Nana interviewed over 30 women from the continent of Africa and the diaspora for the book, and they came from a wide variety of identities and lifestyles.

Ukraine Under Attack: Journalist Turns Soldier with Yuriy Matsarsky
2 RecommendationsFor the 80th episode of Private Parts Unknown, hosts Courtney Kocak and Sofiya Alexandra are joined by Ukrainian journalist and radio host turned civilian soldier Yuriy Matsarsky (Юрій Мацарський), currently fighting in a Territorial Defense Unit in Kyiv.
He touches on why he left his life in Moscow, what the daily life of a newly minted civilian soldier’s like, propaganda’s effect on his former journalist colleagues, and the difference between actually helping Ukraine and just performing (hint: turns out Facebook statuses are not that helpful, wow who knew). Plus, excerpts from his frontline podcast Fighting for Ukraine and poignant stories of Ukrainians banding together to resist Russia’s invasion (one includes soup!).
Слава Україні! Героям cлава! Cмерть ворогам!
