Only a few details of his death have been released. Officials say he collapsed after going for a walk. His wife believes he was killed by Vladimir Putin. Navalny who made global headlines when he was poisoned with nerve agent in 2020 encouraged Russians “not to give up” in the event of his death.

Two years on, the war in Ukraine continues, with cities subjected to relentless shelling every day. Peaceful homes and everyday infrastructure are being destroyed. People are forced to flee their homes, to save their children and themselves. Ukraine’s economy is being depleted, making survival increasingly difficult with each passing day.
Two years ago, when the war began, the world shook and rallied much effort to support Ukrainians. But our lives go on, unlike theirs. We grow accustomed to the news of war and shift our focus to our own pursuits. Today, on the grim days of the second anniversary of the invasion, it’s a good occasion to remember that Ukrainians still need our support.
Help Ukraine Center (@help_ukraine_center) is an organization Sting and I have been supporting since the start of the war. They have been receiving humanitarian aid shipments since the early days of the war and transporting them to Ukraine. The company has proven its reliability. Now is the time to support Help Ukraine, which aids displaced persons, medical professionals, volunteers, and ordinary Ukrainians. See how you can help at the link in bio.

This week for #femalefilmmakerfriday, I’m highlighting @emma.westenburg for her debut feature film #BleedingLoveMovie!
Emma trained at Rietveld Academy and the Cooper Union School of Art in NYC, where she developed her style of blending classic visual tropes, fashion, and fine art influences into her work. Her ability to shoot critically acclaimed, style-centric content, while remaining accessible to a diverse audience has made her a go-to director for musical artists, fashion labels, and globally recognized brands alike. In 2016, Emma was awarded Best New Fashion Film for ‘Blue and You’ at the Fashion Film Festival in Milan, and her work on Janelle Monet’s “Pynk” landed a Grammy nomination for Best Music Video in 2018.
Her debut feature, Bleeding Love, centres around a father who secretly drives his estranged daughter to rehab after she overdoses, aware that she has inherited his addiction problems, and after he has started a new family elsewhere. Along the way they meet all types of strangers, as their strained relationship is put to the test. Congratulations on your first feature Emma! I can’t wait to see how your beautiful and unique style translates to the big screen!

👁 The Visionary: Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq @angaangaq_. Presented by @trudiestyler
‘An innovative thinker who can see the path to a better world“
The Visionary honour goes to Angaangaq Angakkorsuaq, Inuit Kalaallit elder and storyteller from Greenland and carrier of the Qilaut (wind drum). As a advocate for the environment and Indigenous issues, he has lectured and participated in events in 70 countries in the world. His spiritual task – given by his mother – is to “melt the ice in the heart of men”.
It may be difficult to grasp and we tend to shut down when we hear scientists tells us that today the Greenland ice cap is losing an average of 30m tonnes of ice an hour due to the climate crisis, melting faster than most scientists predicted.
As Angaangaq says: We can’t plant ice – when it’s gone it’s gone. But we can protect it.
