Author: Karina Ambartsoumian-Clough

Karina Ambartsoumian-Clough is the executive director of United Stateless. She came to the United States from what is now Ukraine when she was 8 years old, after her parents fled the destruction of the former Soviet Union, in part, because they were persecuted for their Christian religious beliefs. Now she can't go back to either country. Married to a U.S. citizen, she is now proud to call Philadelphia home.
