XXXIІI Конвенція СУА 127 The last Convention of the UNWLA, in June 2021, took place some nine months after our flagship publication was re-designed and seven months after I became the magazine’s editor-in-chief. The magazine had a fresh, modern look, with a greater emphasis on visuals and a renewed focus on the publication’s mission: to report on the important work of the UNWLA, its branches and members, and the impact of these activities; to celebrate the achievements of our members and of accomplished Ukrainian women worldwide; and to share Ukraine’s rich culture and fascinating history. The refreshed magazine retained its recurring features — including the President’s message, Scholarship and UNWLA donations, Dr. Magun’s popular Our Health column, Нашим дітям (children’s pages), and Наше харчування (recipes) — and added a new feature on the Ukrainian Museum, with information about the Museum’s latest exhibitions, events, and public programs. Our July-August 2022 issue reported on the Museum’s 45th anniversary celebrations and on the institution’s changing of the guard: the retirement of longtime Director Maria Shust and the hiring of a new Director, Peter Doroshenko. We also continued to report extensively on UNWLA news and initiatives, such as leadership changes, the formation of the new Fundraising and Advocacy committees, and President Natalie Pawlenko’s VidViddil campaign, which saw her visiting over 50 branches (and hoping to visit many more). Branch events, among them a number of milestone branch anniversaries, have been a staple of the magazine, as have articles about the many accomplishments of our members and Ukrainian women worldwide. In each year’s November issue, we honor the memory of the millions of Ukrainian men, women, and children who perished during the 1932–1933 Holodomor, and at the same time report on the UNWLA’s and the greater community’s efforts to educate non-Ukrainians about the genocide and to have it recognized officially. And every August, we celebrate Ukraine’s renewed independence. In our August 2021 issue, we marked the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence with several special features: an interview with Professor Serhii Plokhy of Harvard University, conducted by Nadia McConnell, the co-founder and President of the U.S.–Ukraine Foundation; and memoirs by Ukrainian journalist Olha Herasymiuk and by our frequent contributors Irene Jarosewich and Marta Zielyk. Then came February 24, 2022. The focus of Наше життя / Our Life changed markedly with russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. Since that time, our priority has been to report on the effects of the war on Ukrainians of all ages and across all segments of society. Every issue has included extensive information about the many UNWLA initiatives undertaken to help the victims of the war, with humanitarian aid targeted at children, orphans, widows, refugees, wounded and displaced civilians, and, of course, Ukraine’s courageous troops. We have reported proudly on the millions of dollars of life-saving medical equipment and other supplies shipped to Ukrainian hospitals and front lines thanks to the support of our members and partner organizations, and have equally proudly told the stories of the selfless individuals who distribute these supplies under the most dangerous conditions. We have described the hundreds of fundraisers organized by our branches and members as well as the work of countless volunteers in Ukraine whose efforts are alleviating the suffering of our fellow Ukrainians. We have heralded the intense advocacy undertaken by UNWLA members on behalf of Ukraine and its cultural heritage — a heritage that russia set out to deny. We have featured heroes from Ukraine’s armed forces on several covers — mothers, fathers, and severely wounded veterans who are recovering thanks to the UNWLA’s support. And in a small but not insignificant gesture, in August 2022 — the 31st anniversary of Ukraine’s independence, an anniversary that russia had ROMANA LABROSSE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ / OUR LIFE
