Re-listening to this @btebooks.bsky.social interview with the Black Romance Book Fest team.

It’s from January 2025, so months before the first BRBF event in May 2025. Such a great interview and conversation.

This excellent piece about last weekend’s inaugural Black Romance book fest is giving me enormous fomo. It’s amazing to see all the social media from the event, but this piece is next level—really pulls it all together.

First Black Romance Book Fest held in Atlanta
I thought I was going to a book conference, but what I got was a crash course in all the ways that Black romance novels are transforming the lives and minds of readers.

Sunday morning things: coffee and catching up with June reads in my #AlwaysFullyBooked Planner. The pen we got from #BlackRomanceBookfest is my new fave pen. It’s smooooooth.
a spiral-bound planner with a vibrant retro design. The cover features bold text that reads, “BOOKS ARE MY HAPPY PLACE,” in a playful, vintage-style font with starbursts and marquee sign elements. Along the bottom of the cover, it says “ALWAYS Fully BOOKED 2025” in metallic rose gold lettering, with palm trees in silhouette. Resting on top of the planner is an orange pen with black text that reads “Black Romance Book Fest.” To the right of the image is a partially visible pink insulated tumbler with a stainless steel lid. In the background is a laptop with a Goodreads reading challenge page open, listing books including “Plus Size Player” by Danielle Allen and “King of Ashes” by S.A. Cosby.

#BlackRomanceBookFest lit a fire. There is NOTHING like being in a room full of Black readers and authors. I felt seen in that room.

I was telling friends that I just assume people don't read the books or listen to the pod or sub to the newsletter and people were like I DO!

Love it.
