Chosen Kin with Bia Jackson and Harry Itie

Society EN ↓ 4 episodes

Bia and Harry are two Black queer friends from two sides of the diaspora - one Black American, one Nigerian. Both living in America with a whole lot of thoughts. Every other week they pull up and talk about life, culture, identity, and whatever is taking up space in their heads. Sometimes it gets deep. Sometimes it gets messy. But it is always honest. Chosen Kin is not here to settle the diaspora wars but to prove that chosen family shows up no matter where you're from. New episodes every other Saturday. Produced by Culture of Color Collective.
