Black Romance Insider

This is my personal Black Romance calendar where I keep up with what’s dropping, what’s being talked about, and what’s coming up in the genre. I share it because I know how easy it is to miss things, books, interviews, livestreams, and everything in between. You can subscribe to it, add it to your own calendar, and turn on notifications if you want updates (just know it can get busy because a lot is always happening in Black romance).
