✨Some people wait until they’ve “made it” to give back. Denise Myers never waited.   In this episode of The U-Triumph Podcast, I sat down with the unstoppable Founder of Evenfields Careers, Evenfields Community, and the Black Talent Awards - three platforms built not just to celebrate talent, but to elevate it.   Denise didn’t set out to be a recruiter, a founder, or a changemaker. But after seeing how biased and broken recruitment systems could be - especially for people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds - she decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix it.   And she’s been building better ever since. In our conversation, we spoke about: 🔍 Challenging bias and “culture fit” in recruitment practices 💥 The emotional weight of being underemployed - and the power of rebuilding confidence 🏆 The vision behind the Black Talent Awards, and why recognition can be revolutionary 💡 What it means to create not just access, but safe, empowering spaces to thrive Denise’s journey is about grit, purpose, and a refusal to let others define your limits. But more than that - it’s about how ordinary people can create extraordinary change when they choose to lead with impact.   Thanks to our sponsors - PLG Consultants, Harrison Associates, Moore Barlow Lawyers, The Stephen James Partnership, and RADIO JACKIE.
