Welcome to Black Girl LIVE!—a space of healing, truth-telling, and community care. Before engaging with our resources, events, or communications, we ask that you read the following disclaimers carefully.
I. Educational and Informational Purposes Only
This website, blog, and email series are educational and informational resources created for Black girls, Black women, caregivers, educators, mental health advocates, and community members seeking connection, tools, and healing through the Black Girl LIVE! experience.
We aim to provide content rooted in lived experience, cultural relevance, and collective wisdom. However, we do not guarantee any specific outcomes from the use of our resources.
II. Not a Substitute for Professional Care
Black Girl LIVE! is not a substitute for therapy, mental health treatment, legal advice, or financial consultation.
We are not licensed counselors, medical professionals, attorneys, or financial advisors, nor do we claim to be. While our speakers and facilitators may share personal healing stories and professional insight, nothing shared should be interpreted as professional or clinical advice.
If you are in crisis or need professional help, we strongly encourage you to consult a qualified practitioner or call the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (available 24/7 in the U.S.).
III. Mental Health & Crisis Resources Disclaimer
If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or a mental health emergency, please seek immediate support.
Call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org for confidential help, 24/7.
You are not alone. You are worthy of support.
Healing is possible.
IV. No Guarantees or Promises
growth, we do not promise that participation in any Black Girl LIVE! event, workshop, or program will result in specific changes in your life, mental health, or well-being.
We share tools, not outcomes. The power to heal and grow is ultimately yours.
V. Affiliate Disclaimer
Occasionally, we may share links to books, tools, or resources that support our mission. Some of these may be affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission—at no additional cost to you. We only promote resources we personally trust and believe in.
VI. Cultural Sensitivity & Centered Identity
Black Girl LIVE! centers the lived experiences of Black girls and women. Our events and resources are created with cultural intentionality and affirm the dignity, brilliance, and complexity of Black identity. We strive to build a space where everyone is seen, heard, and honored.
VII. Testimonial Disclaimer
Testimonials and success stories shared on this site or in our communications represent individual experiences. They are not intended to guarantee that any current or future participant will achieve the same or similar results.
VIII. Limitation of Liability
By engaging with this site or attending our events, you acknowledge that Black Girl LIVE! and its affiliates, organizers, speakers, or volunteers are not liable for any decisions, actions, or results you choose to pursue. Use of this site and participation in our programs is at your own discretion.
