Hello Stellabelle, today I had the opportunity to read several of your articles and your story is inspiring, I live in my beautiful Venezuela and day by day it is more difficult for me to survive, so I started in steemit by my brother's suggestions ... I keep reading in search of clarifying doubts and I will follow you because I'm sure your reports will be very helpful

Thank you @stellabelle for that walk through the history of steemit. I joined in August so I was not there for the March deathroll. However, I started writing about STEEM at the end of October/beg of Nov because of the negativity on here. It was horrid. STEEM hit close to 70 cents and people thought it was the end. I know that doesnt compare to 10 cents but I imagine the outlook was the same.

I am glad I was a buyer at those levels in November.....faith in the steem blockchain is well rewarded.

yes, this is true. It was really dark days, as I saw blogger after blogger leave. I spent a lot of time getting authors here, and saw them leave. I just stayed on......I had nothing else, no "real" job at that point, so I saw myself as with one option only: to keep blogging.

Can i ask an honest opinion? As I was doing this video, it crossed my mind that Africans might take offense to me using black makeup. Even though I was trying to look like a skeleton, are you offended by it? there's a histroy of stupid white people putting on 'blackface' which is really offensive here in the US. What are your honest thoughts on this?

$0.00

greenrun (66) · 7 years ago

Not at all, we Africans do put on black paint too...let me get some pictures of all types of paints ( mostly black and white)

The black is from charcoal mixed with water
5adfde7e3eb3b90b025cb24c02112080--african-voodoo-voodoo-hoodoo.jpg

This warrior has his face decorated with a distinctive white clay to look more "menacing."

Usually done to ladies as a sign of tradition, sometimes during their traditional marriage or some tradition

So I doubt any real African would be offended by a black paint when we put it on ourselves for one traditional rite or the other.

My network was acting up.

I hit the reset button. It was glitchy at first. I took myself back to when I was 18. I should have spent 4 years in school to set myself up for a future. I'm doing that four years I should have done long ago, now. My way. :)

I just got to know about Steemit November and for no reason i was particularly excited because i always do my post on wordpress and it is to a smaller audience. I really want to get my message and ideas out there and was impressed when i was told by it. I wish i knew about it sooner, i would have done more than i wanted to do. A week after i joined that was when it went down that time but i wasn't really worried, i enjoyed the bigger audience and attention with friends i have come to meet. Now there is no stopping for me anymore. Too late. Thank you for staying when you did. You made it possible for people like us. You are the real MVP.
