ABOUT

BLK LDY DRNK SHOP is a curated destination celebrating non-alcoholic beverage brands founded by Black women.

Our mission is to elevate founder visibility while making it effortless to discover your next favorite pour in one place.

We’re building more than an online shop—we’re creating a platform where visionary founders are celebrated, consumers connect with new drinks, and community grows through authentic storytelling.

Hi! It's Que, founder and curator.

In 2021, I founded Chicago's first dedicated non-alcoholic wine shop. Along the way, I met hundreds of founders, and I started to realize that what excited me even more than the drinks themselves was the person behind each one.

Running a self-funded business taught me to trust my instincts, and it eventually led me to ask what I really wanted my legacy to be.

The answer wasn't just to keep curating great products—it was to use that passion to build a platform where non-alcoholic beverage brands founded by Black women could be discovered and celebrated.

So that's what BLK LDY DRNK SHOP is: my love of curation put in service of a bigger purpose, and a space where I get to walk alongside other founders on their own journeys.
