Brianna (Wattpad: @XxBriannaMariexX) spills the tea on her contemporary, Afro-Indigenous romance All Over Again. 


Topics include: Memoir as processing. Romance with grey endings. Afro-Indigenous representation (or the lack thereof).  The financial risk of writing. Concentric circles of minority. Grief and break-ups. And what childhood fanfics we hide in our Wattpad drafts. ;)


Wattpad Reading Recommendations :D

How (Not) To Date a Popstar by @letmelivetonight

Constellations of You and Me by @Yehree

And Comfort the Wolves by @kcgalloway (AKA: me! >.<)

If any my links are off, let me know! ‘:)
I apologise for any sound inconsistencies. We’re learning!


Stay tuned next week for a bonus episode!
Where we dissect the plot and characters of All Over Again to evaluate their romance in terms of health. (Read: two psychology buffs riffing on the complexity and dangers of toxicity in relationships lol). 


Have you struggled with representation as a writer or reader? 
What have you processed through writing? 

Email me with any comments or thoughts (or a writer you’d like to hear from!!) at [email protected]

Hope to hear from you! >.< xx
