Post by Katie Chatterton, MBA

I keep thinking my thoughts will come together on this…. or a breakthrough will happen… and then I’ll have something “better” to say. Everyday, I ‘comment for reach’, and react to posts that are telling on-the-ground stories from Ukraine… in hopes that YOU, my personal network will see again, the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine. As the shelling continues, my speechlessness does too. I can’t bring myself to make sense of it. There is so little to say. And yet, I’m not the type to stay silent. My gifts skew heavily toward encouragement and affirmation. So this post is simply to keep Ukraine in front of the conversation, to affirm the battle, devastation, and pain. To let a few of my brave and strong colleagues like Ilias, Iryna, Dmytro, Andrii, & Dmitry (and so many others!) know that I see you everyday. I am 💔 heartbroken for every loss you are enduring, and I am rallying support for you every way I know how. The world is a better and brighter place because of you, and I know each of you will pull through in your own incredible way. Like one of my absolute best, favorite, wonderful, Ukrainian sisters told me this week… “I have no words, but I will stay strong.” Stay Strong Ukraine!! ✌️💙🇺🇦💛 #standwithukraine #staywithukraine #standwithpeace
