Founder

A’kia Benbo is the founder of HoneyQween Juice Bar, a South LA–born beverage brand turning a simple street vending lemonade stand into a powerful force for wellness and community. After realizing her neighborhood was part of a food desert, she committed to providing bold, health-focused beverages where they’re needed most. Through HoneyQween and her nonprofit, The Qween’s Bridge Foundation, A’kia champions access to healthier options, economic opportunity for street vendors and youth in the community, and a new standard of flavor, pride, and possibility in her community.

If you believe every community deserves fresh options and fresh opportunity, let’s build together! Partner with us to bring our signature lemonade, youth jobs, and healthier choices to communities that needs it most. Please VOTE WELLNESS!
