About this episode

The episode features an interview with Lily S. Flowers discussing her approach to writing Black romance and the cultural significance of her work.

We are back from the Thanksgiving break, heading solidly into holiday season with some sunshine from north of the border. We are excited to have @authorlilysflowers on the podcast. This Canadian-East African talent is giving us raw, real and courageous romance. We talk writing, culture and what she wants romance to be. About Lily: Lily S. Flowers writes Black romance that sinks its teeth into love, healing, and desire. Her stories center Black women finding tenderness, enthusiastic pleasure, and possibility in worlds that honor them. A lifelong lover of books, she weaves sensory-rich prose, ethical intimacy, and emotional depth across the stories she weaves. When she isn’t writing, she’s reading, parenting a fiercely curious child with her love, and building community in the indie author world. She believes in love with accountability, joy without apology, and stories that let Black women take up all the space they deserve.
