Coffee, war & identity

Episode 3 of my English-language podcast Identity Talks is now live.

This time I sit down with Vadym Granovskiy, a Ukrainian coffee entrepreneur who turned coffee into cultural diplomacy, resilience, and identity during the war.

We talk about: • coffee as soft power and mental stability ☕ • dual identity between Ukraine and Britain • Ukraine’s 400-year coffee heritage • how culture survives war • what it means to represent Ukraine abroad • and the emergence of a global Ukrainian identity 🇺🇦

If you’re interested in identity, diaspora stories, or how culture becomes resistance, this episode might resonate.
