This episode is for anyone who is building their own version of a family. It’s for queer Nigerians and Africans who are now writing new definitions of belonging that are rooted in care, loyalty, and joy. Love that is decided, not forced, is the most revolutionary form of resistance we have.#ChosenFamily #QueerAndUnfiltered #LGBTQIANigeria #QueerLove #AfroQueerVoices #QueerBelonging #UnapologeticallyQueer #QueerResistance #HealingAndThriving #ComingHomeToYourself #FamilyIsWhatYouMakeIt</p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://igbo-queer-and.captivate.fm]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">559178f2-924b-40db-8b17-089b946a72d1</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/2524cf0e-6bcd-4fcc-a2eb-e0214c20ac2d/-GflkkGivT9iF6HaZEezuxAe.jpg"/><pubDate>Tue, 15 Apr 2025 09:00:00 +0200</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/c4490ee2-f039-4b1d-8778-83537c4800de/Chosen-Family.mp3" length="14344795" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>29:53</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>true</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:episode>12</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>12</podcast:episode></item><item><title>Faith, Fear &amp; Freedom Ft.
