Off The Record With Suzy Delaney
Telling women's stories empowers all of us. Our voices carry, and when we use them, we help each other. The first three episodes follow Marina and her family as they emigrated from Kyiv, Ukraine to the United States at the height of the cold war in the 1970s. This is a story of one family's struggle for a better life and the American dream. It was a difficult path, fraught with peril. You'll hear of the KGB separating 7-year old Marina from her family to question her, and about the people that preyed on naive immigrants on their way to America. A million things could have gone wrong along the way, and nearly did. Join Marina and Suzy for a tale that spans the decades and personifies the strength of family, womanhood, and the American dream.
