The Connoisseur’s Table
for lovers of Black romance.
My Black Romance Favorites of the Year, 2025
Soooooo What are we doing here?
Answer: I wanted to create a Substack BAD but I was meticulously reviewing my finances this year and decided, I GOT SUBSCRIPTIONS AT HOME (domain: $14 per year, Squarespace: $32 per month, canva: $13 per month, etc. so we are making a ConnoisseurStack at the house lol).
Welcome to The Connoisseur’s Table
At this table, we don’t have to justify the significance, vitality, and beauty of Black love in literature. This is our community. While social media is great for our conversations and making connections, this blog is my home base. Here, our conversations can be expanded without the confines of community guidelines or fighting the algorithms that favor content that doesn’t look like us.
