About this listen

What happens when Black love is rooted in softness, caregiving, and legacy?

In this episode, award-winning author Kennedy Ryan sits down with journalist Esther Dillard to talk about her newest novel Can’t Get Enough—a story that centers a Black male caregiver, an evolving romance, and the quiet strength found in caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s.

We explore:

  • Why writing tenderness in Black love stories matters
  • The challenges and beauty of caregiving
  • How Kennedy weaves activism into fiction
  • The importance of bodily autonomy in romantic relationships
  • What “legacy” really means—especially in Black communities

If you’ve ever cared for someone, loved someone through pain, or searched for stories that feel like home… this episode is for you.
