Georgia currently is based in Brussels, with professional experience throughout Europe and the Middle East. Most people know Georgia as a founder of <a href=\"https://thenine.be\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Nine</a>, Belgium’s first female membership club. Fairly so, as The Nine brought a space for women in Brussels, that this city has not yet seen before. As Georgia describes The Nine activities and events herself: “from professional workshops, art exhibitions to drag queen shows - to have a little bit of fun because sometimes, I think, Brussels could be very, very serious”. </p><p><br></p><p>However, besides The Nine, Georgia also runs a non-profit <a href=\"https://www.fempowerinitiative.org/about.cfm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Fempower Initiative</a>, dedicated to improving the lives of girls and young women living in disadvantaged areas in the Middle East.
