How Tech Can Advance Immigrant Justice — with Bartlomiej Skorupa of Mobile Pathways [Ep. 226 - Business Impact]

Listen in as we talk tech, AI, and data as a tool in the fight for immigrant rights.

In this episode, I’m joined by Bartlomiej Skorupa, Co-Founder & COO of Mobile Pathways, a tech nonprofit using AI and mobile data tools to support immigrants navigating the U.S. court system.

Bartlomiej’s story - from fleeing communism in Poland, to burning out in corporate America, to almost losing his vision in Madagascar, and eventually building a mission-led tech platform - is proof that purpose and impact are not linear. They're shaped through life experience and our values.

Together, we unpack:

  • 📲 How Mobile Pathways uses AI to cut through time poverty to advance access to immigration legal services

  • 🧠 The power of tech to sustain advocacy and scale social justice work - especially in the immigration system

  • 🛠️ How changemakers can use tech ethically to support marginalized communities while minimizing harm

Whether you’re an immigrant, advocate, or social entrepreneur, this episode offers a grounded look at how innovation can drive structural change - without losing sight of humanity.

As Bartlomiej shares: “You can’t control chaos… but you can outlast it if you figure out the purpose in the moment.” 

As changemakers, we can’t always control what’s happening - but we can choose how we respond.

And we can leverage technology - not as a threat, but as a tool for good.

That’s how we build sustainable change.

    Legacy in Action: Building a Business Our Grandmothers Would Be Proud Of with Breanne J. Palmer, Esq. [Ep.223 - Business Impact]

    What happens when the child of immigrants becomes a changemaker — not just for her family, but for the entire system?

    In this powerful and heart-opening guest episode of SYNARCHY, Adina sits down with Breanne J. Palmer, Esq. — attorney, immigration policy advocate, and founder of AJA Advocacy Solutions — to explore what it means to build a business rooted in legacy, liberation, and justice. 

    Breanne’s story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. From nonprofit and government roles to founding her own policy consultancy named after her grandmother, Breanne shares how her consultancy is way more than a business. It’s a legacy project. A reclamation. And a declaration that advocacy doesn’t have to burn us out — it can be done with soul, clarity, and sovereignty.

    ✨ You’ll hear:

    • What finally pushed Breanne to leave the “safe path” and start her own firm

    • How her family’s story and experience as Jamaican immigrants shaped her approach to entrepreneurship

    • How Breanne redefined leadership after years in government, private, and nonprofit spaces

    • Why we don’t need a “seat at the table” — and instead we can build the whole house

    • What legacy actually looks like in action — and how to build without replicating the systems we’re trying to dismantle

    • The power of walking away — and of building something new

    This episode is a permission slip to lead differently for anyone navigating visibility, voice, and career changes. To build businesses that feel like home. And to honor the shoulders we stand on — while becoming inspiration for future generations.

    🔑 Takeaways

    • Advocacy doesn’t have to mean burnout — it can mean entrepreneurship.

    • Your legacy isn’t someday — you’re living it now.

    • The systems we build today become the safety nets of tomorrow.

    Debt Shame Is Designed to Silence Your Wealth Building — Let’s Break That Pattern [Ep. 222 - Finance]

    What if your shame around debt isn’t really yours?

    In this episode, Adina breaks down how debt shame is strategically manufactured to keep historically marginalized communities in silence — and in survival mode.

    She shares a personal story of a recent financial spiral, what it triggered emotionally, and how she navigated it without bypassing the real fear, frustration, or guilt.

    From there, she unpacks how generational money trauma, internalized high-achiever pressure, and systemic financial exclusion are all entangled — and why rewriting your beliefs about debt is one of the most powerful things you can do on your wealth-building journey.

    Whether you’re currently in debt, avoiding the topic altogether, or helping your clients move through their own shame… this is a reclamation conversation.

    Because financial healing is activism.
    Because you are allowed to be human.
    And because the shame was never yours to carry.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why shame around debt is designed to keep you small — and quiet

    • How to distinguish your beliefs from inherited or projected ones

    • A trauma-informed process for breaking the spiral and re-regulating

    • The difference between reacting in fear and responding with clarity

    • Empowering reframes for anyone working through debt or other financial challenges

    • Why financial flexibility is wealth

    • And how wealth-building can start with one belief shift at a time

    No Justice Without Wealth: Rethinking Financial Liberation [Ep. 221 - Leadership]

    We talk about justice.
    We talk about money.
    But rarely do we admit: there’s no justice without wealth.

    In this episode, Adina shares a bold reframe on what financial liberation really means — especially in a world where our communities are under constant attack.
    Because true justice isn’t just legal. It’s also financial.
    And financial work is justice work.

    Whether you're quietly budgeting for the first time, helping your community build wealth, or building a social impact organization or business — this episode is for you.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why financial disempowerment is a deliberate tool of oppression

    • How trauma around money gets passed down — and how we heal it

    • Financial empowerment as a form of activism

    • How financial coaching, community education, and building businesses can shift generations

    • What we’re building through Immigrant Finance & International Empowerment — and why it matters now more than ever

    This episode is a grounding force and a rally cry.
    You’re not behind. You’re part of a bigger movement.
    Financial healing is activism. Let’s build together.

    🔑 Takeaways:

    • Financial trauma doesn’t stop with one person — it echoes for generations

    • Wealth-building is resistance

    • Systems create justice — and we’re building them now

    From TikTok to a National Movement: How Sophia Zarate Is Rewriting the Rules of Community-Led Impact [220]

    What happens when one Latina posts a TikTok out of corporate loneliness — and accidentally starts a nationwide movement?

    In this episode, Adina sits down with Sophia Zarate, founder of Corporate Pero Latinos, a nonprofit creating professional and social connection points for the Latino community — while fueling massive impact behind the scenes.

    📍Started as a Facebook group.

    🏆 Won a grant from Bad Bunny + Cheetos.

    📈 Now spanning 4 chapters (and counting), CPL leads national initiatives like scholarships for DACA and undocumented students, alongside chapter-led local programs such as ESL classes in NYC, where volunteers teach English to hospitality workers—all rooted in community and courage.

    Sophia is a true model of a changemaker.

    She didn’t wait for the “right time.”

    She took the leap — before she had it all figured out.

    Tune in for a conversation that’s equal parts inspiration + strategy. Because the future of movement-building doesn’t look like a boardroom. It looks like this.

    🔑 In this episode:

    • How Corporate Pero Latinos grew from one TikTok post into a nonprofit with 20K+ supporters

    • The surprising moment that pushed Sophia to quit her 9–5 and bet on the mission

    • How they’re building wealth and giving back through a unique triple-mission model

    • The real reason “giving back” felt out of reach for so many — and what her community did instead

    • Advice for changemakers afraid of being visible online (and what to do instead)

    💥 Whether you’re building a business, nonprofit, or movement — this is your reminder that:

    You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a clear why — and people who believe in it with you.

    My Little Secret, the Big Ugly Bill, and the New System We’re Building [219]

    If you’re reeling from the political moment, you’re not alone.

    This episode is part story, part rage, part prayer for a new world — and a whole lot of power.

    Adina shares a raw, real-time reflection on the passage of the “Big Ugly Bill” — a devastating legislative attack on poor and immigrant communities — and what changemakers can do.

    While they gut the social safety net, expand ICE, and strip people of their basic rights and benefits, we’re being called to something bigger.

    Spoiler: it’s not just resistance.

    It’s about building what comes next — even when they’re successfully doing the opposite.

    You’ll hear:

    • A personal “little secret” behind the scenes of Immigrant Finance — and why it matters more now than ever

    • The role of small, often invisible actions in legacy-level change

    • A radical reframe for changemakers overwhelmed by this moment (and your role in it)

    • Why we can’t only play defense — and what it looks like to wield both the shield and the sword

    This episode is a permission slip, a rally cry, and a strategy session — for leaders, activists, and visionaries ready to build a new system rooted in purpose and power.

    Because every micro-action matters. Especially the ones no one sees.

    🔑 Takeaways:

    • Your quiet, unseen actions carry generational impact

    • We can’t save systems that were designed to harm — we’re here to build what comes next

    • You were never meant to disappear. You were meant to lead.

    This Moment Isn’t Just Political. It’s an Awakening. [218]

    If you’ve been feeling everything—grief, fear, rage, numbness—you’re not broken. You’re awake.

    In this solo episode, Adina shares a potent message for changemakers, immigrant leaders, and purpose-driven entrepreneurs navigating today’s charged political and energetic landscape. This moment isn’t just chaos—it’s an initiation. A call.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why feeling deeply right now is a sign of power, not weakness

    • How astrology is revealing the deeper truth behind this collective unrest

    • A radical reframe of what it means to lead in a collapsing world

    • Encouragement for those whose voices shake, but still speak

    • A reminder that rest is sacred—but avoidance and disappearance is not your destiny

    This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about honoring your sensitivity as strategy, and reclaiming your voice. You were born for this. And we need you—in your full, grounded, imperfect leadership—now.

    🔑 Episode Takeaways

    • Sensitivity is not a flaw—it’s an asset for systemic transformation

    • Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn are aligning to call forward emotionally intelligent leadership

    • You don’t need a five-step plan. You need to move with clarity inside the chaos

    • The mission isn’t to fix old systems. It’s to build new ones.

    ✨ What to Do Next

    Ground into your own leadership:

    • Breathe.

    • Take inventory.

    • Speak, build, and lead in the ways that feel true.

    ✨ And if you’ve been holding back - unsure how to build your soul-led changemaker brand in a moment like this -
    Start with MISSION.
    It’s the masterclass to help you find your business “thing” + set the world alight with your heart.

    For over 8 years in Immigrant Finance, we’ve guided hundreds of immigrants to become investors and wealth builders, no matter their immigration status or background.

    And here’s the key we’ve discovered: making the intentional decision to take ownership of your financial future changes everything.

    IMAGINE…
    ✨ Being the first in your family to invest, build wealth, and create a secure financial future—despite the odds stacked against you and being told it's not possible.
    ✨ Gaining confidence, peace of mind, and the ability to help your family thrive, no matter what the immigration laws say or who is president.

    THIS is the power of claiming your financial power.

    In this episode, we decided to share one of the private trainings from Immigrant Finance School® walking our students through how to break free and FINALLY claim financial power, so you can take steps toward a secure financial future, too.

    It’s time to rewrite the story. Let’s build wealth—together.

    Do you ever feel like you’re burned out, but deep down, you know there’s something more? In this episode, we explore how symptoms of burnout can sometimes be signs of a soul nudge—a call to grow and step into a new, aligned direction.

    I’ll share my personal story of navigating burnout symptoms and confusion as a nonprofit immigration attorney, how I found clarity through small steps, and how this realization has helped my clients make bigger impacts.

    If you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure of your next move, this episode is for you. Together, we’ll reframe burnout and discover how it might actually be a signal to dream bigger and realign with your purpose.

    Key Takeaways:

    210. How I overcame my fear of selling as a changemaker entrepreneur

    Change leaders and healers often feel resistance to sales because, deep down, it seems like wanting more money conflicts with our heart, values, and mission.

    We care deeply about helping others, so the idea of “selling” can feel misaligned. But this resistance can lead to a much bigger challenge: selling too little—or not at all—which means not earning enough to sustain ourselves and the impact we’re here to create.

    In this episode, I share my personal journey of transforming my relationship with sales. I went from feeling afraid to sell and guilty for wanting to make more money to building a six-figure changemaker brand that’s helped hundreds of people.

    When sales become a natural and aligned expression of your mission, everything changes.

    Let’s continue the conversation—what’s your biggest struggle with selling? Send me a message on Instagram @adinaappelbaum.

    208. SYNARCHY Manifesto

    We have entered a new era


    Societal institutions, systems, and structures

    as we know them,

    are crumbling


    We need the world’s next leaders

    to recreate, and rebuild


    A new, more welcoming world

    One we have never seen before


    One that is arriving


    From death, comes birth

    From labor pain, comes life

    From nothing, comes everything


    These leaders will be those who have always thought differently —

    By design,

    or even no choice of their own:


    The visionaries,

    Born to dream of and see in their mind’s eye all that is possible


    The entrepreneurs,

    Wired to create innovation and make the impossible real


    The immigrants,

    Steeped in experiencing different cultures, languages, and perspectives,

    all at the same time

    Who know deeply, that there cannot be just one way


    This is the moment of our lifetime

    This is when heroes are created


    We face hate, fear, and terror

    Human rights abuses at massive scale

    Families and hearts, ripped apart

    Destruction,

    The fall of Rome.


    We also, have the opportunity to reimagine.

    Rebirth.

    Rebuild.


    Renaissance.


    But first,

    A revolution.

    Through resistance.

    Activism.

    Actively answering a call to action.


    Through community,

    Choosing JOY,

    Ruling, collectively,

    With shared purpose,

    in harmony


    Together, our power will always be stronger


    Saying NO

    Claiming equal rights for ALL

    Fighting for each other,

    Person by person.


    There’s no more room for waiting

    No one is coming

    We must envision,

    demand,

    create

    freedom,

    justice,

    and equality


    With shared purpose,

    Collaboration,

    And in unity


    As an orchestra,

    A SYMPHONY.


    Together, translating vision

    into reality

    Leveraging new technology,

    Innovation,

    And equal rights,

    legally


    Coming together

    Protecting our planet,

    Our neighbors

    Building a welcoming community


    From dusk comes dawn

    From death comes rebirth

    From nothing comes everything


    From here, comes SYNARCHY
