About me
I’m Chibs Okereke. My meditations channel is at 120,000+ subscribers with strong monthly revenue. Even though this channel is doing extremely well and growing rapidly, it is not my main area of interest.
I’m Chibs Okereke. My meditations channel is at 120,000+ subscribers with strong monthly revenue. Even though this channel is doing extremely well and growing rapidly, it is not my main area of interest.
I don’t want to blur the focus or confuse the algorithm by mixing in too many formats or topics—so I’ve launched a second channel ("Chibs Okereke: Mindfulness for Strivers") with talking‑to‑camera content on stress, burnout, and nervous system tools.
This second channel will feature short, sharp, high-retention videos (8–15 mins) where I speak directly to camera—sometimes personal, sometimes practical, always grounded in science and lived experience. I’m looking for a YouTube-native scriptwriter to take topics and ideas from me and turn them into compelling, teleprompter-ready scripts.
(I also have a separate editor role open for long-form scripts. If you can do both, feel free to say so in your proposal.)
The role
Write original, engaging 8–15 minute scripts from scratch based on a topic, theme, or rough notes from me. You’ll be responsible for the overall flow, voice, hook, retention strategy, and polish. You’ll also supply title options and thumbnail angle suggestions.

My tone and style
Friendly, pragmatic, direct, relatable, science‑backed. No woo woo. Light humour. Trauma-aware. The scripts should sound like me—Think grounded coaching meets nervous system wisdom—designed to help people feel seen and supported without being fluffy. I’m talking to a smart but stressed high achiever.
What you’ll deliver
- Full A-roll script (1,000–1,500 words) that feels natural when spoken aloud
- B-Roll suggestions
- Suggested video titles and thumbnail concepts with on-screen text
- 1 teaser script (10–15 seconds) suitable for Shorts
You are a fit if
- You have live YouTube examples of original scriptwriting for talking-head creators
- You think in stories, loops, tension, and payoff—not just content
- You can write in someone else’s voice, not overwrite it with yours
Nice to have
- Experience writing for coaches, therapists, or wellness experts
- Background in psychology, mindfulness, mental health or business
