“Georgia is not heard or seen in the world, and many don’t even know the location of the country,” says TED Fellow and photographer Daro Sulakauri. Through her striking photographs of life in the shadows of Russian occupation, she uses her camera to create a living archive of her home country and defend against the erasure of its borders, culture and history.

      As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
      Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

      I don’t really blame people who panic. Lack of
      information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been
      making more than $200k passively by just
      investing through an advisor, and I don’t have
      to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
      finances remain secure. So I really don’t blame
      people who panic.
