What is an affirmation?

  • An affirmation is something encouraging that we can tell ourselves (and others). 
  • The title of the NOLA Reader book, I Am Every Good Thing, is an example of an affirmation. There are many other affirmations throughout the book, such as “I am a leader,” and “I’m a difference maker."
  • Think about who you are. What makes you you? What do you notice about yourself that makes you feel great? 

To learn more, read our press release.

In partnership with the Louisiana Children's Museum and the City of New Orleans Department of Youth and Families.
