In honor of Juneteenth, we’re turning the volume up on joy, freedom, and full-body yes energy with debut author Natasha Bishop.
Her book Only for the Week is more than spice, it’s a reclamation. Set in vibrant Tulum, this story blends second chances with unapologetic truth, sensuality with soul, and reminds us that Black women deserve epic love, deep healing, and a little chaos too.
Inside the episode:
💋 The freedom of writing morally messy women
🌺 How sensuality + healing collide on the page
🖤 Why found family matters when bloodlines betray you
🔥 Big D energy, monster romance, and one unforgettable main character (hello, Rome)
🍷 Plus, a delicious round of Would You Rather: Smut Edition
This one’s for every woman reclaiming her story and her pleasure with no apologies.
