Hey all!
I know my book needs to get out there to you in the world and I want to see it on the shelves of every bookstore. I want to come speak and train so many folks in the lens of Black Queer Feminist Urbanism. I want my own crafting shopfront/training center.
And I’ve been able to get some funding to hire folks to help me, but I’m scared. I quit so many jobs over the years because I didn’t like how I was being managed, I wasn’t paid enough and I felt like I had to put myself in a box because it’s not my turn yet or I’m “doing too much”. Plus, I want to build a support team to help Les with her ventures, which are just as important for the world.
Today though, I am putting out a call-to-action and another wish fulfillment post to tell you all what I need most.
Immediate hiring need:
An assistant who could work for a minimum stipend of $500 this month to help us get organized and then stay on as we gather the funds as a full-time office manager/Chief of Operations for Kristen Jeffers Media.
My long-term hiring needs:
**Grant-writer** (because I know $500 isn’t enough and I want to build equity, not discount it)
**Agent/Publicist/Comms Director** (to get our work out there with the folks who need to hear from us and don’t know it yet)
**Researchers**
**Content makers**
You don’t hear from me enough, (or only in distress) because I need a team. If you think that’s you, or you want to help provide the capital and resources to help make this team happen for me, please use this link to set up a time to talk (www.Calendly.com/kristenejeffers) Feel free to forward anything you want to send me (resume, cover letter, portfolio, a simple note on why this is you) ahead of our chat.
For now, I need folks who are US based, but if you can figure out taxes and payment elsewhere, I’m open. And of course, POC, Queer, Trans and other marginalized/underestimated people to the front.
I know I can do this and we can do this together.
Look forward to talking with you soon!
Kristen
