@lexiconical, just a heads up... @rivendels has followed your advice and begun posting more about current events in Venezuela. As a result, she is going quite well. Here are three of her most recent posts:

Thank you Jason. I've been following her. I previously pointed my wealthy hippy benefactor in the direction of those exact posts you mentioned. (turns out she liked a few of those coffee posts, too!)
That's awesome, thank you. It's really great to see her getting some traction. How amazing would it be if she could quit her 12 hour per day job and Steem full time, making double or more what she was making before?
I hope that works out for her! We can't really help too much with followers, but we can send a few votes her way to help out. Wouldn't want her to rely on it though!
We have a soft spot for anyone suffering from government (or particularly, monetary) problems. Inflation is the government's secret thief. It's one of the reason I love crypto - controller inflation that everyone knows about in advance.
I feel the same way. I love that Steemit provides a way to help like this in a small way. It would definitely take her some time to build up a following, not relying on votes from a single source. But the fact that someone in a hyper-inflating economy can have access to a stable store of value through the internet, plus an ability to earn income, is a beautiful thing.
