At dawn on March 13, 2019, when Mérida was seven days into the first blackout that had stricken the entire nation, Professor Nilsa Gulfo, who is also a journalist, received a phone call from Maracaibo, Zulia, with the news that her brother Guillermo had just died. Saying goodbye to him turned into the first-hand painful obstacle course that she shares in this story.
I am a journalist from the University of Zulia. I have a master’s degree in human resources and one in social and natural hazards. I am currently a professor of journalism at the University of the Andes in Mérida and at the Cecilio Acosta Catholic University. #SemilleroDeNarradores [Seedbed of Storytellers].
