Welcome to Rich Queer Aunties (RQA), a visionary lifestyle brand at the intersection of Queerness, Blackness, and luxury. Founded and led by Christabel, RQA was born out of a transformative vision to redefine what it means to live fabulously within the Queer community.

In the sun-soaked beaches of Mexico, a conversation between friends sparked the idea of creating a world where rest, luxury, and beauty are intrinsic to the Queer experience. As the sole owner and CEO of RQA, Christabel took this vision and crafted a brand that celebrates the richness of Queer life through a multifaceted approach.

At RQA, we believe in the inherent richness of Queer existence—rich in joy, love, and community. Our mission is to curate a holistic lifestyle platform that celebrates and amplifies this richness in every aspect. From our thoughtfully designed e-commerce offerings to our engaging podcasts and YouTube content, we aim to uplift and empower our community, showcasing the vibrant tapestry of Queer life.

Collaboration is at the heart of RQA. We proudly partner with diverse, minority-owned, and women independent artists to create sustainable, Queer-centered products that embody our values of inclusivity and creativity.

Based in vibrant Oakland, California, RQA stands as a testament to resilience and innovation—a Black-owned, women-owned, and Queer-owned enterprise dedicated to redefining luxury and centering Queer joy in all its forms.

Join us on this empowering journey as we continue to build a world where Queerness shines brightly and unapologetically, celebrating the richness of joy, love, and community within our Queer family.
