Things I refuse to feel guilty about as a Black UGC creator: • Charging properly for my work • Saying no to “gifted only” offers • Not lowering my rates because “we don’t have budget” • Asking for usage fees when brands want ads • Negotiating contracts instead of being grateful for crumbs • Being selective about the brands I align with • Creating content that reflects my real audience • Protecting my time outside my 9 to 5 • Not posting every single day to please the algorithm • Prioritising quality over constant output • Asking questions before signing anything • Saying “that doesn’t align” without over explaining • Not shrinking myself to seem more “brand friendly” • Building multiple income streams • Treating this like a business, not a hobby UGC Creators, what’s something you refuse to feel guilty about? #UGCCreator #BlackCreators #UGCEducation #CreatorBusiness #ukugccreator London, UK
