As we all watch this horror play out from the safety of wherever we are, we may feel lost and unsure of what we can do. This is of course normal. I have had so many friends, family and colleagues reach out asking what they can do to Stand With Ukraine.
In this special episode, I share my personal story and connection to Ukraine and provide options for you to take action and help Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
The only way this war ends is if we all #standwithukraine.
Дякую! (Thank you!)
Слава Україні! (Glory to Ukraine)
