When Dasha moved to the US from Ukraine it was not a choice she made on her own. Crimea, the region she called home, had been annexed by Russia and it was not a peaceful takeover. In the years following, Dasha lived her life like the daughter of a politician running on an "anti-corruption" campaign. When the campaign took a turn, she was sent to the US and landed in Decatur, Georgia. In the subsequent years, she moved to Boston and then NYC. This interview took place in her room in Manhattan where we meet for the second time, and she shares with me her story.
