ABOUT Rise2Queendom

Rise2Queendom is a Black-owned, women-led recovery and empowerment brand rooted in the belief that healing from addiction requires sovereignty—not submission.

We exist to support Black women in recovery by restoring what addiction, trauma, and survival demanded they abandon: identity, agency, and self-trust.

Born from lived experience and professional insight, Rise2Queendom recognizes that many recovery spaces help women stop using—but do not help them come back to themselves. For Black women in particular, recovery cannot be separated from culture, history, power, and the lifelong conditioning to survive at the expense of self.

At R2Q, recovery is not framed as obedience to a system or compliance with external authority. It is framed as self-authorship.

Through storytelling, therapeutic tools, reflective journals, and purpose-driven merchandise, Rise2Queendom creates spaces where women heal addiction by reclaiming their voice, honoring their bodies, and remembering who they were before survival became their identity.

We do not ask women to become someone new. We walk with them as they return to who they already are.

OUR MISSION

Rise2Queendom exists to advance Black women’s recovery sovereignty by supporting addiction healing through identity restoration, cultural truth, and personal agency.

We are committed to creating pathways for Black women in recovery to reclaim authorship over their lives—beyond survival, beyond shame, and beyond systems that never centered their humanity.

Our mission is carried out through storytelling, therapeutic tools, reflective practices, education, and purpose-driven products that support long-term recovery rooted in self-trust and wholeness.

OUR VISION

We envision a world where Black women recover from addiction without losing themselves in the process.

A world where:

• Recovery is not defined by compliance, but by self-rule

• Healing honors culture, context, and lived experience

• Black women are seen as authorities of their own recovery

• Long-term sobriety is sustained through identity, not surveillance

Rise2Queendom imagines recovery spaces where Black women are no longer asked to shrink, harden, or disappear to be considered “healed”—but are supported in reigning fully in their lives, voices, and purpose.

OUR PHILOSOPHY: RECOVERY SOVEREIGNTY

Recovery sovereignty affirms that healing from addiction is not achieved through submission, compliance, or erasure of self, but through the restoration of identity, agency, and authorship.

For Black women, recovery must honor culture, history, and lived experience rather than forcing healing into race-neutral or obedience-based models.

Sovereignty means a woman governs her own recovery, trusting her body, voice, and inner authority as central to sustained healing.

Addiction does not strip a woman of her worth; systems that deny her autonomy do.

True recovery restores self-trust, boundaries, and embodied wholeness—not perpetual supervision.

At Rise2Queendom, recovery sovereignty is the foundation for long-term healing, dignity, and self-rule.

OUR CORE VALUES

Sovereignty — Healing begins with self-rule, agency, and authorship.
Identity Restoration — Recovery is remembering who you are, not becoming someone new.
Cultural Truth — Our healing honors Black womanhood, history, and lived reality.
Integrity — We value honesty, depth, and ethical care over performance.
Sustainability — Long-term recovery is built through self-trust and wholeness.
Rest as Resistance — Regulation, boundaries, and rest are essential to healing.

FOUNDER MANIFESTO

I believe recovery is not submission.
It is sovereignty.

I believe Black women deserve healing spaces where they are not reduced, corrected, or erased.

I believe addiction does not strip a woman of her worth—systems that deny her identity do.

I believe recovery must restore authorship, not demand obedience.

I believe healing is cultural, embodied, and personal—not one-size-fits-all.

I believe a woman does not rise by becoming someone new, but by remembering who she has always been.

I believe rest is not weakness.
Boundaries are not selfish.
And wholeness is not optional.

Rise2Queendom exists because Black women deserve to recover without losing themselves.

This is recovery reclaimed.
This is healing with dignity.
This is sovereignty.
