This is a picture of one of the greatest Ukrainian women in the world. She is my Assistant Director, not only is she that but she always had my back and supported me. She taught me Ukrainian and always empowered me to do my best. She was one of my many counterparts. She also is my Ukrainian mother, who always knew and still knows what to say. She's a great educator and an example of some of the amazing people that are in Ukraine that are trying to make it better. She's warm and funny, and always knew what to say and how to say it.
