About the speaker
Isa Nakazawa is an Oakland-based writer, producer, podcaster and astrologer. She is currently the host for Stars and Stars with Isa, a weekly podcast where she sits with the most talented artists and thinkers of our time to read them their birth chart and discuss their life’s purpose. She is also the host for Transmission Studio, a bi-weekly show produced by BAVC Media, featuring candid conversations with San Francisco’s independent artists.
Isa elevates conversation to an artform – fluidly weaving references from her spiritual practices in astrology and tarot to her vast web of cultural knowledge. She is generous and warm, inviting her guests to tap into their power and purpose. Musicians, artists and actors leave her readings feeling seen, empowered, and more in tune with their innermost desires.
