Real Talk: 5 Cards for Liberation

Year: 2025 Duration: 4:01 Role: Creator, Performer

Real Talk: 5 Cards for Liberation is a video ritual and tarot reading using The Confluence Tarot, my original decolonial tarot deck-in-progress.

Through five powerful cards (Justice, The Tower, Death, Queen of Wands, and Three of Wands), I reflect on themes of accountability, transformation, clarity, and stepping into personal and collective power.

The video is publicly accessible on YouTube for convenient viewing.

The video features close-up shots of a crackling fire coming from a burning plantation building. Hands with long black nails, brown skin, and adorned with ankh rings gently hold and shuffle tarot cards from The Confluence Tarot deck, revealing five powerful cards. The ambient sounds include the crackling fire from the burning plantation, singing bowls, and soft chanting. Burned-in captions appear on screen. There is no spoken dialogue.
