UKRAINE
Olena Zelenska
For being a bright light for her country in a time of darkness.
Before her husband was elected president of Ukraine in 2019, Olena Zelenska studied architecture and was a comedy writer. As First Lady, her focus shifted to school nutrition reform, gender equality, and organizing an international summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen.
In February of last year, when Russia invaded Ukraine, she pivoted once again, advocating for her people on the global stage, spearheading rehabilitation projects, and working to project strength and empathy. She's absorbed countless stories of tragedy, each more harrowing than the last, but these stories are what propel her forward, she says.
"In a local hospital, a Ukrainian mother met four children whose father was killed during Russian shellings. He had raised them alone, and now they lost him as well. So this young mother of two children took in four more," Zelenska says. "This story reflects Ukraine and its women. They respond to losses and grief by expressing love and doing good. When you see a Ukrainian woman somewhere in the world, remember what she stands for.
She is a person from a country fighting for its life and knows the value of it like no other. Our current experience is how we influence others, but I would not wish anyone to become a hero at the price we all pay." -MELISSA GIANNINI
