Daily Affirmations Writers
Summary:
BLUU is seeking writers for the Daily Affirmations. This important ministry helps us reach the BLUU community through brief, daily text messages. Writers receive $50 for contributing a month of affirmations.
The Format and Voice
Daily Affirmation messages are:
- Messages of encouragement, guidance, reassurance, and hope for the BLUU community.
- Rooted in BLUU’s commitment to centering Black spirituality, social justice, healing, and wholeness. (This means publishing affirmations by Black people, centering Black people in all text messages and quoting Black people if you quote someone in your affirmation.)
- Approximately 30 words or less (or approximately 75 characters or less) per affirmation.
- Reflections, inspiration, and questions for people to consider. We want to avoid messages that could feel like life coaching or spiritual bypassing.
Example of Affirmations:
- I choose to be kind to myself and love myself unconditionally.
- I am worthy of respect. Being treated like a human is not too much to ask.
- Today, I give myself permission to feel. Emotions are holy.
The Ask
We are currently recruiting Daily Affirmations writers. Daily Affirmations writers will be asked to:
- Commit to writing at least three months of affirmations.
