Culture Lit is where Black women’s love stories, healing journeys, and cultural brilliance take center stage.Every week, host Octavia Marie dives deep into the romance novels, authors, and conversations that are reshaping how we see Black love — on the page and in real life. From body-positive heroines to soft life living, from second-chance love to the rise of Black romance adaptations hitting our screens, we’re exploring what it means to be seen, celebrated, and loved on your own terms.This isn’t just a book podcast. It’s a space for Black women who are ready to reclaim joy, prioritize peace, and say yes to the stories that make us feel whole.Beyond the episodes, there’s a membership space — The Intentional Edit — for the women who want to go deeper: more reads, more recs, and a community that actually gets it.Whether you’ve been reading Black romance for years or you’re just finding your way in — welcome home. Grab your tea, get cozy, and let’s get into it.
