We are back with a special episode. Our very own Tati Richardson is in the interview seat to talk about her latest book, Losing Sight (coming 2/11 on Generous Press).
We have guest host Shirae Ravenell from Curls in the Hood, an avid reader and journalist taking the helm to talk to Tati about her inspiration for the book, her plans for the series, and a deep dive into the magic behind the story.
About Shirae: Shirae D. Ravenell is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Curls in the Hood, a digital platform where Black culture, beauty, and storytelling collide. A lifelong lover of music, fashion, and literature, Shirae has built a career at the intersection of creativity and commerce—developing and producing apparel and textiles for some of the most recognizable luxury fashion brands.
Currently serving as the Senior Director of Product Development and Production for a premium lifestyle brand, she thrives in bringing visions to life, working alongside designers, technical teams, and factories to turn concepts into reality. But beyond the boardroom, her passion lies in storytelling—whether through fashion, media, or the written word.
At her core, she is a curator of conversations that matter—especially for Black women carving out space in media, literature, and fashion. Whether amplifying Black romance novels or dissecting cultural moments in Curls in the Hood, Shirae is dedicated to keeping Black stories at the forefront.
In Watching Romance, we talk how Black shows are being cancelled and the need to support and create Black stories. Tati expresses excitement for the new black soap, Beyond the Gates and Paradise with Sterling K Brown.
In Reading Romance, Tati praises Briann Denae's "Talk to Me Nicely" audiobook and their fabulous narrators (Full book coming 2/14).
