11: Capitalism vs. pay me for my work

Two queer African lesbians aunties having the conversations our cultures told us to swallow.

Rich Queer Aunties is a space for truth-telling at the intersection of culture, queerness, relational healing, and diaspora life.

Hosted by Christabel and Kachi, two Igbo daughters, lovers, thinkers, and truth-telling aunties, we unpack the emotional, cultural, and relational stuff we were never supposed to name out loud. From hierarchical colonial collectivist conditioning to people-pleasing, from religious trauma to queer love, from rupture to repair, we talk through the real work of becoming whole.

We’re not here to perform wisdom, we’re here to practice liberation in real time, through honest conversations, cultural analysis, and the relational skills we’re still learning ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt split between worlds…the obedient child and the rebellious self…the good daughter and the free adult…the hyper-competent professional and the lonely inner child…this is your space. We see you! 

Come sit with us as we explore:

• decolonial relational skills
• African diaspora identity
• queer partnerships and chosen family
• boundaries, rupture, repair, and interdependence
• the ways patriarchy, whiteness, and religion shape our bodies and relationships
• the joy, rage, humor, and tenderness of becoming ourselves

Follow along on IG @richqueeraunties @christabelmintahgalloway and @qingkachi and join the deeper community having these conversations. 

Pull up a chair. Remove the mask. Your aunties are talking.
