Author Kelly Cain @kellycainauthor will be joining us on the podcast this week to talk about her #ownVoices romance books, which were inspired by her adoption and family experiences.. We talk about her first series, what she's learned in the years since her debut, and what this series has meant for adoptees as well. 

In Hot Topics in Romance, Yaki and I talk about the Teyana/Iman break up, Keke still with her baby daddy, and rumors about Remy Ma and Papoose. We even touch on folks losing their minds about Traylor (T. Swift and Travis Kelce)

In Reading Romance, Tati talks about her obsession with token/coin reading apps like Galatea and Yonder, Celestine Martin's Kiss and Spell, and Make them Confess by Sherelle Green.


In Watching Romance, we talk Megan Goode's upcoming Lifetime movie, Taye Diggs taking a biopic turn, and the interactive Choose Love movie in Netflix.

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.
