I Am a Work of Art: Illustrated Affirmations

Illustrated affirmations to inspire. Affirmations have the power to change your mindset and help you empower yourself by providing positive reinforcement and rewriting your internal monologue. Words hold a lot of weight. Especially the ones that we speak to ourselves. Affirmation cards are an easy way to visualize these affirmations and take them with you on your day-to-day.

I Am a Work of Art Affirmation cards are a collection of 12 illustrated affirmations designed by a Black woman. They were created to promote self-love and celebration amongst BIWoC. They are a distinct and thoughtful gift for yourself or anyone who needs to be reminded that they are strong, special, and deserve to be celebrated.

Usage Tips
