There seems to be an influx of toxic podcast run by insecure, supposedly "alpha" men who are the very antithesis of manhood. And often, Black women are at the center of their ridicule. Today we talk about toxic podcasts, platforms for men who are terrible, and how detrimental they are to the community. For reference, here is a great ELLE article on the "Black Manosphere". Read Here.

 In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk Cardi B willing against Tasha K, Tristan Thompson's new baby, and Lil Mama being a "pick me". In Watching Romance, we review Vanished staring Tatyana Ali (Lifetime), Too Hot to Handle, The Gilded Age and our eagerness for upcoming projects like Bridgeton, Love is Blind and more Lifetime movies. In Reading Romance, all hail Saint by Sierra Simone (an m/m, taboo story of lust and forgiveness). In Listening to Romance, we shout out Tati's appearance on the Tall Dark and Fictional Podcast. Listen here. And look forward to The Rom Com Room w/ Mercedes and Kendra. Bookmark it here.

This week on Romance in Colour, we interview "baby author" (her words) Ofelia Martinex on her Latinx-centered romance and how putting her culture first and rewriting the narrative on what it means to be Chicana is revolutionary in romance. (Also, it turns into a Jamie Camil stan account for a bit)

About Ofelia: Ofelia Martinez writes romance with Latinas on top. Originally from the Texas border, Ofelia now resides in Missouri with her partner and their dog, Pixel. She loves good books, tequila, and chocolate. Though she identifies most with Makoto Kino, she proudly shares a birthday with Usagi Tsukino. When not writing, you can find Ofelia making visual art. Find here at OfeliaMartinez.com 

TW: In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk Nick Cannon and infant loss, Stevie J and Faith Evans Divorce, and Porsha on Tamron Hall. In Watching Romance, we recap last week's Christmas movies including Single all the Way (Netflix) and A Christmas Dance Reunion (Lifetime) as well as what movies we are looking forward to this week.

What do you get when you mix a debut author and her love of her Afro-Panamanian culture? You get AH Cunningham and her debut novel, Alight. We talk to this indie author about her debut novel, her decision to go Indie, and why Gabo is the absolute perfect book boyfriend.

About AH: A.H Cunningham is an introvert that weaves lovey-dovey contemporary romance and erotica. Her characters are Black and Multicultural adults, trying to navigate their grown folk lives while contending with all the horny feelings and falling hopelessly in love in their journey. In her writing, you will find a deep love for the entire Black Diaspora and all the ways we connect through our heritage. When she’s not writing, you can find her reading, snacking at odd hours, dancing some Panamanian song, and playing the metaphorical Tamborine as her family navigates a new move. Follow her at www.ahcunninghamauthor.com 

In Hot Topics in Romance, we talk Common/Tiffany Hadish break up, more Dave Chapelle fall out, and Tami Roman's man wanting a baby. In Watching Romance, we recap the dozens of movies we watched over holiday break including Miracle in Motor City w/ Tia Mowry and A Rich Family Christmas with Bill Bellamy (BET). In Listening to Romance, we shout out the Tall, Dark and Fictionalized podcast ft. Cat and Beatriz. These two ladies are funny and raunchy. Listen to them here.
