Transparency matters deeply to us at The Black Women Network (The BWN). We value your trust above all, so let’s keep it real and talk openly about affiliate links and how they work here.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Sometimes we share links to products and services. These are known as affiliate links. If you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help us sustain BWN, continue delivering engaging, valuable content, and support Black women’s voices across Canada and beyond.

How We Choose Products and Services

We recommend items that align with our mission to inspire, uplift, and empower Black women. Our process includes:

  • Personal experiences: We share what we love and have personally tried.
  • Community recommendations: We listen to you and feature products and services that resonate deeply with our community.
  • Integrity first: Our recommendations aren’t influenced by the commission potential. If we wouldn’t buy it or recommend it to a friend, we won’t recommend it to you.

Affiliate Programs We Work With

The BWN is proudly affiliated with trusted programs, including:

  • Amazon Associates (CA & US)
  • ShareASale (brands like SheaMoisture, CurlKit, and Hum Nutrition)
  • Awin (Indigo)
  • Impact.com (Sephora, Fenty Beauty)
  • Travelpayouts and Viator

Note: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases, which helps support our work at no additional cost to you.

Sponsored Content vs. Affiliate Links

Here’s how you’ll know the difference:

  • Affiliate Links: These articles clearly say, “This post contains affiliate links,” at the top.
  • Sponsored Posts or Gifted Products: We’ll clearly label these at the beginning of the article, stating something like, “This post is sponsored by…” or “Product provided by…”

A Quick Note on Prices and Availability

Prices and availability of products are accurate at the time of publication but can change. Please check the merchant’s website for the latest info.

Questions? We’re Here.

Stay beautiful, informed, and empowered.
