It's #VyshyvankaDay for Ukrainians around the world. Vyshyvanka is more than beautiful embroidery. It holds our stories. It connects us to the past, our ancestors, and each other. At a time when the russian terrorist state seeks to erase us, I wear my Vyshyvanky with extra pride.

That said, my heart is extra heavy today. I'm really looking forward to being with my community at Freedom Salon / Салон Волі, as well as at the various rallies & vigils happening on Sunday & Monday. In fact, I'll be singing the Ukrainian anthem at the UBC USU vigil on 2/24.
