How a total stranger introduced me to Steemit!

So one day on facebook, I got a friend request from this guy. When I checked his profile, we had no mutual friends. Normally, I would ignore such a request unless the profile looked promising.

His was fantastic so I accepted his request.

About a week later, while we were chatting, he asked me why I was always busy. I did not feel like explaining myself to a stranger, because I knew he would ask more questions. Regardless, I told him I was working on my blog.

"Wow!" he said.
When he asked for my blog's URL, I was reluctant to tell him because I was still using a free domain. I did not want him to think my blog was a joke. I told him anyway.

After visiting healthantenna.blogspot.com, he was so intrigued by the creativity and it encouraged and gave me a sense of fulfilment.

At this point, he told me about Steemit, a golden opportunity for writers to meet like minds and share their views! He also told me of someone he referred to steemit @tochi

Well, here am I! Ekileonyeonwu Chisom Sandra, a young Nigerian student, creative health blogger, tailor, content developer, volunteer at a local NGO and the most spontaneous kind of girl you have ever met.

By 2018, I will get my first college degree in public health technology.

My blog, healthantenna.blogspot.com which is mostly about healthy living, is far from boring because I use real life stories most of the time. And yes, I write articles that make my audience look out for more.

I have heard alot about Steemit and I am willing to contribute to make this community grow. I would love to be part of this amazing community!

Welcome to Steemit!

Thank you! I'm glad to be here

nice that you found steemit so randomly, I see you don’t have a Steemit Profile Picture I made a post to make it simply to do. Here

Yes I don't have a profile picture yet. I did not find it easy. I will look into it as soon as possible. Thanks for the feedback!

welcome the post I made makes it easy

Thanks for really helping me but I've followed the steps, why is my profile picture not showing yet? Does it have anything to do with the size of the image?

yes it can be the size you may have to change the pixels

I found a way finally! Used an app. Makes it so much easier. Thanks again
