We bought ballistic underwear | Olia Hercules

While Olia's brother was getting ready to fight in Ukraine, strangers from all over the world stepped in.

Ukrainian chef, activist and author, Olia Hercules, shares what the generosity of strangers has done for her family, and what those closer to home have done for her sense of community. These are magical stories of collective good, and this episode is all about seeing that in others, and finding connection through kindness.

Thanks so much for being here!


Olia's latest book is called Strong Roots. I would strongly recommend you give it a read!
