The first interstitial of the Unbound Podcast, we are getting political. Adriana and Nikki pic up the mic to unpack what makes romance with BIPOC inexorably tied to a message of resistance, and why that matters.
Our guest this week is Regina Black. She discusses the impact of Authors on relationships and romance as political. The conversation revolves around the idea that authors are not just writers but visionaries who can inspire change and create new possibilities. We'll be discussing the importance of representation in media and how it can impact our perception of ourselves and others. This episode is all about the power of storytelling and how it can shape our reality
Here’s a quick glimpse of Regina Black’s newest book, “The Art Of Scandal”
On the night of her husband Matt’s fortieth birthday, Rachel Abbott receives a sexy, explicit text from her husband that she quickly realizes was meant for another woman. Divorce is inevitable, and Rachel is determined not to leave her thirteen-year marriage empty handed. Meanwhile, Matt, a rising star mayor with his eye on the White House, can’t afford a messy split in the middle of his reelection campaign. They strike a deal: Rachel gets one million dollars and their lavish house in the wealthy DC suburb of Oasis Springs, as long as she keeps playing the ideal Black trophy wife until the election.
Then Rachel meets Nathan Vasquez, a very handsome, very lost twenty-six-year-old artist, and their connection makes Rachel forget about being the perfect politician’s wife. As Rachel reawakens Nathan’s long-dormant artistic aspirations, their attraction becomes impossible to resist. But secrets are hard to keep in a town like Oasis Springs, and Nathan has a few of his own. With the risk of scandal looming and their hearts on the line, they’ll have to decide whether the possibility of losing everything is worth taking a chance on love.
The Art of Scandal is a sizzling, conversation-starting debut about rekindling passion, the transformative power of art, and finding love in unexpected places.
