Hello and welcome back to the Biddy Taru podcast. Now, in this very special guest interview,

I am chatting with the two creators of the Black Taru. So Nyasha Williams, who created the guidebook

and was the visionary for this deck, and also Kamishka Naidu, who is the artist who partnered with Nyaasha,

to bring this deck into being.

Now, you are going to love this episode because what it does is it brings together

how tarot, art and activism can really intersect to create very powerful, positive social change.

And we're also going to be talking about how the Black Tarot deck is really challenging some of

those stereotypes and archetypes within the Tarot deck and how this deck is contributing to

representation and diversity within the tarot community. Now, if you've ever felt inspired to

even create your own deck, you're going to love this episode too, because not only do they

talk about how they've created the deck, but Nyasha and Kameshka

also talk about how to bring in that layer of activism and social change and real meaning

in the work that they have been doing and that we can collectively do as well. I know that you're

going to love this episode, so let's get straight into it.
