Office of the President of Ukraine and the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations
Dear Mike Robinson, Radio free Ukraine
On behalf of the Office of the President of Ukraine and the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations, I have the honor to kindly invite you to the opening of the exhibition “Ukraine Crucifixion. Tribunal”, about the Russian Federation’s War Crimes in Ukraine, to be held on March 31, 2023 in New York.
The exhibit initiated by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will feature evidence of crimes against humanity committed by Russian forces since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Through artifacts collected in former Russian-occupied cities in Ukraine, you will see the ongoing brutal violations of the rights of prisoners of war (POW) and the destruction of Ukrainian cities, including its nonmilitary targets, such as schools and hospitals.
The display will also highlight crimes against the civilian population of Ukraine, international humanitarian rights abuses, and the violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity. This comes ahead of an upcoming United Nations vote calling on the world to investigate the heinous Russian atrocities since the beginning of the war.
The exhibit will commence with a video message from President Zelenskyy, followed by remarks from the guests.
The opening program will include former POW and Ukrainian medic, Mrs. Yuliia ‘Taira’ Paievska, recently honored at The White House.
The exhibition was created by the National Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War and the Bogdan Gubsky Foundation.
Where: 866 United Nations Plaza, NYC, 10017 New York. Entrance: 2nd Door, closest to the East River and FDR Drive.
When: March 31, 2023, at 3:30 pm.
I hope that you will accept this invitation and attend the opening of the upcoming exhibition.
We need your support to win.
Sincerely yours,
Andrii Smyrnov
Deputy Head of the Office
of the President of Ukraine

LaVERDAD Helps Downtown Detroit Improve by Capturing the Voice of the People
LaVERDAD was recently selected by the Downtown Detroit Partnership to conduct a comprehensive survey to capture the opinions of Detroit residents.
Downtown Detroit received rave reviews in a recent survey of people who live, work and play here, according to a survey by Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP). While these findings were overwhelmingly positive, the survey also shows that we have a few things to work on such as better parking and transit options.
The survey, taken by 4,685 people, focused on seven key areas: safety, cleanliness, parking, walkability and biking, transit, and living downtown. DDP will be conducting this survey annually and it will serve as a benchmark to measure progress going forward and shape the strategic direction for our city.
Among the findings:
96 percent of the participants say Detroit has a lot of potential and is important to the region
91 percent agree downtown is improving each year
94 percent of Downtown Detroit residents say they would recommend living downtown
92 percent say Detroit is a place they like to bring visitors. The top three favorite downtown destinations included Campus Martius, Comerica Park and Detroit RiverWalk
MINORITY FIRMS WORK TOGETHER TO HELP GROW EACH OTHER’S BUSINESSES
Cincinnati, OH, Lucy May WCPO – Karen Cooper remembers the exact day she decided she wanted Mike Robinson to help market her business. The two entrepreneurs were attending the South Central Ohio Minority Supplier Development Council gala on Nov. 16, 2012, and the hundreds of people at the event all seemed to know Robinson by name. “I thought, ‘This guy knows everyone. I need to know everyone, too,’” Cooper said. Within a few weeks, Cooper had hired Robinson’s Montgomery-based LaVERDAD Marketing to help build the profile of her Smart IT Staffing business, which has corporate offices in Indianapolis and Sycamore Township. She couldn’t be more pleased.

Building Better, Together: TriVersity Construction Company, LLC Names LaVERDAD Marketing and Media as Agency of Record
Solidifying an enduring alliance and re-emphasizing their commitment to small business development, TriVersity Construction has designated LaVERDAD Marketing and Media as their marketing and public relations agency of record.
This partnership marks more than simply two companies choosing to mutually expand their business interests. The union of LaVERDAD and TriVersity Construction illustrates the potency and potential of Cincinnati’s expanding minority business community.
“Our corporate identity is founded in the belief that diversity is not only advantageous, but essential to the development of the business community and our region as a whole,” said Mike Robinson, president of LaVERDAD. “TriVersity embodies this spirit of economic inclusion and demonstrates the strength of their ideals. We are honored to be a part of their mission to change the face of the construction industry and build a stronger, more vibrant community.”
Both LaVERDAD and TriVersity remain steadfast in their commitment to reduce economic disparity in the local business arena and stimulate economic growth for historically-marginalized demographics.
