Speaker 1:

What is your message to the people who are watching this video? Don't try to become someone else. Stay with yourself. Stay as a Ukrainian, speak Ukrainian at home. I don't want to lose my authenticity, my identity.

Speaker 2:

It's not just that. I made the information, threw it in the stories and you think that you have 10 thousand subscribers and I will share this information.

Speaker 1:

You will fill yourself with space, it will be interesting with you and then people will get attached. Success is keeping attention on your product, on your brand, on your person. This is success.

Speaker 2:

Oksana, thank you for coming to the Cossack Talks podcast, where we invite successful Ukrainians, Ukrainians who became entrepreneurs in Great Britain, who started a business, who have already become professionals in this country by the British standard, and also community leaders, Ukrainians who are already from various organizations here, who support the Ukrainian diaspora or Ukrainian organizations here in Great Britain. Thank you for coming to Kozak Talks to tell your story in Britain, because you've been living here. For how long? Three years, right? Yes, I've been living here for three years.

Speaker 2:

You've been living here for three years. Okay, let's get started, but when I start, I want to ask you a couple of questions. It might be an iceberg. I want to break you down for you to understand. Yes, let's do it. I want to tell you that Oksana has already invited me to her. She also has a YouTube channel and she invited me to do two interviews with me, so I asked Sonia to do it. She told me about herself and and what was the balance? Doma, I have a first question for you. What is the?

Speaker 1:

main, or surprising thing you learned about British culture after moving here. Well, first of all, greetings to the viewers and listeners. Sasha yes, listeners, I am very glad to come here to your Cossack Talks.

Speaker 2:

Thank you.

Speaker 1:

I really appreciate your work because it is somehow overshadowed. I also work with information. I know that it takes a lot of time and it is a lot of work. Thank, you.

Speaker 1:

So it's great that you do this. Thank you for the invitation. What I felt when I came to Britain well, first of all, it's this kind of a different path. You know, when the family is so close to you and the royal family and all these British rich lords, these lords' palaces, these mighty lords, these carriage-loads, it's a bit like something more beautiful, more pompous, I would say. And the fact that I am so close to it, so close, walking the same streets as the one who walked the Queen to church on Sunday services in Hyde Park, was just wow. I understood it and it was such a charge. It was a very special moment when in London, at home in Lviv, there is no such thing. Maybe there are some alone, but I did not expect to meet in London Because I thought that London is too high. So selected category.

Speaker 2:

Why did you say that you thought so? Why?

Speaker 1:

did you think so? I don't know. Maybe because when I lived in Ukraine, when I was a student, I had some kind of inspiration from literature or movies that painted this picture for me, Because there are so many different things here and what you see, how you look at the world with your own eyes, through your map of the world. It will meet you. And the fact that there is football, football clubs, and how much it is valued here, how many different things are intertwined here. I understood that there are many possibilities.

Speaker 3:

Speaker 2:

You have been living here for 3-4 years. I want to ask you a second question what unique Ukrainian tradition do you still keep in the UK?

Speaker 1:

I keep all traditions. I teach all traditions to my family and children. I try to live with my family the way I used to. I give them the same first calls, a little modified of course with the help of Ukrainian school, the same first calls, a little modified of course with the help of the Ukrainian school, what may remain similar to our home ones. Give them these walks near the forest town, collect flowers, lay wreaths, something so home, so calm. I don't know. We can cook something together in the kitchen with my daughter, some with my daughter Not bad in the summer.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, we are already starting our podcast. I want to ask you, Oksana, tell us a little bit to our listeners and viewers, a little bit of your story in Ukraine before you moved to Britain.

Speaker 1:

Well, in Ukraine, it was Ukrainian. Ukrainian, I travel to Ukraine to communicate with people and to come to a place that will inspire me, make me restart and fill me up. As for some special objects, I don't think so. These are all very memorable moments. What I experienced here is a little different. What I experienced at home was different.

Speaker 2:

When and in which year did you come to Britain for the first time?

Speaker 1:

I came for the first time in 2012. It was the year of my son's birth, or rather, it was already the year of 2013,. Because it was January, it was great. There were the 2012 Olympic Games. So we upgraded the area a little bit. We chose the living in Stratford, we made a lot of new buildings, the Olympic Park. It became more lively, more interesting and we liked it, I liked it, we sat there, and it is still like that today.

Speaker 2:

When you came to Britain for the first time in 2019, what was your impression of Britain?

Speaker 1:

What was your impression of Britain? Impression, great impressions, impressions that reminded me I didn't have enough to joke, I didn't have enough words, english knowledge of course I didn't have enough. I still don't have enough of it or to convey the whole spectrum of emotions that I can convey in Ukrainian. These are completely different things, I assure you, because when we vary Ukrainian, it is our native language. I can convey from the minimum to the highest, and I still can't do that in English. But everything is ahead. So I came and I was impressed that we are a small town, a big metropolis. It's even more of a drive than in Kyiv. You have to drive here. If you are from smaller cities, you probably understand what I'm talking about. You have to wake up early, around 5 am. I had to follow the rhythm and discipline. I had to discipline myself right away. I had to make some kind of schedule for the day, otherwise I didn't have enough time for the day.

Speaker 2:

When you came to Britain in 2012, did you come alone or did you have a husband?

Speaker 1:

I had a husband here. I came to my husband.

Speaker 2:

Did you came here, did you stay here?

Speaker 1:

It was a non-permanent trip. It was about four months. I stayed here for four months.

Speaker 2:

And you came back to Ukraine.

Speaker 1:

I came back to Ukraine, my little son was waiting for me in Ukraine.

Speaker 2:

I came here for the first time without him, and when did you come to Britain to live, and why?

Speaker 1:

There were several attempts. One attempt was when my son was 3 years old. It was such a I don't know a kind of a trial. You know a start why? Of course, the motivation to unite the family. I am very happy that we managed to do it with my husband. We put in effort, of course, we waited a little, and so I understand women who are in such situations. Now am a refugee in one country or another. I understand that it is difficult. I was not in a similar situation. But the conditions of separation, marriage, that is the fact that the man was in a territorial situation, not always with me. It was difficult but we came here and that's it.

Speaker 2:

You know Oksana, when you already moved here you't come here and then came back to Ukraine. What difficulties did you face?

Speaker 1:

I understand what you are talking about, sasha. There were some crazy difficulties, I don't even know. I came here and thought will it be possible to cut the wardrobe? You know, when I came and looked at the square meters of our bedroom and all our four rooms, I thought to myself it's for now so many rooms, but then it was maybe a little less. I realized that I need to cut the wardrobe, cut the number of bags, and it was a little shock for me. I was shocked to see the number of bags and clothes. I don't know she was a girl with many values. That was the first time for me. I started to think that I should think through all the details, that I should not buy clothes for the sake of the economy, but also for the sake of the economy of space, and work on your conscious perception of the world To look for advantages in this, for example, the non-pollution of planets, different points, why I do this.

Speaker 2:

Some logical explanations were found you come here with your husband. You have children here already when I came here three years ago we all came together.

Speaker 1:

My husband was here. He came to visit us in Ukraine. He was developing his business here. He was making progress here. I gave him the opportunity to focus on his work. That is the time when I was at home, when I was working. I gave him the opportunity to focus on his work when I was at home, when I came 3-4 times a year and he came home on holidays. I understand that he had time to focus on his activities, on H the locations he works in, to understand with whom he works, whether it is Ukrainians, british or a mix of people. It was a time to not disturb his feelings, because I think that when everything is calm, everything is calm. When there is no fuss, children are not distracted. I understand that this is life. It should be like that. Sometimes it is not calm, even now, believe me, but then it was his attitude. There were moments when I thought it would be better this way. It was our joint decision.

Speaker 2:

How do you spend your life here? Do you study here? Do you go to work? Do you help your husband with business, and how about business? Please tell us more about business.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I fell in love with home-v, my heart and soul. I came, I burned.

Speaker 2:

Home-v. You already said before that home-v. Please, listeners and listeners, explain to us what HomeVee is.

Speaker 1:

Homevee is our logo. It's attached here. I think we'll attach a link with Sasha. Homevee is recognized. Homevee is home. Home, it's a house. It's very readable, it's easy to remember, it's very melodic for all people. Everyone will read it. Everyone will understand something for themselves. It was a man's idea. He is so creative. Thank him. What services do you provide at HomeVie? I would say that the construction company is a company that provides services from agencies, a man who registered himself as a self-employed and goes and does it himself. No, you need to cooperate with agencies because you have to be recommended.

Speaker 1:

The British do not want to just let people in the house who can even do something for a lower price. It does not work like that here. People want feedback. People want feedback and to know exactly what will be done, to know exactly what will be done in the right time frame, that there will be no extra issues, no extra garbage. They will take away the construction waste, that is. They will do everything, as the owners of the houses, of course. So this is the maintenance of the houses. This is a little refreshing reconstruction. Well, such various details that are needed. Someone builds something. Someone wants to change the landscape design of the garden. Someone wants I don't know a carpet and so on. Someone wants to rebuild something, to rebuild the walls in the apartment. Well, such works. I understand.

Speaker 2:

Okay, you help him, as a woman, to develop his business.

Speaker 1:

The first idea was a promotion of the name, the logo on the caps, on all our videos, on all my works, on all my content.

Speaker 2:

Wait wait, wait. We'll come back to that moment. Content you said content, video promotion. Did your husband take care of that or not?

Speaker 1:

No, when I came, a new idea came up. With my arrival in London, an idea arose to advertise.

Speaker 2:

Why did such an idea appear that the idea to advertise your business?

Speaker 1:

Did he not do it? Did you see that there is a problem advertising too much information, despite the fact that there are websites, pages, agencies that speak very well about them? And spoke at that time. But the more we talk about it, the worse it will not be, I assure you. When I realized that I could be included there as well as a woman who comes to these facilities it is interesting. I tell how it is. I just came and say three years ago, when I came, many Ukrainians started to come. We know why the post office was used it was a war in Ukraine and of course, ukrainians came and they wanted to see something, to understand what was happening in London. Who works? How can you draw?

Speaker 2:

some lesson from it. You started creating content. What content do you create about how people work on construction sites?

Speaker 1:

Yes, it was on construction sites. And then Ukrainian pizzeria in Italy appeared, then Ukrainian agency for real estate in Spain, which we visited. These were all projects. Greetings to everyone who is not watching in Spain.

Speaker 2:

You were doing this in Italy and Spain. Did you go to Spain and Italy, or did people write to you from those countries and say, listen, you're doing it yourself?

Speaker 1:

No, I came there myself. I came there myself and offered our services. I was was confident. I chose Vector. I understood that nothing would happen because of my dependence. Sometimes you have to get yourself together to adjust what will happen and in most cases it happens.

Speaker 2:

When you live in Britain, do you do content? Do you do 24x7 content? Do you constantly do content?

Speaker 1:

I do content all the time, but I spend some evening time with my family. I leave 2-3 hours when I don't respond to messages, don't read emails, don't hang up.

Speaker 2:

What advice would you give to people who are already starting or making content? How can they find a balance? Can you find a balance?

Speaker 1:

You need to follow, probably, those who are already doing it. You need to follow the people who do it first, because you need to see how these people balance the market as a market unit, because what we do, what we shoot, what you shoot, is a unit. This is the product that we broadcast. This is information. This is either an interview, directly, podcasts or, as I do, these are events. These are shows. This is advertising. This is where I call someone as a unit, as a person. Say whether it will succeed or not, whether it is necessary or not. You can try, but, in particular, my recommendation to you is to delegate. Come across it. Who understands how to talk, what accents to put? What market in London? What marketing is here? What people and consumers are doing here in general?

Speaker 2:

Oksana, I see that in your content you throw in English and Ukrainian. I don't know if you have a channel at the moment, maybe when people will watch it. Maybe 7-8 thousand subscribers on your channel. I see that your content is 6.5 thousand, but there are some viewers who watch your content 10-15 thousand. I also see that you have different people in your content who take them on different events and tell them about it. In general, your content that you post on YouTube, do you post it on YouTube or on other platforms?

Speaker 1:

I mostly work on YouTube now. I'm developing of course, and other social networks Instagram and TikTok but I still work on them, that is, they are still at this stage of establishment. Instagram and TikTok are still working Because I am working on adding those aspects that are still imperfect. Therefore, the maximum now is YouTube.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and what is your mission with this channel now? What do you want to achieve with this channel?

Speaker 1:

Well, the mission look, sasha is information. It's advertising. It's advertising for each and every Ukrainian or Ukrainian who is doing something here, who is starting something, who may want to bring their skills. That is, perhaps they do not yet have such a unit as the business unit, but they have ambitions. For example, they can sew paint. Many women and men come now who know a lot, who are talented people.

Speaker 1:

Why not show it? Everything is very interesting, it is inspiring. Now there is such a situation in the world where you have to bring positive. I carry positive through the show. I think I am an ambitious, passionate person. I can carry it through a positive prism. I understand that advertising can be different. It can be brought more structurally, more correctly, more, let's say, as the handwritten text writes. But my ambition, my heart, my intuition tells me that today it will be right Through the show, through the events, through the fact that we went somewhere, that it was more so, not only filled with informative slush, but also with more cheerful slide, but also with a more powerful supplement. Thank you, you said. Video Instagram.

Speaker 2:

TikTok. When you make content, do you plan On a week, on a month, with whom you will do it? Why you do it? Do you see it on the market? Does it change? How do you generally create your content? Do you plan to do it? How do you do it? What is your progress? What is your step by step? I wouldn't say that you should give away secrets, but how do you do it in general? We understand that creating content YouTube, podcasts, blogging, blogging, even music it takes a lot of time. Planning, research, a lot of research needs to be done. It's not just that you get into the camera and everything will work out. No, how do you do it? How does Oksana Homyn do it? How does she do it?

Speaker 1:

How does Homvy TV do it? I do it intuitively. When I talk to a person, I feel what this person needs. Is it more of a conservative person who wants to sit in an office and talk? Is it a creative person who wants to go to a show, who wants to be in a faerie, who wants to talk joke? We look at what the language is about. Who wants to make a flair, to make a close-up, to make a joke? We look at what the language is about whether it is beautician, whether it is…. I mean, there are different industries. Of course, it touches the construction somewhere. It touches more creative, more artistic professions. That's why we choose events depending on the person. It's very interesting. But I think you do the same, sasha. You also create a script. You prepare a podcast. You prepared a podcast with me today. You knew which person would come. We have already seen each other twice. So I think you also use your ambitions, don't you?

Speaker 2:

Yes, because I Look. Oksana, when you asked me for the first time, I was doing podcasts on the radio. Yes, I know, I was doing it on the radio. When you no, it's your husband, volodymyr, who called me and said Sashko, my wife wants to interview you. I said what interview? What kind of interview? And she said now, my wife will call you in two days. You call me in two days and say I want to do an interview with you. Where do you want to do? The location? I will come to you and do it.

Speaker 2:

We did a great interview, I understand we even went out with you. I have a podcast in one place. You understand, there are three cameras changing all the time and we sat in your place, you know, and there are just three cameras always changing and in you we sat a little bit. Then you said Sasha, let's go to the street. Then the scenario changes and it's great, it's cool, and in you such content is obtained and it's great, right. And even before we finished, we even went to eat pizza. I know your husband better because your husband is more involved in you.

Speaker 1:

And, what's interesting, one camera has a gimbal. It goes with that gimbal and everything. Yes, and we changed them, by the way, we already had a few. We are already a little experienced. We bought our own camera, les Mirror, the one that you have, even such. Yes, we bought it in Jodlius. We have experience with different equipment, but it takes a lot of space. So we understand that my husband is not an operator, he is the director of the company. He has a different direction. It is not very convenient for him to carry it with him and, as for now, he helps me in most cases. Where I can go alone, where I can put the camera, where I can do it myself, I do it myself so as not to distract work from the main branch. The main work has to be done. Everything has to be under control as a man does, I see.

Speaker 2:

Who did you collaborate with? Were there any different people, maybe Ukrainians or British people, who collaborated with you?

Speaker 1:

I think that these events, these meetings, are a kind of getting to know each other. As you say, this is a collaboration For now. Those that happened have not yet reached the level of commerce and some that I am currently looking at are financially profitable so they can be more used for business in the future. But I cannot speak about them now, I can't do it right now. But it will be an advertisement of another business. I will advertise HomeVee in the future because it is our brand, our trademark, we live by it, and another branch of our partner or partner. Who will be the first? I will advertise as a personal blogger, as a person who can make content, can shoot, in order to forgive someone for the work that I find easy, that is, I have enough to come there two hours a day, shoot. I already know, I already know and I don't need it anymore. Is it just your experience that you are?

Speaker 2:

constantly filming.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it is my experience. I know how much time I need, how much time I have, what to take. I know some aspects turned off what to take as a backup, what strings are needed, where to go. Sometimes, when there are traffic jams, it is not worth taking a car, but you need to go in most cases. I'll tell you, yes, on the underground, because I've already been here. How to say I've run into these moments. I already know how it works. So, yes, I can be delegated to do my job. I can help someone.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and who do you know here besides me? Who do you know from the Ukrainian diaspora, or even from the Ukrainian community, who is involved in?

Speaker 1:

this, something like that. To be honest, I try to avoid following other people who spread information because I don't want to lose my authenticity, my identity in the conversation, my way of delivering information. I keep my hand on the pulse, of course. I watch where you shoot, I watch how other girls shoot, who conduct pop-ups, who conduct various events, who invite people who are invited to various events, including Ole. Don't want to follow. I want everything to be step by step. I don't want to skip any stages. I understand that people have come to this. It's their story. I will build my own story.

Speaker 2:

You follow them from afar, you see how they do it, but you don't feel it To be honest, this investigation took place literally from the Vyshyvanka Fest.

Speaker 1:

I didn't follow it before because I didn't know, to be honest, that's why, even when I met them, I said that I still need to make an advertisement, Because I didn't know. If I hadn't read your page, your page would have been the main source of information about the Vyshyvanka Fest for me. Maybe if I had spoken about it I would have managed to do it. I just didn't have time to talk about it because I found out the day before. If I spoke about it somewhere, maybe a few more Ukrainian colleagues would come with me, mothers from Ukrainian schools, maybe teachers, maybe a community of women who live not so far from the location of that festival would be bigger.

Speaker 2:

You know, oksana, you said about the information I give, not only me. There are many Ukrainians who give great information, like Vukova, right? Yes, of course, I had a podcast with these guys, misha and Pasha. They are engaged in the Institute of Energy and they said, sashko, if it wasn't you, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have known about Ukrainians here, because there are many Ukrainians who live here for a long time not for a long time. They are looking for interesting information, but because they don't follow that person, they miss this information. They need to look for the information they've been looking for for a long time, and that takes a lot of time.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes there is no time for that. For example, you say that you have to search for all the Facebook and Internet sites, but there is no time for that. Believe me, all people are troubled here. Even people who do the most basic jobs are even more complicated. How could ordinary people, ordinary Ukrainians, know about the Vyshyvanka Fest girls? I'm just talking about the fact that girls don't have time. They came from work, ran, brought their children to Ukrainian school. Some of them still manage to go to church every week. You see, girls don't have time. They need me to talk to them Because they are the audience that communicates with me. That's why you can advertise with one large circle, that is, with a more concrete circle.

Speaker 1:

What audience is the project aimed at? It is aimed at young people, women, ukrainians who are fashionable, who buy things. Who should talk about it? A young person who goes to places where there are many women more whole-heartedly. Of course, he can talk about it, even in a newspaper, but whether that Ukrainian or Ukrainian will read it and come and tell his wife. Here is the question Will he read it? Will he find time to get that newspaper? But you see, I said something interesting.

Speaker 2:

It's an advertisement. You need to know how to spread the information you have. It's not just that you make an advertisement, leave a story and think that you have 10,000 subscribers and you share it. I see in myself how many I have 10,000 people who subscribe to Instagram. I see in my statistics that not everyone is following me. I see that the person who watched me on Monday will not watch me until Sunday. I see that Facebook is doing the opposite. Most of the Ukrainians work with Monika Monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday. My content is being watched Only on Friday, saturday, sunday. It is being watched why? Because most people work from Monday to Friday. Friday passes people are already relaxed. Saturday, sunday they are also relaxed. They are already watching your content, these podcasts that come out, they are watching, and so, in general, it doesn't work.

Speaker 1:

And for me it's a little different. For example, I have the majority of activities on Monday, Wednesday and weekend. Monday, Wednesday, the first half of the day. Why? I think that these are young women, young mothers. Maybe they are not yet how to say attached to a specific job, that is, maybe they are still in search, Maybe they have brought some children and they are looking for something. I see that it is also arranged.

Speaker 2:

Who is watching? Who follows Most women?

Speaker 1:

follow women Ukrainian community is changing here. The community is increasing. I myself have been here for three years. During these three years, when I came in 2012, and I came there I often visited London there were few Ukrainians here. Now it is much easier to make friends with someone, to find someone to film videos with, to find someone to talk to, to go to the same Ukrainian cafe. Understand Ukrainian Ukrainian we catch this word and understand what it is to go to Morozov after church. There are some values ​​that are important. I think that now everything is getting bigger. As we know, schools are, go what location. Each person has access to. More restaurants, more Ukrainian cafes. Now the proposition has expanded.

Speaker 2:

How do you see yourself in the Ukrainian community? As I see, it.

Speaker 1:

I see myself as successful. I see myself as a YouTuber, as my daughter recently said, as a blogger. I don't hate these words. I believe that this word, this is a modern word. This is a word about information. This is a word about the fact that a person works on something, and work on something, any activity, is already karma. It's what you do to yourself, it's how you fill yourself, it's how you help someone. Well, that is, it is the opposite of non-activity. It is, in any case, better than not to do it. That's why I see success. I feel it, the smell, I don't know. I try to be harmonious with myself. I think that many people, many Ukrainians, will watch me, will show me on different channels. I will talk to different bloggers. I will go to different events I don't know and BBC will show me. I have such views.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, Oksana. What would you advise Ukrainians who have just arrived in the UK and want to build their life here?

Speaker 1:

To build it, to build it as you build a building, as you build a foundation, to take everything seriously, to organize your space, to organize it from the time management side, to use all the effective time to divide it. That is, if you are a javelin, your effective time is in the morning. If you this time effectively for the sake of development, to learn the language, to learn the traditions, but I would say to learn to touch them, not to become someone else, that is, to stay yourself, to remain a Ukrainian, to speak Ukrainian at home, but to learn the language and the traditions, of course, to cook everything as it should be, as we were taught at home, on the Christmas Eve, on the big day, the big day that is, it all has to be and the English culture, british dishes, it's all cool, you can buy it somewhere, you can taste it, you can go to friends for a meal together, but you have to appreciate your own.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, oksana. You touched on a very interesting point Time management. Oksana, how do you because you are not only a woman, you have a husband, you have children you control your time? How do you control your time? I think we should not waste time on the outside. We don't distract ourselves from the outside.

Speaker 1:

We focus on the right vector, on being a strong spirit. If something weakens you, you need to refuse it. You need to fill your day with good habits, of course. You need to follow your diet, follow your diet. You need to follow your. To fill your day with good habits, of course, to follow your diet, to follow to add some sport or at least fast walking.

You want to move to Ukraine, to your village, to eat something Ukrainian, but with me, come back here to live and prosper in Britain.
