Our Life | Наше життя 10 A New Author Among Us by Natalie Santarsiero President, Branch 136, Naples, FL As a founding member of UNWLA Branch 136 in Naples, Florida, Valentina “Valia” Dmitri has served our Branch well for the past five years as press secretary and public relations liaison. Her radiant smile, optimistic attitude, and her willingness to participate and contribute are indeed appreciated in our quest to enrich our southwest Florida community with continuing education programs political, historical, and cultural in nature. Through her professional and social contacts, she was instrumental in bringing presentations of the film “Women of Maidan” to the Center for Lifelong Learning at Hodges University, as well as to Arbor Trace Senior Living Center, both in Naples. These presentations and discussions were well attended and well received! Our Branch is very pleased and proud to an- nounce that Valia has become a published au- thor. On June 15, 2020, her book “Finally Free: Rising Above Emotional Entrapment” was pub- lished after her long commitment to tell her story. An educator, writer, transformational coach, and seminar leader, Valia has a passion and de- sire to help others who suffer from deeply im- bedded personal pain. In her book, Valia shares vignettes from her own life to demonstrate how our self-defeating beliefs influence our behaviors. As a child, her perception of being kidnapped, and then abandoned, left her trau- matized. However, as she matured and grew in understanding, she came to the conclusion that all of us are always children at heart. We carry that vulnerable child within us along with our hopes, joys, fears, sorrows, insecurities, and unfulfilled dreams. She writes, “I discovered that there was in me an invincible summer and that we are all powerful beyond belief.” Join Valia on her journey through self- discov- ery and personal transformation. Her book is available on Amazon and at Barnes and Noble. The first chapter of her book can be read on her website, www.swingstarseminars.com, where you can click on a link to purchase the book. Congratulations, Valia! Your sister Soyuzanky wish you much success in your venture as an author!
