I am here to cut through the noise of overhyped, cookie-cutter stories and help you discover your next favorite book. My mission is to empower readers to embrace smut without shame while highlighting diverse voices, such as BIPOC authors and LGBTQIA+ romance writers, that mainstream media often overlooks.
I believe reading is a powerful tool for exploring intimacy, consent, and personal growth. By intentionally seeking out diverse romance books that feature BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse authors, I aim to diversify the romance industry one spicy scene at a time.
Podcast Host, Strategy, & Voracious Reader
I am an Afro-Latina romance reader, podcast producer, and mom based in North Carolina. For years, I let algorithms dictate my TBR, only to realize I was missing out on incredible stories that truly reflected my lived experience, especially those by BIPOC authors.
I started this platform because I wanted a safe space to discuss the diverse romance books I love, including those featuring LGBTQIA+ romance, and to highlight the diverse creators who deserve more spotlight.
Here, you'll find resources to help you navigate the world of high-heat, inclusive romance through a lens that prioritizes diverse lived experiences. My content focuses on trope roundups designed for mood readers who want to avoid the overwhelm of a massive TBR. I emphasize supporting indie, BIPOC authors, and LGBTQIA+ authors to ensure my recommendations feature diverse romance books that offer unique perspectives outside of mainstream media. Whether I am sharing strategies to overcome a reading slump or highlighting the best formats for your next read, my goal is to create a shame-free space that celebrates the power of a well-written love story.
