How often do you see a Black or Brown woman in the world of spirituality shown in a positive light? Portrayals of women like Marie Laveau and different paths of spiritual traditions & paths are always portrayed as these evil black witches, whereas white women have covens and beautiful powers.

  • 6 - 05: The Truth about Tarot

    Do you have judgments about Tarot?

    Perhaps you feel that it’s more of a game, or maybe even that there’s something “bad” about it. The associations we might have with Tarot often come from culture, a culture which has both appropriated and suppressed indigenous ways of knowing and accessing our inner wisdom. 

    In episode 5 of I’m Not Crazy, I’m Clairvoyant we dive into why Tarot is such an important practice, why we need to decolonize Tarot, and how it can be used as a powerful spiritual practice that builds our intuition, highlighting in particular:

    How Tarot is a symbolic map of consciousness that reveals information to us through symbolism, which is our first language Tarot is an ancient divination system that we have inherited from our ancestors How until very recently American Tarot decks were exclusively white-centric, and which ones to get to decolonize your Tarot Tarot gives us access to our inner knowing and can be seen as a daily initiation practice How to use Tarot to foster the development of our intuitive abilities


    “Before there were words before we could understand putting-this-letter-with-this-one, we understood symbols. It activates our most primitive language, which is the language of symbols; the language of our soul. Sure, we can talk about Tarot for fortune-telling, but Tarot also contains and expresses so much of what is in our consciousness.”

  • 5 - 04: A powerful Spiritual experience w/Layla Saad

    Do you sometimes feel like you’re not as aligned with your spiritual practice as you’d like to be?

    Through the centuries of colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy, spirituality has been impacted in myriad ways, and today many ancient practices have been reduced from what they once were, labeled as wrong or bad, or tainted by the booming wellness industry.

    The path to reclaiming and rediscovering a spirituality that feels truly authentic to us is a profound inner process of inquiry and decolonization.

    In episode 4 of I’m Not Crazy, I’m Clairvoyant we dive into the layers we have to explore around Black spirituality and the colonization of modern Western spiritual practice, the inner work of liberation, the role of community 

    How spirituality was shaped historically to serve systems of oppression and the process of exploring what we actually believe versus what culture has taught us to believe is the norm Why decolonizing our spirituality is decolonizing ourselves and the colonization of Black spirituality  The inner work we need to do in order to liberate ourselves from the legacy of fear and shame and judgment around Black spirituality  Coming into the right relationship within ourselves and with our community of Black and Brown sisters on the spiritual path The role of rest and relaxation in emotional and spiritual growth and healing


    “We have to think about what was meant by this spirituality in its inception versus what was it shaped to become in order to serve various different systems of oppression, and in the spirituality, I am practicing today, to what extent is this spiritual belief or this practice or this behavior really the roots of what I actually believe versus what comes to be known as the dogma or the reality of the spirituality.”

  • 4 - 03: Black, Intuitive & Gifted

    Do you second-guess information that comes to you that isn’t “rational”? Are you scared of acknowledging and honoring your intuition?

    There are strong historical reasons that you might feel safer hiding your intuitive gifts, but here’s the thing: they matter. The time has come to liberate ourselves from the stigma and to normalize our intuitive gifts, to heal and guide and be able to support others.

    In this episode of I’m Not Crazy, I’m Clairvoyant we dive into what this age is asking of us, where we’re coming from and what we need as intuitive Black folks and why authenticity is the new currency, highlighting: 

    Living in the time of the cosmic healer (Chiron) and what that means for us The age of Aquarius and the implications for our culture The authentic self and the higher self; the wisdom of guidance from beyond the rational mind Some examples of famous Black people who accomplished amazing things and who were in fact highly intuitive  The journey your intuitive intelligence needs to go through of unlearning and decolonizing the mind in order to truly tap into your intuitive gifts

    “The invisible world is extremely active and is always trying to connect to us. The question is, are we connecting to it? Our authentic self is our most intuitive self. This is a wake-up call for us to not fear ourselves any longer, but to acknowledge and accept ourselves. Authenticity is the new currency.”
