I contributed firsthand footage and vlogs documenting my journey fleeing the war in Ukraine, offering a raw, personal perspective on the refugee experience. My testimony and interviews were featured in ITV’s special documentary, shedding light on the immense toll of Russia’s invasion and the resilience of those forced to escape.

I collaborated with the BBC to transform my social media posts, photos, and videos into an immersive mobile experience, documenting my harrowing escape from war-torn Ukraine. This project offers viewers a firsthand perspective of the realities faced by those fleeing conflict.

I hosted a BBC Africa documentary that chronicles the challenges faced by medical students displaced by the war in Ukraine. As a British-Zimbabwean student who fled Dnipro and struggled to resume my studies back in the UK, I connected with three fellow students to share our collective experiences. Together, we highlight the resilience and determination needed to continue pursuing our dreams despite the conflict.

Until recently, Zimbabwean student Korrine Sky was studying medicine in Ukraine. Once the fighting started she decided to flee. It took her four days to reach Romania. Using Twitter and Telegram, Korrine has since been helping African students still trapped in Ukraine.

Korrine Sky fled Ukraine when the air-raid sirens went off only to be left traumatised after being forced to endure racism at the border crossing - in contrast to white Ukrainians and their pets.

The Independent’s Nadine White spoke with Korrine Sky, who says she was forced to abandon her dream of becoming a doctor after what happened to her. “It's very, very hard. And I empathize with a lot of my colleagues who have resulted in taking their own lives. I experienced an identity crisis”, Korrine told The Independent.
