Write of Passage by Vanessa Riley
Color Me Problematic
In this reflective essay, Vanessa Riley explores the ongoing presence of colorism and classism in contemporary life, from reality TV to historical memory. Triggered by tweets and TikToks around Love Island contestants Nic and Olandria—particularly the racialized critiques of Olandria’s poise and beauty—Vanessa dives deep into how dark-skinned women continue to be policed, misunderstood, or erased in the public eye. Through a blend of cultural critique, personal reflection, and historical storytelling, she draws parallels between today’s biases and centuries-old systems of oppression rooted in slavery and colonialism.The narrative connects modern pop culture to historica...

Lessons from Indoctrination
In this episode of Write of Passage, Vanessa reflects on an unexpected lesson learned at 30,000 feet. On a turbulent return trip from the Historical Novel Society conference, she witnesses firsthand how indoctrination quietly seeps into our lives—not through shouting, but through repetition, comfort, and curated fear. From her own journey as a historical fiction writer breaking free of industry expectations, to the quiet propaganda playing beside her on a flight, Vanessa explores how narratives shape perception, silence empathy, and reinforce harmful patterns. This is a call to wake up, speak plainly, and reclaim the power of story.Featuring book re...

When the Plan Falls Apart
It probably won’t surprise you—at least not once you’ve met me—that I’m a planner. My name is Vanessa Riley, and I’m a serial planner. There isn’t an outline I don’t love, nor a spreadsheet that doesn’t call my name. If I could design a map of a map of a map of systems accompanied by a flowchart—I’d consider it bliss. Come to one of my book events and ask what kind of person or writer I am, and I’ll often tell you: I’m a nerd’s nerd, a meticulous...

Fellowship and Flowers: A Weekend That Filled My Soul
Have you ever not known how empty you were—until a weekend of feasting showed you just how hungry you really are?That was me, this weekend. I spent it in the company of 1,500 readers and fellow authors at the Black Romance Book Fest, and I left with my heart and spirit overflowing. Now, you might say, “Vanessa, I get your newsletter.
