@stellabelle - I think it is extremely important to do what you want to do and what your instinct tells you - as someone below already commented you do not need to justify no matter if people ask you.

I have seen video messages by KE which sounded convincing - think she is an awesome developer of new visions! However - not all is clear to me - please realise I am male, I am German and I come from a sales & marketing background and it takes time to convince me - why is that? Hit me on DM - I have learned a lot about similar models so i tend to be careful to protect my own community.

I personally admire you for what you do here even I did bombard you with questions which is my attitude to get around new things :-) (not happening anymore as I think I found someone that is capable to answer the important things - will update you soon on that). I usually have to get answers before I buy-in for anything. Scams can happen - Enthusiasm is great - due dilligence before that more important. People knowing me are aware that I try to take care of my community by checking a lot questions before telling them about a new fantastic thing, I usually ignore any hype even by good friends but focus on facts and due diligence before I join that. Sounds boring and negative - maybe but in my view more important as jumping on unknown trains.

Hope all will become real as you anticipate @stellabelle! You just have to understand people will ask questions simply based on the below sentence which I agree on I have to admit - what is the message behind this or the intention?

"She has told me that indeed she is not creating ONO for the money."

Hi @stellabelle! I have a friend (maybe you know each other @mammasitta) who has told me about ONO. I must accept that I still do not fully understand what ONO is going to be, nor am I sure how to become a volunteer, but I am sure I want to join.

As you say, I have not come to ONO by myself, it simply appeared because @mammasitta also came to me; I could only be in the right place and time.

For a long time, I follow you here on Steemit, but I do not know why I always felt that I could not fully adhere to your themes, however ONO (without knowing it well) I feel it close to me.

I hope and I will find a way to join you. I do not know about programming and little about numbers, but as @mammasitta knows, humanity is my greatest vocation and I feel that there is going to be a lot of that in ONO.

Have a nice day! :D

I fucking miss you and the way you write ! Wow that was fun to read and literally answered some of the questions I’ve had. So cool! So proud of you @stellabelle. This is legit perfect for you. I posted a sick picture of us btw from Austin. It’s the black and white one when we were outside that reccomended taco joint lol. It’s a great pic haha enjoy your evening ttyl

Gonna read that on the way to work today, thanks! Congratulations on finding a fulfilling job @stellabelle !

The story really shows the willpower some people have in wanting to change the world. While no one would ever like to think of it at the time. It was for the best that people kept telling him to “drop the dream” as I can only imagen that put even more fire under him to want to be part of a better place. To many corporations out there just suck the souls out of people and take them for everything they can.

Nothing worse than being an idealist being taken advantage of by a business when they can make them think there ideas are going change the world. When in fact, they are changing it just not how they wanted it to happen. Certain types of people have to extra careful with whom they share their ideas with. People these days just use and toss others aside like a candy wrapper. History has show us this happening a few times.

i also have crumbled under the weight of evil people in corporations. it's not something i will ever forget. usually, the more psychopathic one is, the higher on the food chain they go...for this, it seems opposite...

Whenever I make decisions or life choices I never consider what other's will think of me, I just decide what is good or right for me so that when I make a decision I will be better informed to help others if need be. I think as cliche' as it sounds, it is true: "follow your heart". I don't really know what ONO is, but if it is a type of steemit site, I'd love to know more. I have been blown away that a site like Steemit can even exist and it has made me and a few other artists I speak with regularly feel how important this type of environment and online world is for and to the arts.
How can the common person get involved?

You don't need to justify what you do or who you do it with.

Enjoy and best of luck.

I do since I was criticized. I want people to understand the truth, not believe rumors.
