A national tennis champion and pianist during her youth, she worked at the Institute for African Studies [ru] and did research on Black studies. After moving to the United States after Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika reforms, she became a scholar-in-residence at Chicago State University and an advocate for racial equality.
