We talk about many things like:
The relationship between spirituality and social justice.
Using dreams to navigate our immigration story.
Their story of forced immigration.
Colonial Language when it comes to communicating social justice with immigrants that speak English as a second language or none at all.
and much much more.
However, in 2014 due to gay propaganda law and the risk of arrest, they had to escape Russia and seek political asylum in the USA. Aleksander got his asylum in 2017 in NYC.
Currently, Aleksander lives with his partner in San Francisco.
Aleksander is studying LGBTQI lived experience in the context of personal transformations at the Ph.D. program in East-West Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies.
In 2019 Aleksander published their first stories, "Flies" (about refugees) in the online journal "The Pocket Samovar" for underrepresented Eurasian, post-Soviet writers in the USA.
