How can education, mentorship, and community help young women build confidence and pursue ambitious futures — even in times of war?

In this episode of Femmegineering, Hanna AbdelHamid speaks with Tetyana Oleynikova, Founder of uBoost, about creating opportunities for young people from small and frontline communities across Ukraine.

Tetiana shares the story behind uBoost and She Leads, an initiative helping girls explore STEM, develop practical skills, connect with mentors, and turn their ideas into real projects. She also reflects on living through prolonged uncertainty, finding strength in community, and balancing ambitious work with self-care.

The conversation explores why access to knowledge and professional networks matters, how confidence grows through action, and why fear of failure should never stop girls from trying. It is a story about resilience, leadership, and supporting a generation that will help shape Ukraine’s future.
