Behind the Scenes of 2021 Ukrainian Heritage Calendar - Ivanna Martinez’s Story

Ivanna is featured on August`s page of the 2021 Ukrainian Heritage calendar. This is her story:

Each item of clothing used in the 2021 Ukrainian Heritage Calendar has a centuries-old history and points to the richness of Ukrainian culture.  It's a wonderful feeling when you see these clothes in person and feel them on yourself, because they are so unique and it took so much work to create them.  When I was wearing the clothes I felt very feminine and there was a feeling of pride for the richness of my Ukrainian culture.  I would like to get such an incredible opportunity to experience Ukrainian heritage more than once.
