The U-Triumph Podcast will share success stories that will encourage people, especially those from diverse backgrounds, not just to aspire to climb the ladder but to become the ladder.
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.

About this episode
Some people wait until they’ve “made it” to give back. Denise Myers never waited.
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.
