Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon is a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvania and an alumna of the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. Her work examines how Black experience in the Soviet Union shaped Black identity, and how the presence of people of color shaped ideas and understandings of race, ethnicity, and nationality policy in the Soviet Union, East Germany, and post-Soviet space. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Kimberly leveraged her social media presence to advocate for marginalized communities in Ukraine, counter disinformation, and share historical information about Ukraine.
