Affiliate Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

Black Stories Untold is dedicated to providing honest, unbiased content about Black history — documented stories of resistance, achievement, and survival that have been suppressed from mainstream narratives.

Transparency is part of that commitment. When we recommend a product or service, we want you to know whether we have a financial relationship with that company.

Affiliate Programs

We participate in affiliate programs including but not limited to:

• Amazon Associates Program — we earn from qualifying purchases on Amazon
• Book and publishing affiliates — for titles and resources we recommend
• Other educational and media partnerships — disclosed on relevant pages

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you and helps fund our research, content creation, and video production.

Editorial Independence

Commission potential does not influence what we recommend. We only promote products and resources that we:

• Genuinely believe will provide value to our audience
• Have personally reviewed or verified
• Would recommend regardless of any financial relationship

Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. The mission of this channel — preserving and sharing suppressed Black history — drives every piece of content we create.

How Links Are Labeled

Where applicable, affiliate links on individual pages are identified with notices such as:

• "Affiliate link — supports our channel"
• "We earn from qualifying purchases"
• "Sponsored" or "Paid partnership" where required

How Commissions Support the Channel

Revenue from affiliate commissions goes directly toward:

• Historical research and source verification
• Video production and post-production
• Website hosting and maintenance
• Expanding the archive of documented stories

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You are always free to navigate directly to any vendor, compare prices elsewhere, or support the channel through other means. We appreciate your support in whatever form it takes.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, please reach out.
