Twenty years ago, a university student in Chernivtsi had an idea: Wear your vyshyvanka to class. Not to a festival. Not to a wedding. Just to class. On a regular Thursday. Because traditional clothing shouldn’t only come out for celebrations. It should be lived in. That simple idea became a global movement. Today, Vyshyvanka Day is celebrated by Ukrainians all around the world, More than clothing, a vyshyvanka carries history, identity, and generations of tradition. Every pattern tells a story. Every stitch carries meaning. Today, wearing it is not just culture. It’s remembrance, pride, and resilience. #vyshyvankaday

Три роки тому я стояла тут і співала гімн України. Тоді минув лише один рік повномасштабної війни. Сьогодні -чотири. Я живу в Україні. Я чую вибухи. Я бачу, як ця війна змінює людей навколо мене. І я не можу мовчати. Не має значення, який у тебе паспорт або колір шкіри. Коли ти живеш тут і проживаєш цю війну разом з людьми це стає твоїм болем і твоєю боротьбою. Як сказано в гімні Україна вистояла. І вистоїть. 🇺🇦 І я стоятиму з Україною все життя.

I decided to be more intentional about the Ukrainian language 🇺🇦 and invest more in learning it. When I arrived 8 years ago, I studied Russian. But after the full-scale invasion, I understood the importance of amplifying Ukrainian -both among Ukrainians and foreigners. In Ukraine, the mother tongue is Ukrainian. It’s more than just a language. It’s history, culture, and identity. So I decided to truly invest time, energy and money in learning it. If you’re a foreigner living here like me, take time to learn it. Even a little at a time. I’ve started taking classes, and I’ll be sharing my progress with you all. This language will not be forgotten 🇺🇦

I have spent the entire nights in a shelter In Kyiv, entire nights Listening to explosions, feeling the walls shake, praying that this wasn't my last day. And then I wake up to comments saying they 'don't believe the Western media, that what's happening in Ukraine isn't real." Do you know how annoying that is? How painful it feels to read something so careless after watching fear, chaos, and destruction with my own eyes? Kyiv my city have massively attacked severally. not military bases, not empty fields. Residential buildings. Schools. Homes. Hit with cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and Shahed drones actual weapons designed to kiII destroy, erase. People woke up today homeless. Injured. Traumatized. Some didn't wake up at all. And here, a Nigerian woman living in Kyiv, standing in front of you with my own voice and my own experience telling you the truth: Nothing about this is propaganda. Nothing about this is exaggerated. Everything the media shows you is happening right here, right now. Before you dismiss someone's suffering because it doesn't fit your worldview, remember this: We are living this in real time. We are surviving what others only debate online. Have some humanity.

I actually did a thing where I combined the two patterns (Ukrainian/ Nigerian ) although the Nigerian one is not so traditional because traditionally women do not wear pants but as you know there is now a modern twist to everything. So it’s basically a pant made out of our traditional fabric.

A Russian drone hit the building where my friend lived just a few steps from my home. That’s when I realized: there are no “safe cities” in Ukraine.🇺🇦 We chose that area because we thought a rural part of Kyiv would be safer. My friend almost lost her life. People tell me to “mind my business.” And that this is not my fight But when this becomes your reality, silence is not an option. I will keep speaking until Russian aggression ends and Ukraine is free.
