Pipko has stated that her political work interfered in her modeling career. In an interview and spread in QP Magazine in 2019 she said “This is about showing young girls that they can do anything they want to do. From modeling to politics, and everything in between.”^[13]

In December 2021, Elizabeth Pipko was featured on the cover of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam.^[14]

In February 2022, when asked for her thoughts on the war in Ukraine, Pipko told Fox news, "I have heard people ask, ‘Why should we care about what is going on in Russia and Ukraine today?’ We as Americans know what we stand for, and we know that an attack on democracy anywhere is an attack on democracy everywhere. It’s that simple."^[15]

In January 2023, Pipko launched the Lest People Forget project, a crypto-technology global Holocaust remembrance platform to fight anti-Semitism and holocaust denial inspired by remarks made by Kanye West. She stated that she imagines the site as an interactive virtual Holocaust museum, and a place where students who do not live near a Holocaust museum can explore and learn. The site offers the ability for anyone to become involved in preserving the materials of the Holocaust.^[16]

She told The Algemeiner, that the Lest People Forget project aims to modernize and “decentralize” education about the Holocaust.^[17]

In 2023, Pipko was named on the Algemeiner Journal's annual J100 list, honoring the top 100 people positively influencing Jewish life. ^[18]

In 2019, Pipko was a spokesperson for The Exodus Movement — originally named Jexodus^[24] (an apparent portmanteau of "Jewish" and "Exodus") but quickly renamed — and incorporated it as a tax exempt organization.^[25] The Exodus Movement is an initiative of Red Sea Rising, a 501c4 organization.^[26][27]

She told OK! magazine "When I got thrown into the political world, I knew the only way for me to both survive and thrive would be to create something meaningful. So I put my efforts into fighting for the Jewish people an against anti-Semitism."^{[28][better source needed]}

On fighting injustices in our country, Pipko told Fox News, "It's very easy to find problems going on right now in our society. No one's going to deny that things are upside down. I'm fighting anti-Semitism every single day. I still get swastikas sent to my direct messages once a week. I think when supporting America, in my eyes, it's more patriotic of me to stand against those things because I know America doesn't stand for that," she said.^[29]

Pipko is a first generation American and the granddaughter of Soviet-born American artist Marc Klionsky.^[30] She was a competitive figure skater until the age of fifteen when an ankle injury took her out of the sport.^[25] Pipko is Jewish and attended Rabbi Arthur Schneier's Park East Day School.^[31] On December 26, 2018, Pipko married Darren Centinello in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Mar-A-Lago Club.^[26]
