"Yulia is the rarest of journalists: a world-class photographer, an immaculate reporter, and a phenomenal storyteller. But what has always struck me most about her is the way she turns her gaze outward, shining a bright and generous light on others with clarity and compassion."

– Eliot Stein, Deputy Editor, BBC Travel

"Yulia is a master at unearthing nuanced, culturally rich stories from far-flung corners of the world, and is a champion for bringing to light voices and perspectives that are often overlooked."

– Sarah Khan, Contributing Editor, Condé Nast Traveler

“Yulia has been in my orbit for nearly a decade. I've edited her work across multiple titles and platforms because she's the kind of storyteller that editors bring with them: intelligent, curious, thoughtful, compassionate, and fearless.”

– Ashlea Halpern, Contributing Editor, TIME
