"When something affects one Ukrainian, it affects all of us. It doesn't matter where we live, whether we are in Ukraine or out of Ukraine." - Tetyana Denford, The Tenderness Revolution.
We are thrilled to announce that we’re launching S2 of The Tenderness Revolution podcast with a special edition episode. In this shorter than usual interview, we highlight the profound words of the brilliant Ukrainian American author and journalist Tetyana Denford. She speaks openly and honestly about the brutal war in Ukraine. Growing up in New York, immersed in the Ukrainian culture of her parents and ancestors, Tetyana witnessed their traditions and stories as a means of understanding herself and the world around her. This helped shape her career as a writer and journalist and her identity as a Ukrainian American woman. Today, she is a crucial voice in the media commenting on the brutal war in Ukraine. Her book, Motherland, is the story of a family secret told through the lives of a Ukrainian couple fleeing the Second World War.
Tetyana's honest conversation about the events happening in our world is an important one that we felt we needed to have. We hope you listen to what she says about the events shaping history right this very moment.
