We wanted to do something a bit different here at T o S for Black History Month AKA Black Futures Month. We're here with Kenyatta Forbes of Trading Races - a card game that is one part party game, one part educational and 100 percent thought provoking. Race is a sensitive topic within any arena and we are excited to use Trading Races as a vehicle for empathy, conscious dialogue and factual conversations as it pertains to the realities of the hospitality industry. Things get a bit heated but we had a great time and absolutely adore how this game centers all aspects of the black experience through a multitude of lenses. Dive in to this extra special episode and if you are interested in getting Trading Races for yourself, or anyone - feel free to do so here. As per Vice News - this is the "blackest card game ever created" and we couldn't agree more. Stay Up Out There, The T o S Crew. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tospodcast)

What are you deeply interested in exploring right now? Is it a social issue? Is it how to twerk without breaking your back? Whatever it is, your next big creative idea is probably in that exploration. When you start that journey, everything will magically fall into place.  On this week's episode of Creatives Making Moves, I interviewed the lovely Kenyatta Forbes. She is a native Chicagoan who uses humor and her own experience as a black woman to have challenging conversations about race and identity. She is a multi-talented creative who does it all from macrame, film, performance, game design, consulting, and community activations. She is also the founder of her widely successful brain child Trading Races, a trading card game for blackness. The idea for Trading Races was sparked from Kenyatta’s personal desire to have conversations about the complexities of being a black person. She knew that there were three access points to have these conversations; with self, with your community, and folks outside your community. She thought about a tool to visually present the complexity of race that would be accessible in all three spaces, and the rest is history. Kenyatta shows that a great starting point for your next big idea, that can lead to a thriving business, starts with your deep need to know more about something. By the end of this episode, you’ll understand the power of staying committed to projects that interest you.   Here’s what we discussed in this episode:   What Kenyatta does for a work life balance that allows her to show up fully.   Why Kenyatta created Trading Races, and how she knew instinctively when it was the right time to bring it out into the world.   How Kenyatta facilitates safe space in Trading Races in order to have real conversations about race with a mixed crowd.   Why open dialogue about race and identity must be had, and why it's important to allow people to get it wrong.   Kenyatta’s greatest accomplishment, that has nothing to do with her work or a product.
