READING THE TAROT IS A LIBERATORY PRACTICE. IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMAGINE AND
REMEMBER.


In my tarot practice, I work with individuals and groups to facilitate mindful
healing exercises rooted in storytelling. Stories are tools that help us make
sense of our lives and the world around us. As humans, we are storytelling
beings who, across cultures, rely on narrative to understand our experiences,
emotions, identities, and contexts. I am fascinated by the impact these stories
have on shaping our realities. The goal of my tarot readings is not to reveal
one's fortune or predict the future. The intention is to imagine, intuit,
collaborate, and reframe—and in the process, grow free.

PHILOSOPHY


In 2017, I began experimenting with tarot cards out of curiosity. I was drawn to
the mysticism in their images and the beautiful patterns that emerged as I
learned their meanings. Reading the cards became a hobby. Over time, the
messages I received from my tarot deck sharpened, and the cards increasingly
told powerful, nuanced, and well-timed stories—stories that freed me.

In 2021, I learned about Avery Gordon’s concept of complex personhood—“that the
stories people tell about themselves, about their troubles, about their social
worlds, and about their society’s problems are entangled and weave between what
is immediately available as a story and what their imaginations are reaching
toward”—and C.B. Dillard’s notion of remembering as an act of decolonization.
These ideas spoke directly to how I had come to understand the potential of
tarot as a tool of liberation. 

With tarot cards, we can see both the reflections of the stories available to
us, as well as imagine new ones. We are offered the opportunity to rewrite our
own stories, or to “touch our own spirits” as the character Nana says in Julia
Dash’s film, Daughters of the Dust, as she encourages her grandson to reconcile
his double consciousness as a black man. Writing about this film, Dillard says,
“(re)membering becomes a radical response to our individual and collective
fragmentation at the cultural, spiritual, and material levels, a response to the
false divisions created between mind, body, and spirit.”

I began reading tarot cards for others and drawing connections between the tarot
and my work as a writer by rooting myself in the healing and liberatory
qualities of remembering and storytelling. I’ve learned from other tarot
readers, taken courses, read books, and intuited my way into my current
practice, where I delight and continue to draw a deep sense of purpose from
helping to ignite clarity, confidence, and purpose in others.
