We know, we know... we've been gone for a minute but trust me we had legit excuses. Life has been life-ing. But we are excited to give you a pre- BRBF podcast with @author_karmenscott . A talented author of romance, we discuss her growing catalog and how she creates dynamic, compelling characters.
About Karmen:
Karmen Scott, a wife and mother of two, is a native of Augusta, Georgia. She received her high school diploma from Lucy Craft Laney High School in 2014 and her bachelor’s degree in marketing from Brenau University in 2020. However, Karmen’s first love is writing, which she has pursued since she learned to create stories.
Karmen attended Georgia Gwinnett College from 2014 to 2017, where she wrote her very first novel, Inexperienced, during her freshman year. She is now the published author of ten books, including one complete series and one that is currently ongoing. When she’s not writing and creating universes, she’s working on art or spending time with her family as “Bae” and “Mommy”. Although she wears many hats, writing will always be her passion. She is also the founder of Child of Purpose, LLC, and has a blog where she writes inspirational pieces to encourage her followers. Karmen hopes to continue her journey as a writer and published author in the years to come.

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.
