Reading Came First is a podcast where books, beats, and Black queer brilliance collide. Hosted by Roy Kinsey (rapper/librarian), Amarii Rynée (DJ/artist), and Ryan Sinclaire Davis (DJ/cultural curator), we explore literature, music, and life through a Black queer lens.

It’s a space for those who’ve ever found themselves in a verse, a chapter, a dance floor, or a dream.
