Honoring the extraordinary life of Jewel Thais-Williams, a true pioneer and beloved pillar of Black queer Los Angeles, who has passed away at 86. As the founder of Jewel’s Catch One, she created a safe space where Black LGBTQ+ joy, resistance, and community could thrive.
Jewel was more than a club owner; alongside her wife and partner of over 40 years, Rue, she was a tireless activist, healer, and champion for HIV/AIDS care during a time when so many were left without hope. Together, they established Rue’s House, and through her work with the Minority AIDS Project and the Village Health Foundation, Jewel touched countless lives with compassion, dignity, and love.
Her legacy is a powerful reminder that safe spaces save lives, and that radical self-love and care are acts of resistance. In her own words from 2020: "I would probably start with learning to love yourselves. Look in the mirror every day, and say I love you just as you are. There's a universal plan for everybody's presence here on this planet. ... I just think that everything goes according to plan. The important part is you just being willing to carry out whatever you wish in the end."
Rest in power, Jewel Thais-Williams 🪽
