Nadia is a 37-year-old woman who has pursued a career in law. She lives downtown, in a two-bedroom apartment that overlooks the North Saskatchewan River. Her parents, who are Ukrainian immigrants, have instilled in Nadia a deep respect for their homeland. She wants to connect with the Ukraine and found out about this project. She speaks Ukrainian fluently, but cannot write it very well. Natalie Kononenko approached her to work on this project through her mother who contributed to the audio. Nadia checks out three clips that reminded her of her childhood, a lullaby, and two legends (“The little Ox” and “Tom-thumb”).  She will listen, translate and transcribe them. This project will bring her closer to the country that her parents were born in.
