Hi hiveans, my name is leedia,
I'm from western part of west Africa, Nigeria to be precise.
I'm also from the western part (Lagos state) in Nigeria. The word Lagos is derived from "lagoon" a land surrounded by water, it's an island and it was once the capital of Nigeria.
You know, I have always wanted to be a jack of diverse trades and a master of one or two
of course not none, 'smiles'.
I am 5”11ft tall, light skinned with brown eyes and dark hair. I'm from Ekiti state, Nigeria and I am currently based in Lagos. I'm a teacher by profession, I love writing, reading novels as well and I'm also a baker.
I am the third child of the family of four, the only girl in the house. 'As you can see I'm the princess of the house'.
I'm a good dance and I have always wanted to be a dancer and also make it a profession and a hairstylist. But sadly, I haven't been practicing them and making them as a profession. Maybe dancing was, but it is definitely a drop.
I have been in search for a teaching job for quite some while over two years now. I started developing passion and taking interest in teaching and stylist job but that was based on comments of people and a push to start up a career in teaching “you have it takes, why not be a teacher”? That has been the question people around me have been asking me lately and due to the fact that kids are always seen around me.
However, I was able to build interest and passion for teaching because, as time goes on, I was able to realize that teaching is a way for me to express myself and my sense of humor. Rome wasn’t built in a day. It's just a gradual process and I had to trust the process. Though I wasn't having the experience of teaching but the passion and the motivations to do was been infused in me by people.
My love for teaching and dancing also spreads like blueband on slice bread to writing.
I thought about making writing also a profession after all the hullabaloo, day and night. I went online in search of a platform that appreciate good writers
Honestly, writing can be difficult sometimes. You know what you want to write in your head but penning it down or finding the write word can be exhausting.
Smiles'' yeah! And most times, you have the idea but one minute of distraction, then, puff!!! It’s gone. Smiles".
Trust me, I must say that I have a hundredth of incomplete write ups. some that I have already concluded in my head but finding it difficult to actually write them, while some have lost its baring.
Although, recently, I am beginning to fall back in love with writing as it has been a way for me to express myself even more. I am able to pour my heart out and ease myself of any form of stress through writing.
Dancing on the other hand started with the mindset that, why not get creative with writing, we are all sharing thoughts through writing".
But trust me, I enjoy writing cause that even prompted me in going for teaching job, I intend to further train myself in it.
Leedia likes to have Fun, I like the beach, the beauty of the waves. I am independent, very jovial, I like to be of help to the needy and less privilege, I love the good life and I like to explore and meet new people. One the other hand I tend to get angry sometimes at the slightest thing that's if I been troubled by the things I don't fancy. But don't get me wrong I love hanging out with people.
HOW I GOT INTRODUCED TO HIVE
Like I said before I desperately in search of a platform that appreciate good writers and encourage them. In my research on it I met a friend @joshsticks28 and we spoke at length concerning this. He, then told me about a blogging Blockchain platform (Hive). Then he helped me with the signing up on the Blockchain that was like last month, December. Though I haven't been chanced enough to introduce myself here on the platform due to my other side gigs job I've been running lately. I've been procrastinating on it and I know if I don't create time for myself here I'm never going to do it. So either way I just thought about it and decided to do introduction today.
I've been anticipating on meeting with great hiveans writers and their work on the platform. It's also an honor to meet and share knowledge with you guys.

Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us. Love the pictures from Lagos!
There are a lot of communities to get involved in. I hope you manage to dig around them and find the ones that suit you. One of the most important things to do is spend more time commenting on other peoples posts than you spend making your own posts. Keep hiving!
Welcome, and great write up to introduce yourself. I loved the pics of Lagos and the photos of your life. Teaching is very rewarding, but it can wear you out sometimes. 😀
I teach at the collegiate level. It's interesting how much people push their thoughts on what you should do as a profession. I assume it was out of love while you go through your adventure of self discovery. Even then, people look up with awe at certain professions and I find it funny sometimes to think of the praise people get when in reality... They're just another person...
