Tanaesha, the Afro-Latina powerhouse behind Querída, isn’t just selling self-care products—she’s creating a movement. Based in North Providence, Rhode Island, Tanaesha’s journey from self-neglect to self-empowerment has shaped Querída into a brand that’s all about love, positivity, and transformation.
A Personal Journey Turned Business Venture
Tanaesha’s story is one of resilience and self-discovery. “Querída, which means ‘beloved,’ is my middle name,” she shares. “It represents my journey of learning to prioritize myself and embrace self-care.” For years, Tanaesha was caught in the grind, neglecting her own needs. It wasn’t until she decided to make herself a priority that her transformation began. “I realized I couldn’t achieve my goals without first understanding how to take care of and love myself,” she says.
Querída: A Brand with a Heart
Querída’s mission is clear: to make everyone feel beautiful and worthy. “Self-care doesn’t have a specific race, gender, or body type,” Tanaesha explains. “Querída welcomes individuals from all walks of life to feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident in their skin.” Every product is crafted with love, designed to boost self-esteem and inspire confidence. From candles and spiritual care items to personal care products and jewelry, Querída’s offerings are as diverse as its clientele.
A Unique Shopping Experience
Walking into Querída’s store at 1375 Mineral Spring Ave feels like stepping into a sanctuary of positivity. “We’ve created a warm, intimate atmosphere where people can relax and explore our products,” Tanaesha says. The store features beautiful displays and a photo-friendly background, perfect for capturing those feel-good moments. Querída also hosts private parties and workshops, including a popular candle-making event. “It’s about creating a positive, uplifting experience,” Tanaesha adds.
Overcoming Challenges with Integrity
Like any entrepreneur, Tanaesha has faced her share of challenges. “The biggest obstacle was learning to trust my own vision and stay true to my values,” she reflects. Despite these hurdles, Tanaesha’s commitment to honesty and authenticity has never wavered. “Integrity is paramount. It’s about building trust with our customers and fostering long-term relationships,” she emphasizes.
Embracing Community and Positivity
Tanaesha’s vision for Querída extends beyond the store. She’s committed to making a positive impact in her community through kindness and empowerment. “We aim to spread good vibes and encourage people to prioritize their well-being,” she says. By hosting events and workshops, Querída creates spaces for people to connect, grow, and support each other.
Looking to the Future
Tanaesha has big plans for Querída. “I want to expand our reach and touch more lives with our message of self-love and empowerment,” she shares. Her dream is for Querída to become a global brand that inspires people everywhere to realize their worth and potential. “We’re just getting started,” she adds with a smile.
Join the Movement
Querída is more than a brand; it’s a testament to the power of self-care and self-love. Through her journey, Tanaesha has created a space where everyone can feel valued and empowered. “Take care of yourself first, heal second, and properly love yourself third,” she advises.
