Episode Description
In this moving episode, we hear directly about the raw and heart-wrenching challenges faced by Ukrainian youth amidst the ongoing war. I spoke with Alexandra Chernomashyntseva and Marharyta Kurbanova, two women from Ukraine, who share their experiences working with young people in the war-torn regions.
We learn about a new kind of resilience and courage in these youth as they navigate trauma and displacement. Through art camps and community support, Alexandra and Marharyta are showing up in profound ways for Ukraine's next generation.
(As I’m traveling this summer, I’ve shifted the focus of this podcast to highlight some of the amazing people I’ve been meeting as I teach and travel. Time Zones and technical glitches have held us up for a few weeks, but we hope to get back on track and I’ll be home in mid-September!)
