INNOVATIVE PERFORMANCE PRODUCTIONS LLC

At Innovative Performance Productions, LLC (IPP Music) and our editorial platform You Hit Zero, we are committed to reflecting the diversity and richness of the cheerleading community in every piece of editorial content we publish.

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

• Broad Representation:
  We strive to feature stories, interviews, and spotlights that highlight a wide range of experiences within the cheer world, including those of athletes, coaches, gym owners, and industry leaders—regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, or background.

• Respect and Avoidance of Stereotypes:
  Our editorial approach is to portray all individuals and groups with dignity and respect, actively working to avoid stereotypes or tokenism in both language and imagery.

• Editorial Decisions:
  What we choose to publish is always based on merit, newsworthiness, and relevance to the cheerleading community. Identity politics and personal characteristics are never used as selection criteria or barriers to inclusion.

• Feedback and Corrections:
  We recognize that meaningful representation is an ongoing process, and we welcome feedback from our readers and the community regarding our coverage. If any content is perceived as biased or exclusionary, we encourage readers to contact us at info@ippmusic.com. When appropriate, we will issue corrections or clarifications to ensure accuracy and fairness.

• Guest and Contributor Content:
  All editorial content, regardless of whether it is produced by staff, contractors, or guest contributors, is expected to uphold these diversity standards. While we do not require contributors to sign a formal diversity agreement, our editorial review process ensures that every published piece meets our expectations for inclusion and fairness.

• Sponsored Content:
  Any sponsored or paid content, should it ever be published, will be held to the same editorial diversity standards as all other content on You Hit Zero.

• Editorial Independence:
  Advertisers, sponsors, or third parties have no influence over the diversity or inclusiveness of our editorial content.

Ongoing Commitment

IPP Music & You Hit Zero are dedicated to regularly assessing and improving our editorial approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that accurately representing the full spectrum of the cheerleading world strengthens both our content and the community we serve.
