Hello people of Steem and Steemit,

It's my pleasure to welcome you to the 88th edition of “The interview showcase...." and my 12th show for 2024.

If you are new to this page, this lifestyle program has many educational values. A weekly interview of users in the blog concerning some trending topics on the Steemit platform. And tips that can help other Steemians to progress positively and help boost the Steem’s growth.

It will help you to get to know more about Steemians around the globe and even Steem and Steemit itself.

I take time to look at some of the most important topics in the blockchain and have a chat/call with Steemians who have a greater idea about those topics.

They also share some tips that can help other users understand the blockchain and correctly use it. Sometimes they seek valuable suggestions here to help them solve some of their challenges.

In today's edition, I would be talking to @nahela from Venezuela who is also the founder of Colombia-Original community. Don't be confuse if she tells you that she is from Columbia, the truth is that she is from both countries, she has a dual citizenship.

: Hello Nahela, it is a pleasure to have you on my Interview showcase today. How would you describe yourself to other users?

🔶Nahela: Happy day friend Ub, it is a pleasure for me to be able to share this interview with you today, thank you for the invitation. I think that when we want to describe something or someone it is easier to do so when it has nothing to do with us, but when the description is about ourselves it makes us think and it becomes difficult to choose the exact words, but I won't go into the topic too much hahaha. As a user I am: empathetic, fresh, dedicated, collaborative, active and kind.

: How old are you in steemit ? And how will you describe steemit transition since you joined?

🔶Nahela: I discovered Steemit in 2018, thanks to my friend @josevas217, he showed me this virtual world, for which I am infinitely grateful. But even though I entered Steemit in 2018, it was really in 2021 that I dedicated myself fully to it. It has been a path of ups and downs together, both users and the platform have had to adapt to the market and its movements.

---

---

: What has been your biggest achievement on steemit?

🔶Nahela: It's a question with several answers 😀, but I'm going to say only 1 and that is creating a community that has remained firm all this time, that has helped train users, that has a charity project that is a helping hand for many , a community with a great work team, which is built daily and will soon reach 100k of its own SP.

---

---

: What does it take to run a community and what are some of the challenges you faced as an admin?

🔶Nahela: The biggest challenge of founding a community was not knowing what to do, @josevas217 is a witness to that hahahaha, you might think that we knew everything and that we were prepared for the challenge but no, we didn't have funds, we didn't have a specific plan, just the desire to make it happen, for that we had to learn, ask, advise ourselves, build a community and build ourselves as administrators. It was and continues to be a learning process.

---

---

: How can users help make your work go smoothly?

🔶Nahela: I believe that the best way for users to help is by taking into account all the advice I give them, putting each suggestion into practice and doing things with good will. Seeing a user advance and reap the rewards is for me an achievement to celebrate.

---

---

: Would you say "Columbia-original" community is doing well..and in what sense?

🔶Nahela: Yes, I consider that CO is doing very well, as I told you before we will soon reach 100k of our own sp plus the delegations of many users who trust in our community project, we have a flow of posts that exceeds 150 posts per week, we support at least 1 or 2 users with our charity project, we are up to date on the dynamics of steemitblog, we have a very good work team and we feel that the users feel good in CO, in addition to that we have many plans for the future, one of them is to be independent.

---

: In life what mistake do you keep making and why?

🔶Nahela: Procrastinating, I struggle day by day with this, the thing is that I am very confident in myself and I always say: I will do it tomorrow, for sure. and then tomorrow comes and I have more things to do and I end up stressed.

---

: Before now, there where some great steemian musicians in your country, why are they missing all of a sudden, because I hardly see them...? Can you mention some of the remaining ones if any?

🔶Nahela: Yes... I remember them, I think many left because of the low price of steem but there are still some very good ones, @oswaldocuarta is one of them, he is a super talented boy! 9. What is the best advice you have ever received? ...Live one day at a time... This helped me a lot to focus on the present when I was going through an anxiety crisis. I still take this advice into account today, it has been very useful to me.

---

---

: It seems that you have done very well on the platform, what advice would you give to other users in your country to achieve such great progress?

🔶Nahela: At first glance everything looks good but it has been a long road, of ups and downs, of wanting to throw in the towel and others of wanting to continue, what I advise everyone who enters this platform is to be constant, take advice, Enjoy what you do and do not depend on this alone since there are no stable profits and it can generate frustration.

---

---

: If you were to visit Africa, what country would you like to visit and how long would you like to stay?

🔶Nahela: oh... I want to know South Africa, I want to see those colorful towns that @patjewell has shown me, one week would be enough for me.

---

---

: As a married woman and mother, how do you balance your daily activities while continuing to perform your duties as an administrator and conservator?

🔶Nahela: Sometimes it is difficult but with planning everything is possible, I try not to neglect my daughter, my husband and my work... oh, and my gastronomic venture. Your question makes me think that I am lucky not to have gone crazy with everything I have to do daily hahaha luckily I still have a little sanity.

---

---

: What would be the scariest monster you can imagine?

🔶Nahela: A white shark in front of me... I have a phobia of sharks. Although I don't know why I associated it with monster. I will answer again, the most terrifying monster I can imagine is the "coconut", that's what my mother scared me of when I was little, I leave it to you as a task to investigate who it is 😅

---

---

: If you had the power to change one thing in the world, what would it be?

🔶Nahela: If it were in my hands I would ensure that no child is abandoned, abused or go hungry. I think this would change many things in the world.

---

---

: Which user or users would you like me to interview on my program and why?

🔶Nahela: I would like you to interview @yonaikerurso and @mariami, two users that I appreciate and respect a lot on the platform, I think they have a lot to say.

---

---

: What do you like to do in your free time?

🔶Nahela: In my limited free time I like to leave the house to eat, go out to have a coffee alone (I like solitude), watch series on Netflix and sleep 😅 I also like to cook but I always do that.

---

---

: What Venezuelan music was popular when you were a child? And what is it now that you are of age?

🔶Nahela: This is where my age becomes evident hahaha, I remember 2 popular songs that I quite enjoyed dancing to: snail soup and the dog dance. 😅😅😅 YouTube will help you with your homework! Now there are many popular songs, but I prefer the romantic ones and even more so if they are danceable, I really enjoy all the songs by Guaco, a Venezuelan musical group, unique in its style.

---

---

: Have you heard any Nigerian songs before?

🔶Nahela: The truth is that I haven't heard any my friend, I don't know any, could you recommend me one that you like to listen to?😀

: Alright, here you go
