Hi, I'm Veronica!

I'm Veronica—a last-generation Soviet girl, first-generation American, and Oklahoman with a lifetime of stories to tell.

At 15, I left my family and my country to begin a new life in America. Since then, life has taken me across cultures, through unexpected challenges, and into more than a few stories I never imagined I'd be telling someday.

Today, I use storytelling, clean comedy, heartfelt poetry, and faith to encourage people to see their own lives a little differently.

Because I've learned something along the way:

Your story doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful. CAPITALIZED WORD

Speaking

I speak to women's groups, churches, ministries, and organizations about courage, identity, faith, and finding freedom from the things that hold us back.

My Book

Untold Stories of a Soviet Girl: Control to Freedom tells the stories behind my journey—from growing up in the Soviet Union to starting over in America and eventually confronting the cultural inferiority I didn't realize I was carrying.

A Little More About Me

I've performed clean stand-up comedy, written poetry, made people laugh online, taught children, encouraged nursing home residents, and spoken to audiences across the United States.

Different places. Different people. Same purpose:

To leave people a little more encouraged than I found them.
