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".

"How Do We Date Healthy?!" | #UprootYourThoughts w/ Awot Mekonnen

Hey, Uprooted Fam 👋🏾 thank you for tuning into ‘Uproot Your Thoughts’ on the Uprooted Network. This is the segment where we examine our lives, thoughts, and 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 this week's episode Hanna, or Rutha as the fam calls her, dives into a deep conversation with her amazing friend Awot. The two have connected over clubhouse the last few years, and have spent much time curiously trying to understand relationships and people. For this convo they dig around the journey of dating, being in relationships, and the work of communication necessary for healthy ones. Hopefully, you walk away from this convo reflecting on your wants and needs in relationships with a new language to express them.

Let us know what part spoke to you in the comments ❤️
