Beauty From Ashes


I mentioned that I would share more about my trip to Ukraine in March and April.  I think the thing that stands out the most to me is how resilient, strong, brave and relentless the Ukrainian people actually are! Many people have opinions about what is happening in this war, but I want to let these two videos that I shot speak for themselves. They are a couple of incredible women and a small slice of their stories...

I encountered so many internally and externally displaced Ukrainians and one thing that I came away with is that they are turning their ashes into something powerful and beautiful.  I hope you take time to view the videos as I believe they will touch your heart and give you a personal perspective on this terrible and unjust war.
