The Black Experience in Design spotlights teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black/African diasporic lens.

Excluded from traditional design history and educational canons that heavily favor European modernist influences, the work and experiences of Black designers have been systematically overlooked in the profession for decades. However, given the national focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the aftermath of the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in the United States, educators, practitioners, and students now have the opportunity—as well as the social and political momentum—to make long-term, systemic changes in design education, research, and practice, reclaiming the contributions of Black designers in the process.

HOW TO USE

The Ritual of Care

TAROT & ORACLE DECKS

New to tarot? Start by holding your deck and setting an intention. Shuffle while focusing on your question, then draw one card for a daily pull or lay out a three-card spread for past, present, and future. Trust your intuition — there are no wrong interpretations. Store your deck wrapped in cloth or in its box away from direct sunlight.

BOOKS

Our books are curated to guide, inspire, and deepen your practice — whether you're a beginner or a seasoned practitioner. Read actively: underline, journal alongside, and revisit passages that resonate. Many of our witchcraft and tarot titles work best as companions to your daily practice rather than cover-to-cover reads.

INCENSE

Light the tip of your incense stick or cone and allow it to catch flame for 5–10 seconds, then gently blow out. Place in an incense holder over a heat-safe surface. Never leave burning incense unattended. Burn in a well-ventilated space. Use to cleanse your space, set intentions, or deepen meditation.

SMUDGE STICKS

Open a window before smudging to allow stagnant energy to exit. Light the tip of your smudge stick and let it catch for a few seconds, then blow out the flame allowing it to smolder. Move through your space clockwise, directing smoke into corners, doorways, and around objects. Extinguish fully in sand or a fireproof dish — never water. Store in a cool dry place between uses.
