Chmerkovskiy Forces: Chmerkovskiy and Brother Maks

chmerkovskiy forces: I'll Never Change My Name takes readers on a journey in which Chmerkovskiy forces us to consider the inaccurate labels we stick on people and the drive it takes to succeed as someone who doesn't necessarily fit in, according to The Chronicle Herald. Chmerkovskiy and his family arrived in New York City in 1994. He's a brother, a son, a mentor, a partner, an immigrant and a proud American. He was an 8-year-old Ukrainian kid who found his new hometown completely magical, thanks to clean sidewalks, patches of grass and a playground within walking distance of the apartment. Chmerkovskiy and his older brother Maks were forced to adopt a tougher exterior in order to survive living in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, bullies immediately entered the picture.
