TWKN EP 005 Deneen L. Garrett and Ty Robbins

This Woman Knows

00:00 / 34:24

In honor of Pride Month, Women of Color: An Intimate Conversation returns with a deeply resonant episode that uplifts queer Black love and the stories that rarely make it to the mainstream. In this fifth installment streaming on the TWK Network, host Deneen L. Garrett sits down with Ty Robbins, a native New Yorker and proud LGBTQIA community member for 28 years. Ty shares the inspiration behind her debut book The Color of Honey, a bold and beautiful collection of Black lesbian love stories that center tenderness, risk, and representation. This episode not only revisits the podcast’s original vision—creating space for LGBTQ+ women of color and allies—but reaffirms the power of storytelling to heal, connect, and affirm. It’s a fitting celebration of Pride, purpose, and the kind of love that refuses to be erased.
