Today on the  CO-XST: The podcast, we speak with Iryna Mylyanovska – a resident of Ukraine currently living in Kiev with her family.

 

Amidst the troubling war and between the bombs and explosions of what is now everyday life, this beautiful woman and brave Ukrainian chose to plan her wedding and marry the love of her life while providing a day of celebration for those that needed it most — her friends and family. A time to connect with loved ones, laugh, indulge, and dance the night away for just one night – choosing family, love, and her country rather than crossing the border to “safer” territories.⁠

 

On this podcast, Iryna speaks of the bravery of the country as a whole and the fight of their life for freedom.⁠ This one holds close to our hearts.⁠
