Collaborated with AirbnB.org to house 2,000 African Students who were displaced due to the war in Ukraine.

In this project, I researched and designed a comprehensive intervention for approximately 150 African students stranded in the wake of the Ukrainian war. Submitted to both the United Nations and the Ukrainian Government, this initiative, supported by grassroots organisations, successfully facilitated the students' evacuation.

I shared my firsthand experience of fleeing Ukraine’s borders in Nature Human Behaviour, highlighting the unequal treatment refugees. Through this personal account, I aimed to spotlight systemic gaps in humanitarian response and advocate for more equitable refugee policies.

My firsthand account, featured by Global Citizen, spotlighted the discrimination African students faced during the Ukraine conflict. As a Zimbabwean-born student doctor, I documented my own escape from Kyiv and assisted stranded students.

This policy brief examines the plight of approximately 89,000 third-country university students who fled Ukraine, including 1,000 African students who endured ten months of disrupted education. By highlighting the complexity of refugee status, visa policies, and academic transfer challenges, it exposes how miscommunications among Ukraine, the UN, the EU, and home countries led to inequitable treatment.

I partnered with Glacie Health and Dr. Rumbi to develop and design a user-friendly guide that equips women with the knowledge and tools to advocate for themselves in healthcare settings. Through thoughtful research and accessible design, this roadmap empowers patients to confidently engage with medical professionals, ask the right questions, and take an active role in their own well-being.

This comprehensive report laid the groundwork for campaigns focused on helping African students reintegrate into Ukrainian universities post-war.

Its data-driven insights were referenced by the press and featured by UNESCO, underscoring its significant impact on global education and cultural dialogue.

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.
