Rebel Rose is that beautiful vibrant rose that grows through the cracks in the concrete – inspiring hope, awe and pride in all who behold it.

We are an Afroqueer brand aiming to bridge the gap between African and LGBTQ culture by fusing traditional Maasai beadwork with rainbow symbols. At these intersections of identity our communities resist stigma, racism, and sense of belonging and we are here to empower Afroqueer people to integrate & show off all parts of themselves with pride.

Our goal is to create accessories that can be used to authentically express queerness, African heritage, allyship, anti-racism, and support for LGBTQ freedom. When you adorn yourself in these rainbow designs made in the traditional Maasai artisanal techniques, you are embracing yourself & giving freedom vibes! That is what Rebel Rose lyfe is all about.

 At Rebel Rose, we understand the challenges that Afroqueer people face – finding a sense of belonging, being authentically ourselves, staying deeply rooted in our African heritage while resisting the stigma of tradition. That’s because Rebel Rose was created by an Afroqueer designer & entrepreneur who has blossomed into herself.
