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.

Welcome back to the Rich Queer Aunties Podcast! In this episode, we’re diving into the topic of overcoming the fear of rejection and why it's crucial for self-actualization.
I remember when I made the decision to come out as gay. It was a tough one because I grew up as a Jehovah’s Witness, where the you’re only allowed to associate with people “in the truth” and shun “worldly people”. only associates with fellow believers.
What this means is that if you ever commit a disfellowshipping worthy sin - such as being gay - they can cut you off. And that idea is that by cutting you off, you will be eventually starved of love enough to come to your senses and “return to Jehovah.”
The fear of rejection was very real, but I knew I needed to be true to myself. So, I made the tough decision to come out.
In this episode, I’ll be sharing how I overcame that fear of rejection and the steps I took towards self-actualization.
I want you to know that it is possible to make decisions that bring you closer to your inner self, even if it feels like you're going to lose everything. So join us for this episode, and let's dive deep into this topic.
