Ukrainian Marine channeling courage

From what I’ve learned, this Ukrainian Marine lost her leg while bravely defending her homeland. Now, she’s channeling that same courage into a new mission raising global awareness about the vital role of medical brigades and the urgent need to deliver lifesaving medical supplies to the frontlines. I hope to meet her during my time in Ukraine, hear her story firsthand, and help share it with the world. @Tatou_Ania @DataRepublican @TPASarah @teamfroglogic

Maidan Kyiv Wall
Behind the Scenes

Maidan Kyiv Wall

Back down the Maidan Kyiv history lane. I stood in silence before the wall, its cold stone heavy with names that told a story few outside this country fully understand. Many people believe the war in Ukraine began in 2022. They think it started with missiles, tanks, and the full-scale invasion. But the truth is, it started years earlier — in the cold streets of Kyiv, during the Maidan uprising and the fall of Viktor Yanukovych. When the barricades burned and the first gunshots echoed through the square, the war didn’t end with a political victory. It only changed shape. Behind me stretched a memorial unlike any I had ever seen. A wall filled with faces, names, dates. Over 10,000 Ukrainian defenders had been killed between 2014 and 2022, fighting a war the world barely noticed at the time. Farmers turned soldiers. Teachers turned medics. Students turned fighters. @DataRepublican @cali_doge @GrumpyTechBro @wcdispatch @StrykerFromFL Full Story below on dmedia link https://dmedia.ai/back-down-the-maidan-kyiv-history-lane…

Our Children Thrive with our Love

@DataRepublican, I promised you a story from Ukraine about the def community, and this one stayed with me. Meet Olea, an 8-year-old with a bright smile and a presence far bigger than her years. Her parents told me they work extra jobs just to afford her sign-language school. For the first three years of her life, they didn’t even know she was deaf. When the doctor finally told them, the news hit hard. Fear, confusion, and grief came all at once. But they didn’t stop there, they adapted, learned, and fought for her future. Today, Olea is thriving. She communicates with confidence, joy, and pride. She even became the youngest person to sign my flag here in Ukraine. We took a selfie together, and Olea wanted you to know something important. With her hands, her smile, and her heart, she sent you this message: “We love you, Jennica.” @data_republican @DataInterpretr @DefiyantlyFree @cali_doge @StealthMedical1 @wcdispatch

Interviews about a harsh truth comming soon

In the coming months, I’ll be releasing one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever worked on along with video interviews featuring Ukrainian women who opened up about a harsh truth: they feel they have almost no future and barely any place in society. I told them about Jennica Pounds @DataRepublican, in the United States how a woman with no vocal cords became one of the most commanding and influential voices in the conservative movement. A living reminder that silence doesn’t mean powerlessness. Stay tuned. This story is going to shake people. @data_republican @DataInterpretr
