Join me for a candid conversation on overcoming the fear of rejection and achieving self-actualization as a former Jehovah’s witness who came out as gay. Learn how embracing authenticity can lead to true fulfillment in life.

Coming Out as Gay: My Journey of Overcoming the Fear of Rejection as a Jehovah’s Witness

As people of diasporic origin, living authentically means delving deep into our cultural legacy burdens. At ’Rich Queer Aunties,’ we go beyond financial success, embracing rich insights, truth, and authenticity.

Join me, Christabel, a nurse leader, writer, and African Auntie, as I share insights and practical resources such as self-care strategies, mindfulness practices, and deep cultural analysis. Drawing from my experiences overcoming a controlling religious and traditional African background to embracing life as an openly gay woman, I’ve gathered knowledge to help you live fully and authentically.

Each episode aims to help you uncover your subconscious narratives, prioritize your mental health, and nurture a meaningful community that truly reflects who you are. We’ll explore how merging our heritage of collectivism with individualism can lead to a peaceful state of interdependence.

Consider this podcast your sanctuary to redefine success, discover joy in the everyday, and reshape the narratives that have defined you.
