If you are thinking about holding a future #ShakeIt for Self-Acceptance!™ event, here are some aspects to consider. Each would be your responsibility.

1.  What would you like to do for your #ShakeIt for Self-Acceptance!™--an event in line with empowering body, soul, and/or self-acceptance and/or motivating, inspiring, and/or education through positivity and hope? Past examples have included:

• Inspirational speakers with an "I'm Original" finale
• Flash mob with a message
• "I'm Original" dance followed by educational speakers

2.  Prior to being permitted to use any part of #ShakeIt for Self-Acceptance!™, you willl need to attain a license. The general process:

• Submit an application for initial review
• Licensing fee (to be discussed) 
• Accept and agree to all license terms 

3.  You will need to adhere to pertinent laws and any other aspects that are recommended or necessary for your event. You may need to acquire permits for location, sound/amplification, and/or more aspects pertaining to your event. Attaining insurance coverage will be required (if you need a referral, one can be provided).  All legal and permission aspects will be your responsibility.

Although flash mobs look fun and spontaneous, they typically require detailed planning and/or legal consultation. Organizers may find the following article or book written by Ruth Carter, a lawyer who specializes in flash mobs, to be helpful. She is also available for consultations.
