My guest this week is the effervescently funny Danica Nava, author of The Truth According to Ember, and the forthcoming Love Is a War Song, hitting bookstores in July 2025. Ember and Danuwoa's story is the first traditionally published romance novel by a Native author!
We talked about the woeful history of Native representation in pop culture and how little has changed (I’m looking at you, Taylor Lautner). We also discussed surviving the hell of corporate America, channeling resentment into inspiration, and our case for bringing back the big budget rom-com.
