She spent 50 years collecting outrageous stories from survivors of Soviet & Nazi oppression, including her family. She is a former Features writer for The Winnipeg Gazette and instructor for the Victoria School of Writing. Her poetry was chosen by national Ukrainian magazine Nasha Doroha to commemorate the Chornobyl disaster. She attended classes at Winnipeg's Ukrainian National Home throughout childhood. Raisa's passion for promoting Ukrainian culture comes not only from its proud richness. Her father was the only member of his family to escape Stalinist Ukraine. He then landed in a Nazi labor camp, from where he was liberated to Canada. Raisa is a professional singer, storyteller & Animal Intuitive. Chicken Soup for the Soul regularly publishes her stories. She is also the author of Rosie's Rescue, a book based upon the Ukrainian creation myth.
