Author: Tati R. and Yaki E March 13, 2026 Duration: 37:47

Hey folks! No guests today. Just Terri and Tati talking about a very lackluster Black History Month in the bookish space and our general dissapointment with the new DEI cutbacks which seem to be affecting Black visibility.


In Reading Romance, Tati and Terri give some of their faves from JahQuel J and Xio Axelrod.


In Watching Romance, Tati talks Bridgerton and Terri gushes about the return of The Gilded Age.

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.
