About this episode

LaCie Knight and Sloane discuss Black love, healing, and the craft of writing with author Britt W.

We’re back with another episode of Urban Whispers, and this week LaCie Knight and Sloane are joined by DMV romance author Britt W., author of Open For Business . This conversation is all about Black love, healing, forgiveness, friendship, community, and the craft behind writing characters who feel real. Britt shares how writing became her outlet, why she takes storytelling seriously, and how she built the fictional town of Rubiel into more than just a setting. It is a whole community with history, tension, joy, mess, and room for more stories. We get into Demi and Lyle, that opening betrayal, the emotional weight behind forgiveness, why Ruevielle matters, and what makes Britt’s books feel like “therapy sessions” for readers. Britt also gives a little peek at what is coming next in the Rubiel universe, including interconnected stories, more familiar faces, and a future novella. Spoiler warning: We talk openly about Open For Business , so read the book first if you want to avoid spoilers.
