Thanks for visiting Uncharted Roots! I'm Shay, (real name Shadhaa but good luck getting anyone to ever say that), the mama behind the brand. I never thought I’d be here, but am so grateful that I am. This all started while trying to find something of my own, something outside of being a wife and a mom. I no longer knew who I was without having one of those titles. I found myself in UNCHARTED territory. For anyone that has ever been there, it can be a scary place. More than anything, it can be lonely. As I opened up to friends and other moms, I found solace and strength in our shared experiences and realized I wasn’t alone. We shared a sense of uncertainty, feeling adrift without a clear direction or identity beyond being mothers and wives. Each day was a journey, navigating the unknown, trying to understand what the future held. Yet, in our worst of times, it seemed we all found ourselves falling back on faith. Remembering who we were and where we came from. Honoring our ROOTS! Knowing there were so many others out there that felt the same way made me realize that we are a community that needs each other. This quickly became more than just a business. It became a way of reaching out to so many others with similar stories. As women, as mothers, as human beings, we all have our moments. We may not realize it, but we are all walking this journey together. Find grace for each other. Find your hope. And when all else fails and you feel lost, just remember that we may not know where we’re going, but we know where we came from.

Xoxo,
Shay
