Effective Date: March 31, 2025
Last Updated: October 13, 2026

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

Texas Women In Music BLOG | PODCAST | MAGAZINE (“Texas Women In Music,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to making our digital content accessible to the widest possible audience, including individuals with disabilities.

Texas Women In Music is a digital media brand operated by Duae Stellae Media, LLC, a women-owned limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States.

We believe that stories, creative expression, music journalism, and information about the music industry should be accessible to everyone.

Our goal is to provide an inclusive digital experience that allows visitors to access, navigate, and engage with our website and publications regardless of ability or the technologies they use.

2. Accessibility Standards

We aim to improve the accessibility of our website and digital publications by considering the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

These guidelines provide recommendations for making digital content more accessible to individuals with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and other disabilities.

Although we work toward these accessibility standards, we do not represent that every page, feature, or item of content currently meets all WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we recognize that improvements may be necessary as our website and digital publications evolve.

3. Website Accessibility

We aim to support accessible website navigation and content presentation through practices such as:

• Using clear headings and organized page structures.

• Providing descriptive text for meaningful images where feasible.

• Using readable typography and appropriate color contrast.

• Supporting keyboard navigation where technically possible.

• Providing descriptive links that communicate their purpose.

• Presenting written content in formats compatible with commonly used assistive technologies.

• Avoiding unnecessary barriers to accessing information.

The availability and effectiveness of certain accessibility features may depend on the website platform, browser, device, or assistive technology being used.

4. Podcast and Audio Accessibility

Texas Women In Music publishes interviews, conversations, and other audio programming featuring musicians, artists, and music industry professionals.

We recognize that audio-only content can present accessibility barriers for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Where resources and production capabilities permit, we aim to provide accessible alternatives, which may include:

• Written transcripts of podcast episodes.

• Episode summaries and descriptive show notes.

• Identification of speakers in written materials.

• Corrections to significant transcription errors.

• Accessible descriptions of important nonverbal information when relevant.

The availability of transcripts and other accessibility resources may vary by episode.

Automated transcripts, when used, may contain errors and should not be considered definitive records of an interview.

5. Video and Multimedia Accessibility

When publishing video interviews, performances, promotional features, or other audiovisual content, we aim to consider accessibility features such as:

• Closed captions or subtitles.

• Accurate identification of spoken dialogue.

• Text descriptions of important visual information when appropriate.

• Accessible playback controls where supported by the hosting platform.

Some videos may be hosted by third-party services whose accessibility features and technical limitations are outside our direct control.

6. Digital Magazine Accessibility

Texas Women In Music publishes digital magazine content that may include articles, photography, graphics, and other visual elements.

We recognize that certain publication formats, including image-based layouts and some PDF documents, may present accessibility challenges.

Where practical, we aim to improve access through:

• Readable text and logical content organization.

• Descriptive headings.

• Text alternatives for meaningful visual content.

• Accessible document formats when available.

• Alternative ways to obtain important information when a publication cannot be accessed using assistive technology.

We acknowledge that not every digital magazine issue or archived publication may be fully accessible.

Visitors who experience difficulty accessing magazine content are encouraged to contact us.

7. Third-Party Content and Services

Our website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services, including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, social media platforms, and other external providers.

Although we strive to select and use accessible services when practical, we do not control the accessibility of independent third-party websites, applications, or embedded media players.

Visitors experiencing accessibility barriers involving third-party services may contact the applicable provider directly or notify us so that we can consider alternative access options when feasible.

8. Ongoing Accessibility Improvements

We recognize that accessibility requires ongoing attention as technologies, publishing practices, and accessibility standards evolve.

Our efforts may include reviewing website content, identifying barriers, improving content formatting, and incorporating accessibility considerations into future editorial and production workflows.

We welcome feedback that helps us identify accessibility concerns and prioritize improvements.

9. Reporting Accessibility Barriers

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of the Texas Women In Music website or its digital publications, we encourage you to contact us.

When reporting an accessibility concern, please provide as much of the following information as you are comfortable sharing:

• The webpage, podcast episode, or digital magazine issue involved.

• A description of the accessibility barrier.

• The device, browser, or assistive technology being used, if relevant.

• The information or content you were attempting to access.

• Your preferred method of communication.

Providing technical details is helpful but not required.

We will review accessibility-related inquiries and make reasonable efforts to respond and provide assistance or alternative access when feasible.

10. Requests for Alternative Formats

Visitors who cannot access particular content because of an accessibility barrier may request an alternative format.

Depending on the content and available resources, alternative formats may include:

• Plain-text versions of written material.

• Accessible electronic documents.

• Written summaries of audio or video content.
