Aww I LOVE that you reached out to your friend the same day! Your friend sounds super cool. Between her various interests, It sounds like she could create a lot of really cool content. Not to mention, if she's super opinionated - i'm sure she'd find some cool communities and conversations on here!
One thing I have found about Steemit is that people are usually willing to engage in healthy debate, without getting rude or nasty. It's a good combo!
Also, I just want to say that i'm really sorry it took me so long to reply! I got a little behind on replying to comments and want you to know how excited I am that you entered this giveaway! I will be posting the winners later today! :)
