Rich Queer Aunties (RQA) is a weekly podcast hosted by Christabel Mintah-Galloway examining the intersection of Blackness, Queerness, Mental Wellness and Easeful Living.

We’ll have weekly guests discussing multiple subjects focused on encouraging Black queer folks to:

• live an authentic life that’s truly theirs. Devoid of limiting subconscious beliefs foisted upon us by oppressive systems while embracing their inherent self worth!

• invest in relationship building that’s based on mutual care and respect for each other as autonomous beings. We’ll delve into all things: relationships, polyamory, and sex.

• Prioritize play and rest as the foundation of wellbeing, especially for those with trauma and resultant cPTSD.

• develop emotional agility needed to live an equanimous life.

• identify self-worth issues that come up because of living as marginalized people under multiple oppressive systems.

• engage in wealth building as a tool to promote easeful living for self and others.

Our mission and hope is to remind you that you’re not alone in your journey, and that mental well-being and a rich life is a possibility for you. Being queer is a rich life meant to be celebrated and centered.
