In this conversation I'm joined by Christina C. Jones (Girl, Have You Read?), Sharee Hereford (Sistah Girls Book Club), Tamika (Black Girls Who Write), Qiana (Hopeful Heartbreakers Book Club), Ayanna (Bourbon St. Bookers), and Chelsea (Melanin Library) and we discuss the different website that are out there to promote and support the independently published authors within the community. Each of these ladies speaks in depth about the services offered by their websites and a whole heap of other things.
In this conversation I'm joined by authors and readers as we discuss some of the foundational Black romance writers. It is not a comprehensive list of everyone discussed, but I think we had a good ol' time reminiscing about the scribes that made us fall in love with the genre
This is a recorded Twitter Space wherein many folks shared their experiences at the Indie Love event.
Yoooooo, chopping it up with the homie, author Katrina Jackson, discussing Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. As is the custom of this show, we meander a bit from the book in specific to speak to the greatness that is Ms. Bev, the progressive integrity that is housed within her work, the reverence for which she treats the material within historical contexts, and just have a gool ol' time chatting it up.
Joining me this week is an avid reader I met in these tweets, Maya. She and I discuss Incognito, a Francis Ray novel, that was adapted for a made-for-television film. We not only discuss the movie, but the casting, the importance of a dark skinned lead, and other general thoughts about seeing this sort of content on television in modern times. I tried to put Maya on the spot by asking what adaptations she'd like to see and she turned the tables on me! Listen to hear how that all went down, haha!
Joining me is avid reader and sports maven, Jaleesa. This conversation is all over the place, but mostly centered on Fire & Ice, a Carla Fredd novel that was adapted to a made-for-television film and played on BET back in the day. Join us as we discuss how impactful seeing these films were on us, the brilliance of the casting, bits and pieces of the plot, & then I put Jaleesa on the spot as I ask for some of her dream adaptations.
In a series of podcast episodes that get to the heart of the authors whose works drew me to romance in particular, I've rounded up some friends to come along for the ride and discuss these authors, their works, and how they influence(d)/impact(ed). One of the first names on my list was Eric Jerome Dickey and I knew that I couldn't discuss him with no one other than my girl CCJ. Christina and mine's conversation begins loosely guided by Friends and Lovers x EJD, but we meander into a bevy of other subjects. It's a long ride, but it's worth every second of the journey in my less than humble opinion, ha! Enjoy!
