What is Rachel True doing now?
True is now the author of “True Heart Intuitive Tarot,” a guidebook to tarot which includes a 78-card illustrated tarot deck as well as 22 memoir essays about True’s “mystic-minded Hollywood life.” She’s also still acting and was cast in season 2 of “Harlem.”
In 2017, it was reported that True was working as a tarot card reader in Los Angeles’ Echo Park neighbourhood.
True later told Dazed Digital in 2019 that it was difficult to make it in Hollywood as a Black actress, leading her to start her own tarot business at House of Intuition in Los Angeles.
“Hollywood made it clear I was not the leading lady but her quirky best friend,” she said.
