Welcome to Uprooted, a space for the ignored and disenfranchised to feel seen and reroot themselves. My name is Hanna Rutha and I created Uprooted because I don't always feel seen in the places I occupy. As an ethnic Tigrayan living in the US, the immigrant label was the one that shaped my life the most. I lived in two worlds all the time and it was completely jarring. Uprooted peels back the real layers of what it means to be removed from the home you were supposed to be born to and find a way to replant yourselves. We're here to support one another as we "find our way back home".

"Breaking the Mold" | #UprootYourThoughts w/ Louis Keyamo Johnson

Hey, Uprooted Fam 👋🏾 thank you for tuning into ‘Uproot Your Thoughts’ on the Uprooted Network. This is the segment where we get to examine our lives, our thoughts, and our trauma as we build the bridge to the lives we want to live. Because we often form our beliefs and thoughts from what we see and hear this space focuses on pulling out the negative and rerooting ourselves in positivity. In today’s episode Hanna, or as the fam knows her as Rutha dives into a deep conversation with Louis Keyamo Johnson - UNITE Co-Founder/ Executive Director. Louis Johnson is a Bay Area Native. He loves to engage in scientific research, tutor students in STEAM topics, and hang out with family and friends.
