The most famous psychologist of Ukraine – Natalia Kholodenko made an incredible event by singing together with the famous American singer Katie Sledge, the soloist of the legendary band Sister Sledge. This was the first time in Katie's career when she sang in a duet with someone other than her sisters. Kholodenko told about this on her Instagram, noting that for her it was simply a fantastic experience, notes IZ.
“For me, this is just a fantastic event, and I probably wouldn't do this for myself. That is, just for myself, for, as they say, just for fun, you wouldn't do such things. Because this is a journey, this is one big test,” shared Natalia.
She also noted that she does not communicate in English at the proper level, although she is actively working on improving her language skills.
However, the event itself had not only cultural significance, but also an important mission. Kholodenko hopes that through a joint performance with Katie Slage they will be able to warm up the topic of support for Ukraine in the world, because the United States, as a democratic country, has a huge influence on political decisions.
“I hope that we will warm up the topic of love and support for Ukraine, because after all, America is a democratic country, and here public opinion has a great influence on officials,” the psychologist emphasized.
Natalia also noted that in times of war, it is important for Ukraine not to give up, but to fight for its country and its future. She encourages all Ukrainians to stay strong and support each other.
“Not taking a position, you know, some kind of position – what can we do? Everyone has to do something for us, but we can't do anything. Now our fate is being decided, and each of us decides it with our own thoughts, our own actions,” Kholodenko emphasized.
As part of this initiative, she proposed a “challenge” to record the song “We Are Family” and share it on her social platforms. The idea is for people from different countries, language groups, and cultures to come together to support Ukraine.
“We are all one big family, and now our family is going through grief. Therefore, it is important to remind everyone that we should support each other, and not compete in whose trouble is greater,” added Natalia.
According to Kholodenko, this challenge is reminiscent of the famous Ice Bucket Challenge, which has become popular around the world. She calls on everyone to join the campaign and spread the message of support for Ukraine around the world, noting this in publications with Katie Sledge.
“We can do this together, we can show the power of our unity,” Natalia Kholodenko emphasized the importance of support.
The joint performance of Natalia Kholodenko and Katie Sledge was an important step in supporting Ukraine on the international stage. This event not only showed the power of cultural unity, but also emphasized the importance of every voice in the fight for peace and freedom. The idea of the “We Are Family” challenge offers an opportunity for all those who care to join the action and demonstrate unity and solidarity with Ukraine to the world. Through creativity and mutual support, according to Kholodenko, it is possible to change the course of events and draw attention to the importance of helping Ukraine in this difficult time.
