first place.

That’s why at Uproot Talent we’re building pathways that make it easier for organizations to find, recognize, and hire leaders of color with the experience, strategy, and perspective they already need.

If you’ve navigated complexity, led through uncertainty, built something from nothing, or carried responsibility in spaces that didn’t fully support you, you’ve already demonstrated the hardest skills there are. A hiring process doesn’t create that. It reveals whether an organization knows how to recognize it.

And during Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s worth naming: this process can take a toll. Protecting your energy, your confidence, and your sense of self isn’t optional, it’s part of the work.

This isn’t the destination. It’s a checkpoint.

The question isn’t “Will they choose me?”
It’s “Do they know how to value what I already bring?”

We’re partnering with our lovely friends at Untapped Leaders to bring community together at Griffith Park in Los Angeles for a morning walk/hike to step away, move, and reconnect.

In the middle of doing meaningful work, it’s easy to stay in constant motion. This is an intentional pause - space to be in community with social impact leaders across LA.

We’ll close with a one-hour sound bath led by

My first convening was a reminder that we always got us. That even in the darkest moments of our history, people of the global majority will continue to sit in possibility, in hope, and in resistance.

In spite of. Despite it all.

A loud echo that we’re all tugging on our own thread - in the belly of the beast. And no words on our website will dictate our classrooms, what happens on the ground, and in the board rooms.

“Leadership does not wait for calm conditions” 🌊✊🏼

Thank you, EdLOC, for being a place to call home. For creating space for beloveds to hold our dreams tightly and imagine what’s possible together.

Thank you to every person I shared space with - forever in your corner. 🫂

“The right yes will make all these maybes make sense.”

But that doesn’t make the “maybes” easy.

For many, those in-between moments aren’t neutral. They’re filled with overthinking, second-guessing, and trying to make sense of processes that were never built to be clear in the first place.

You start holding questions that don’t actually belong to you.
Was I too much? Not enough? Did I miss something? Should I have said it differently?

During Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s worth naming that impact. That accumulation adds up. It impacts your confidence, your energy, your sense of self. These processes shape how people see themselves, especially when the feedback is silence or ambiguity.

At Uproot Talent, we see leaders sit in “maybe” spaces that don’t reflect their value, not because they’re not ready, because too many systems still struggle to recognize it.

So yes, the right “yes” will make it make sense - it won’t require over-explaining, over-proving, or second-guessing. It will meet you with clarity, alignment, and respect.

But not every “maybe” deserves to be carried like it means something about you.

Happy Mother’s Day 🌿

To the matriarchs.
To the mothers of the village.
To the single moms holding it all together.
To the ones who played both roles when they had to.

We see you. We honor you. We thank you.

Our founder, Stephanie, was raised by one of those matriarchs.

She watched her mother do whatever it took—two, sometimes three jobs, long days, longer nights. By any means necessary, not just to survive, but to build something better for the next generation.

In that home, Stephanie didn’t just witness sacrifice. She witnessed leadership. Love in action. Perserverance. Boundless hope for a better tomorrow.

She saw a woman who paused her own dreams so her children could expand theirs—who crossed a border, navigated unfamiliar systems, and carried quiet battles no one else could see.

Rosa María did the best she could with what she had.

And in doing so, she raised a CEO.

Today we give flowers to her—and to every matriarch, every mother of the village, every Rosa María ::making a way:: where there wasn’t one.

If you have a matriarch in your life, give her her flowers today. 🌷

In honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re continuing our Revolutionaries You Should Know series.

Meet Yuri Kochiyama.

Born in 1921 in San Pedro, California, her early life was shaped by the forced incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. That experience didn’t just politicize her, it sharpened her understanding of how the U.S. government criminalizes entire communities, and what it means to resist that.

She became deeply involved in the Civil Rights and Black Liberation movements, not from the sidelines, but through direct, sustained relationships — building with Black, Puerto Rican, and Asian organizers who were reimagining freedom in real time.

Yuri is often remembered for being present in historic moments, but her real impact was in the everyday: writing letters to political prisoners, visiting those incarcerated, organizing against state violence, and committing to people long after the headlines faded.

Her Harlem apartment wasn’t just a gathering space, it was a site of political grounding. A place where movements were nurtured, where international struggles were connected, and where solidarity was practiced as responsibility, not performance.

Yuri’s politics were rooted in care, discipline, and consistency. She believed that showing up again and again was the work.

Her life reminds us that revolution isn’t only about visibility or recognition. It’s about who you stand with, how you stay, and what you’re willing to build over time.

This AAPI Heritage Month, we honor the quiet, committed, and deeply relational work that continues to move our communities forward.

Your is meant to connect the dots for the reader - a chance to take ownership of the narrative that recruiters and hiring teams make when looking at your application materials.

It’s not a space to repeat what’s already on your resume (or a place to play small and be modest)— it’s a perfect place to expand and go deeper on the impact and outcomes.

We recommend sharing 2-3 specific examples that correlate to what you’d be doing in the new role.

What questions about cover letters do you have? Drop them below and we’ll answer them in the coming weeks!

May 5 is a call to awareness and to action.

The crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons is not separate from the systems we work in, it is shaped by them. Colonial violence shows up in who is protected, who is believed, and who has access to safety, stability, and opportunity.

Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people continue to be targeted while being excluded from equitable pathways to employment, leadership, and economic security.

Behind every statistic is a name, a life, a family, a community still searching.

At Uproot Talent, we believe hiring is not neutral. Who gets visibility. Who gets resourced. Who gets to lead. It all matters.

Awareness alone isn’t enough.

✅ Build pathways for Indigenous talent
✅ Invest in Indigenous leadership
✅ Partner with Indigenous-led organizations
✅ Demand accountability from the systems you’re part of
