I have been in Steemit for some 10 months now and since I started here I have tried to become as involved as I possibly can, despite all the limitations being a steemian in Venezuelan involves.

I am part of the @equipocardumen community, a community of writers, musicians and artists, originally mostly from Cumaná, Venezuela, but which can count now among its members people from different parts of the country and friends from all over the world. We have committed ourselves to playing by the rules, respect the Steemian community, engage in as many activities and groups as we can and promote Steem beyond the platform. Since I started I have posted different kinds of materials, from my traditional academic/educational posts, to poetry, to fiction and some personal narratives motivated by the Venezuelan crisis.

I have been involved with the #fiftywords writing group, the #ulog community and with different users who are trying to turn their blogs into community-building models.

I value interaction via comments and I have made a personal policy to always respond to people's comments. I do my best to show them my gratitude and interest in what they post or write to me. As an academic and a parent I believe that this platform has a lot of potential to revolutionize the ways in which people can interact and information is transmitted.

I work every day to try to be a better Steemian, to learn about the platform and to produce quality content that combines excelence and a human touch. I think that above all, we must always aim at promoting high values and critical thinking so that whatever conflict or injustice is happening around us we can say we tried our best to fight against it.
