Each episode of the ”Start with Your Name” podcast features an immigrant / refugee / asylum-seeker who is starting from scratch and forging a new life in a land far from their own. The podcast offers each guest an opportunity to delve into their past and describe the circumstances that led them to make this change in their lives. The episodes afford you a moment to listen and hopefully to gain a better understanding of the immigrant / refugee experience. At a time when millions are being forced from their homes due to war, climate change and/or oppression, this is an opportunity to get to know someone from an entirely different culture who’s made a great sacrifice in search of a better life for themselves and their families. With each episode, we discuss practical day-to-day challenges and trials, while also leaving room for the guests to share what it’s like to leave everything behind and begin again. ”Start with Your Name” is created, hosted and produced by Lee Kaplan.

Episode 11: "Lina Part II"

"Here. Now." This is the meaning of the tattoo that Lina bears on her right arm and the mantra that guided her through her journey away from Kyiv.
We resume Lina's story as she's fleeing her home. It's February 2022 and the war in Ukraine has begun. Lina is headed west with a group of others she's just met in a bomb shelter in Kyiv. We follow her journey into Poland and, ultimately, to the Netherlands, where she contends with insomnia, an unexpected confrontation with a fellow Ukrainian and her desire to help those in need.
Theme song by Oleksandr Savochka
Additional music by: Zakhar Valaha, Oleksii Kaplunskyi, Yevhenii Kovalenko, olexandrmusic, Denys Kyshchuk & Aleksey Chistilin
