My first Slavic guest, Olga Ivashkevich, from Minsk, contributes her interesting and hyper-aware take on "whiteness" (and its tempting yet vicious shiftiness) in the Western world, our role here as "good troublemakers," and women's status in America compared to what she saw in the Soviet countries growing up.

I'd love to hear from you. Send a text, get in touch!
