I’m Queenie Love—a storyteller, social worker, podcaster, and heart-centered connector. My life has been shaped by deep valleys and brilliant breakthroughs: a childhood marked by neglect, the grief of placing a child for adoption, and the loss of the loved ones who once prayed me through.

​But along the way, it was the unexpected people and places that saved me—those who saw me, guided me, nurtured me. Their presence became a light in my darkest moments. From them, I learned that sometimes all it takes is one—one person, one moment, one act of love—to change the course of a life.

The name Queenie Love started as a nickname—now, it’s a way of life. It reminds me to show up with compassion, walk with light, and speak with intention. I don’t just tell my story—I live it out loud so others can find the courage to tell theirs too.

Who am I

I move through the world as a luminary—someone who doesn’t just wait for the light at the end of the tunnel, but helps light the tunnel while we walk through it.

Through podcasting, curated conversations, intimate events, and everyday presence, I create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and inspired. Whether I’m speaking to a crowd or holding space for one voice, I carry the belief that one connection can shift everything.

My method is simple: Create the light. Be the light. Share the light. And never underestimate the power of one.

How I move

My mission is to help people feel welcomed, loved, and seen.

Whether you're listening to my podcast, sitting in a room I’m holding, or simply crossing my path I want you to feel safe. Like you’ve found a space where your truth is honored, your dreams are valid, and your healing is not just allowed but celebrated.

I know firsthand how one moment of kindness, one word of truth, one person who truly sees you can spark everything. I want to be that “one” for someone else. Because connection is powerful—and love is transformational.
