Hello Everyone,
Below is an email that I received from Beryn Orera from Black Ballad Magazine:
“Greetings,
I trust this message finds you in good health. My name is Beryn Orera, and I am a writer for Black Ballad Magazine, a publication dedicated to exploring significant themes and stories resonating within the Black community. Today, I am reaching out to you with a unique request, seeking your assistance in identifying Black women in the UK who are willing to share their perspectives on choosing a childfree lifestyle.
We firmly believe that the voices and experiences of Black women are essential in providing a well-rounded understanding of this subject. At Black Ballad Magazine, we are committed to promoting diverse narratives, and in pursuit of this mission, we aim to conduct insightful and respectful interviews with Black women who have made a conscious decision to remain childfree.
Recognizing your organization’s excellent reputation for supporting and connecting with diverse communities, we believe your organization might be instrumental in helping us find suitable participants for these interviews. We are seeking individuals open to discussing their reasons for embracing a childfree lifestyle, the challenges and opportunities they have encountered along the way, and the broader societal perspectives that surround this choice.
If you have any recommendations or can facilitate contact with Black women who might be interested in sharing their stories, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Rest assured, our commitment lies in conducting these interviews with sensitivity and respect, ensuring the participants’ voices are accurately portrayed and honored.
If you or a representative from your organization can support us in this endeavor, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email. Alternatively, you may contact me directly at berynorerawrites@gmail.com to discuss further details.
We extend our gratitude for considering our request and eagerly anticipate the prospect of collaborating with your organization on this significant project. Your invaluable support in amplifying underrepresented voices is deeply appreciated.
Warm regards,
Beryn Orera”
