A @MercerYou report says 42% of Georgian farmers have suicidal thoughts at least 1x year — nearly 5x the U.S. average. Sen. @RussGoodman8 said this will only worsen without appropriate legislation, something farm laborer Brit Hessler can attest to. https://t.co/c6yoPB63Tt

Read more about the journey of Kate's Cakes in Athens and how its founder, Kate Wray, plans to transition the company to Nashville as a #PostGraduate of #UGA here: https://t.co/d2vUzVYHLT

[Alexis Derickson @AlexisDerickson]

“It’s like the way that we do things,” Kate Wray said in reference to the increasing use of social media marketing for businesses. She credits much of Kate's Cakes growth to Instagram, highlighting mutual connections, stories and posts. #socialmediagrowth #Instagrambusiness

[Alexis Derickson @AlexisDerickson]

I recently got to watch Kate Wray fill an order for Kate's Cakes. Standard cakes are four layers with a variety of batter and icing flavors, while cookies are sugar and decorated. What's the secret mix? Wray prefers the recipes of fellow Instagram baker @BakingwBlondie.

[Alexis Derickson @AlexisDerickson]

I've been talking with Kate Wray, the face behind Instagram-based baking company Kate's Cakes. Follow along to learn more about how the UGA senior turned her hobby into a side hustle and what Wray's next steps are for the business post-grad. #baking #athens #smallbusiness

Mayor @kellygirtz says he sees the homeless encampment on Barber Street as a safety enhancement rather than a safety risk. He says the encampment will funnel the homeless towards sanitation, employment and mental health resources. #Athens #homeless
