Re-listening to this @btebooks.bsky.social interview with the Black Romance Book Fest team.
It’s from January 2025, so months before the first BRBF event in May 2025. Such a great interview and conversation.

If you attended Black Romance Book Fest or Queers & Quills, you probably met Katherine Morgan, owner of Grand Gesture Books in Portland, Oregon’s 1st romance bookstore and Black & queer owned romance book store.

Day 2 of #BRBF2025 came w a few surprising meetings. I met some fellow authors that I’ve devoured their catalogs, an author I didn’t even know I’d get to meet & OF COURSE, the legendary Ms. Bev! To be a feat on the same event as someone so important made me feel so accomplished.
My Black Romance Book Festival 2025 experience kicked off with a high tea party at Queen’s Tea Party hosted by @mrsronyb.bsky.social and sponsored by Milk & Cookies Marketing.
It was a beautiful way to begin what turns out to be a dynamic weekend.

Question for Black Romance Book Fest attendees and fans of Beverly Jenkins. Is that IG everyone tags her in really hers? Or is it a spam account or impersonating Ms. Bev? I thought she was mainly Facebook. If you know, please share. Thanks! 💐🫶🏾

Compared with………
(None of those “avert eye contact, walk by quickly” experiences we as Black authors can feel at other book fests where readers don’t really know or care about Black authors’ presence…)
#BRBF2025 #BRBF #BlackRomanceBookFest #RomanceBookSky
Indeed, Black Romance Book Fest is/was the book fest where many of us (me included) felt completely comfortable, loved, appreciated, affirmed, and RECOGNIZED by readers. It was 100% all love, whether people knew you and your books or not. 💐💕✍🏾📚

The Black Romance Book Fest was excellent!
An amazing weekend celebrating everything Black Romance — readers, authors, narrators & book influencers.
BRBF was indeed a space “Where The Melanated Are Celebrated!”
