Welcome to the world of Creative Disruption! This book—and the movement it represents—is designed to spark innovation, challenge the status quo, and empower creatives, entrepreneurs, and change agents to transform their communities and industries. Before you dive in, we want to lay out some simple but important ground rules.

By purchasing, reading, or engaging with Creative Disruption: How Artists and Innovators Build Influence, Drive Change, and Shape the Future (the "Book") and its associated materials, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

1. No Legal, Financial, or Therapeutic Advice

Rev. Dr. Shelley Best and TubmanWalker are here to inspire, not to litigate or diagnose. While this book offers insights on creativity, leadership, influence, and transformation, it is not legal, financial, business, or mental health advice. We are not attorneys, accountants, therapists, or financial advisors. If you need professional guidance, we encourage you to consult the appropriate experts.

2. Intellectual Property & Usage Rights

This Book—and everything associated with it, including but not limited to the Creative Disruptor framework, methodologies, brand language, and all original content—is the intellectual property of Rev. Dr. Shelley Best and TubmanWalker.

You may: Read, share ideas inspired by the Book, and discuss its principles.

You may not: Copy, reproduce, or distribute substantial portions of the Book without written permission. That includes repackaging its teachings into your own paid courses, training, or branding efforts. Respect the work.

If you want to license, collaborate, or integrate Creative Disruption into your programs, let’s talk—TubmanWalker is all about partnership and building ecosystems where we all thrive.

3. Personal Responsibility & Accountability

Creative disruption is powerful—but power comes with responsibility. The ideas in this Book encourage bold action, innovation, and transformative thinking. However, how you apply them is entirely up to you.

We are not responsible for how you implement these strategies in your personal, professional, or business life.

If you take risks, make investments, or pivot your career based on this Book’s insights, that’s your journey to own. Be strategic, be wise, and make informed choices.

4. No Guarantees—But Plenty of Possibilities

We believe in the principles of creative disruption, but every person’s path is different. Success depends on multiple factors, including effort, resources, timing, and external conditions.

Therefore, we do not guarantee specific results—whether in business, creativity, activism, or personal growth. What we do guarantee is that if you show up, engage fully, and embody the spirit of creative disruption, you’ll see shifts in how you think, create, and lead.

5. Community Engagement & Respect

If you engage with the Creative Disruptor community—whether through live events, online discussions, or social media—be mindful that we operate with integrity, inclusion, and respect.

Discrimination, hate speech, and toxicity have no place here.

Constructive dialogue, visionary thinking, and collaborative energy? Yes, please.

6. Amendments & Updates

These Terms and Conditions may be updated periodically as the movement grows and expands. Stay tuned.
