Ethics & Editorial Policy
As an independent artist / creator, my mission is to create authentic stories that respect my audience, my collaborators, and the communities I feature. Transparency and trust are central to that mission. This page explains how I handle partnerships, samples, sponsorships, and editorial decisions.
My Core Principles
Integrity first: No brand, sponsor, or partner has editorial control over my content.
Clear disclosures: I am upfront about paid partnerships, affiliate links, and gifted products or services.
Respect for my audience: I only work with brands, services, and stories that align with my values and my audience’s expectations.
Separation of editorial and commercial: My storytelling decisions are driven by creativity and accuracy, not by financial incentives.
Sponsorships & Advertising
Sponsored segments are always disclosed clearly in my videos, podcasts, and live events.
A sponsorship does not guarantee a positive review or coverage.
I do not accept "pay-for-play" deals or scripted talking points that I cannot independently verify.
Sponsored content will always be labeled in descriptions, on-screen, or verbally during episodes.
Affiliate Links:
Some links in my content may be affiliate links, meaning I earn a small commission if you make a purchase. These links will be marked clearly.
Samples, Review Units & Loans
I sometimes receive products, gear, or services for review or testing.
Loaned products will be returned to the manufacturer unless otherwise stated.
If a product is gifted and kept, this will be disclosed in my content.
Acceptance of a product or service does not guarantee coverage or influence my opinions.
I do not allow brands to preview or approve my reviews before publication.
Travel & Event Coverage
Occasionally, travel or event access may be provided by brands, festivals, or organizations.
When travel costs are covered by a third party, I disclose it in the related content.
I retain full editorial control over any stories or coverage resulting from such opportunities.
Conflicts of Interest
I will disclose any personal or financial interests related to the topics or brands featured in my content.
I do not hold financial investments in companies I cover.
Any potential conflict will be clearly stated to my audience.
I strive for accuracy, but mistakes can happen.
If I publish incorrect information, I will issue a correction on the same platform where the content originally appeared.
Updated versions of videos or social media posts will note what was corrected and why.
Corrections & Updates
For PR teams, brands, and collaborators:

Note: Sending me a product or pitch does not guarantee coverage or response. By sending an item, you acknowledge that it may be donated, raffled, or otherwise used at my discretion if not returned.

Final Word
My audience trusts me to deliver stories and experiences that are unfiltered, honest, and meaningful. These policies are here to keep that trust strong and transparent.
