Season 4, Episode 24: Diversity, Inclusion, and Urban Fantasy (Ft. Kharma Kelley)

Author: Tati R. and Yaki E April 14, 2023 Duration: 1:12:18

This week's episode is especially near and dear to Tati's heart. We talk to Kharma Kelley, author of nearly a dozen paranormal and urban fanatsy books as well as the founder of Inclusive Romance Project, a place of mentorship and a collective of writers dedicated to diversity within the romance genre and its subgenres. Without IRP and the mentorship, Tati certainly wouldn't be here as a writer. For more information on Kharma and IRP, visit her website here:

There’s a particular comfort in losing yourself in a romantic story, whether it’s on screen or on the page. Romance in Colour is that feeling turned into conversation, hosted by real-life friends Tati R. and Yaki E. Tati, a romance author, and Dr. Yaki, a psychologist, share more than just a friendship-they share a deep, abiding love for romance narratives and a specific lens shaped by their experiences. This podcast lives in the space where their fandom meets thoughtful discussion, breaking down everything from beloved TV movies to trending romance novels. They aren’t just reviewing plots; they’re diving into the emotional mechanics, the cultural touchstones, and the specific joys of seeing stories through a Black Xennial perspective. You’ll hear the easy rapport of two friends who get why a certain trope works or why a character’s journey resonates, blending professional insight with genuine fan enthusiasm. It’s for anyone who believes a perfect afternoon involves a great love story and wants to unpack it with some smart, funny people. Tune in to hear them quench that mutual thirst for romance and hand you the glass, episode by episode.
