About Kate
I’m a Ukrainian woman living through a time I wish none of us had to witness. When the war began, everything changed — my plans, my priorities, my sense of safety. But somewhere in the middle of fear, grief, and uncertainty, I found words. Writing became a way to survive — and now, perhaps, a way to help others survive too.
I don’t believe in pretending everything’s fine when it’s not — but I do believe that even in the darkest hours, there is a light worth searching for. Sometimes it lives in the smallest things: the warmth of a morning ritual, the quiet of yoga at sunrise, a walk through a familiar street, or a chipped mug that feels like home.
