Dear Black Woman is curating a high-value digital resource library focused on wellness, business, community, and empowerment for Black women across the globe. We invite you to submit an original 10–15 minute video presentation that educates, equips, and empowers our members. Each video should reflect the values of our movement—healing, leadership, integrity, cultural respect, and global sisterhood.

​

Your video must follow a clear three-part structure. Begin with a 1–2 minute introduction stating your full name, professional title, city or country, and area of expertise. Briefly explain why this topic matters to Black women and what the audience will learn. The core of your video should be 8–11 minutes of well-organized content focused on a specific topic. Teach one main idea per submission, offer actionable steps, and use real-life context or examples where appropriate. Stay on topic, maintain a professional tone, and use language that is inclusive and affirming of Black women’s diverse experiences. End your video with a 1–2 minute closing that restates the core message, includes one or two journaling prompts or reflection questions, and, if you choose, shares where viewers can follow your professional work (website or email only—no product or service promotion is allowed).

​

All content must be your own. Videos may not include copyrighted music, visuals, or footage. Please do not pitch or sell products, services, or events. Submissions that include offensive, exclusionary, inaccurate, or off-topic content will be disqualified. The tone should be warm, professional, and respectful—avoid sarcasm, profanity, or overused motivational clichés.

​

Technical standards must be met to ensure quality across our platform. Videos must be recorded in landscape (horizontal) orientation, in HD resolution (minimum 1080p), with clear audio and good lighting. Your face should be centered in the frame, and background noise should be minimal. Use a microphone or headset if available, and position the camera to capture you from the waist up or head and shoulders. Final video length must fall between 10 and 15 minutes, with a hard limit of 15 minutes and 30 seconds.

​

All video files must be submitted in either .MP4 or .MOV format. Name your file using this format: YourName_Topic_City_Country (e.g., NiaJames_BoundariesAndBurnout_Chicago_USA.mp4). Upload your file to the form below. A signed media release will be required with your submission, granting Dear Black Woman permission to review, edit, and distribute your video across its digital platforms.

​

After submission, our editorial team will review each video for content quality, structure, and clarity. Approved videos may be lightly edited before being added to the official library, and contributors may be invited to future roundtables or content collaborations based on community response. Videos that do not meet the outlined requirements, exceed the time limit, or include restricted content will not be accepted.

We thank you for using your voice, story, and skills to uplift and inform Black women around the world. If you'd like a printable version of these guidelines or need the release form, let us know.
