A deeply personal account of the moment the "unseeable" became reality. I share the emotional weight of leaving Russia - from the chilling realization of Orwellian parallels in my daily life to the terrifying conviction that my children deserved a different air to breathe.

A reflection on a successful trial teaching a three-lesson financial literacy program for kids at Galileo Studio. I share the curriculum used to teach main money jobs, budgeting, and the difference between price and value.
