As a child, Olga faced tremendous anxiety. It challenged even her breathing. This anxiety carried growing up into young adulthood. Negative self-talk influenced her sense of confidence, along with her ability to break free in dance. For most of her life, she has been unable to move as she would like. In 2020, Olga has changed the narrative, breaking free; consistently challenging self-doubt.
Olga is a pillar of our community, helping build the Dork Dancing community from the ground up. She takes jaw-dropping photos, leads the CALL US MENTAL photo-storytelling project, and hosts VEGAN Dork Dinners too. She is helping us break free and to love ourselves and each other more. She extends her care and compassion to the world around us, fighting for animal welfare & environmental justice.
