TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: April 22, 2026

Welcome to Revolutionary Leadership. These Terms of Service (”Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Revolutionary Leadership publication on Substack and related content, products, and services (collectively, the “Publication”). The Publication is operated by Kerry Mitchell Brown, LLC, doing business as Revolutionary Leadership (”we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or subscribing to the Publication, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not subscribe or access the Publication.

These Terms supplement, and do not replace, Substack’s own Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which continue to apply to your use of the Substack platform. Where these Terms conflict with Substack’s platform terms, Substack’s terms govern the platform relationship and these Terms govern the Publication-specific relationship between you and us.

2. SUBSCRIPTIONS AND TIERS

The Publication offers the following subscription tiers:

Free tier (The Movement): Access to public posts. No cost. You may subscribe or unsubscribe at any time.

Paid tier (The Blueprint Circle): Access to all public posts plus paid-only content. Available at published rates ($8 per month, $80 per year, or $120 one-time founding member rate). Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled.

Founding membership: A limited tier capped at 100 total members, available at $120 for lifetime access. Once 100 founding memberships have been claimed, the tier closes permanently and is not reopened. Founding members receive lifetime access to paid content without further payment. Founding members may opt in to being acknowledged by name in the published book Revolutionary Leadership: A Power Playbook for Black Women, subject to publisher print deadlines and confirmation of exact name spelling.

3. PAYMENT, RENEWAL, AND REFUNDS

Payments are processed through Stripe, Substack’s payment processor. By subscribing at any paid tier, you authorize the applicable recurring charges (monthly or annually) to the payment method on file until you cancel.

Cancellation: You may cancel a paid subscription at any time through your Substack account settings. Cancellation stops future renewals. Access continues through the end of the current billing period.

Refunds: Payments are generally non-refundable. We may grant refunds at our discretion for technical errors, accidental duplicate charges, or other circumstances we deem appropriate. To request a refund, contact DrKerry@RevolutionaryLead.com within 14 days of the charge.

Founding memberships: Founding memberships are a one-time, lifetime purchase and are non-refundable after purchase except in the case of technical error.

Price changes: We may change subscription prices for future renewals. Existing subscribers will receive notice of any price change at least 30 days before it takes effect. Founding members are exempt from all future price increases; their $120 lifetime rate is honored indefinitely.
