Hi there, I am Rizky 
The Newbies Initiative is the brainchild of some concerned HIVE citizens who saw the need to have a training and mentorship ground for those who are new to the platform to learn and grow. I see HIVE is generally for those who know their way around already and this is quite unfair to newbies. This is where the Newbie Initiative steps in to serve as a guardian and show the ways of the system to newbies like me. For those who are interested in coming on board, see here.
But these and many more are what the NEWBIE INITIATIVE is offering to me on a platter of gold, the opportunity to learn and grow ranging from adequate mentorship to learning from the experience of those who have gone before us in the journey of HIVE. I had inquired about the initiative from previous benefactors and they did well in assuring me that my plan to come on board would never be one to regret. And now I see that they are partnering with the HIVE Learners community. Oh my! I believe it is going to be an awesome experience for me and other newbies.
One of the criteria is that one has to have a reputation below and Hive Power below ....?
I, particularly pre-HIVE, love to write only on the happenings revolving around me. Now, I am into mobile photography of nature and food most times and I write about food generally too. I am also into data science with a bias for analytics. Nevertheless, I am an ardent reader of other people's posts on Hive - if that could be added as one of my doings! And, I believe as I unfold, more things will come from me.
My favorite is
photography
writing
animation
food
mountains
sea
beauty
A big shout out to the whole administrative team behind the initiative, even if not for anything but for the fact that it's helping newbies have a good base and strong head start to eventually grow flourishingly on HIVE. I give kudos to
