In this conversation, Dr. Ortega and Doctora Yanira Hernandez explore the themes of healing, identity, and resilience within immigrant families. They discuss the challenges faced by first-generation professionals, particularly in academia, and the feelings of imposter syndrome that often accompany their journeys. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and recognizing the systemic issues that contribute to feelings of inadequacy. Ultimately, they advocate for a shift in mindset from viewing oneself as an imposter to recognizing the strength in being an infiltrator within spaces not designed for them.

Rooted in Resilience: Uplifting Black Mothers through Community & Care

Season 2 · Episode 8

Monday, June 9, 2025 • Duration 23:22

Send us a text

In this heartfelt episode of the Palante Nonprofits Podcast, Dr. Andrea Ortega sits down with Mama Yata, founder of Melanin Mothers Meet (M3), a grassroots nonprofit rooted in Tallahassee, Florida that provides postpartum empowerment, wellness support, and a culturally grounded community for Black mothers. Mama Yada shares how her own joyful but rare postpartum experience inspired her to create a space where rest, care, and sisterhood could become the norm—not the exception. What began as intimate healing circles in a bookstore evolved into a robust organization offering virtual sessions, empowerment strategy coaching, and community-centered events.

The conversation dives into the realities of building a nonprofit as a one-woman show, the learning curve of navigating funding, and the challenges of integrating data and evaluation in a space built on trust and lived experience. Mama Yada opens up about the emotional labor of the work, the importance of meeting mothers where they are (literally, at parks or homes), and the deep personal rewards—like a mom telling her, "Because of you, I didn’t feel invisible." This episode is a celebration of grassroots leadership, healing justice, and the power of showing up, even without perfect resources or roadmaps.

Donde el Gobierno No Llega: Nonprofits Show Up

Season 2 · Episode 7

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 • Duration 14:26

Send us a text

In this solo episode, I speak candidly from the heart about the current state of the nonprofit sector — a space I’ve dedicated my life to.

I share why I’m proud of the work we do, why I’m frustrated with the systemic barriers we face, and why I still believe in the power and promise of nonprofit leadership.

From filling critical gaps in public services to holding up communities that are too often overlooked, nonprofits are not just supporting — we’re leading.

But as funding becomes more uncertain, expectations rise, and political pressure mounts, we need to talk about what’s really happening behind the scenes.

This is more than a sector. It’s a movement.
Let’s talk about where we go from here.
