FAQs

Why do I have to unlock BB stories? I don't have to do this for most other sites.

Black Ballad decided to become a membership & make its content one of the membership perks for a number of reasons, but the most important reason was to build a company that could consistently create content for black women that they can't get anywhere else. Being a membership has allowed us to pay black women for their work & provide our members & readers with the best content possible, something we could not do when we were a free access blog.

I've tried unlocking the Black Ballad story that I want to read, but it's not working.
