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.

    Find Someone Else to Hunch!

    Chosen Kin is back with Love Island, Summer House, all the Real Housewives of Atlanta drama, and a serious case for keeping your hands off your friend's situationship. Bia and Harry dive into dating, the job market, and the one rule too many queer folks ignore: stop dating inside your own friend group. It's reality TV recaps colliding with real talk about why your platonic relationships deserve more protection than any summer fling. The conversation builds to one blunt, funny, surprisingly wise lesson about love and friendship, and how to actually show up for community.

    Be Who You Are for Your Pride!

    What do Chris Brown, cults, and the question of who gets to belong have in common? Turns out, more than you'd think. In their inaugural episode, Chosen Kin hosts Harry and Bia dive into a wide-ranging conversation, from hot topics to redemption, accountability, and how Black folks navigate both. They explore the cult phenomenon, how social media has reshaped how we consume music and celebrity, and what authenticity actually looks like. If you've ever argued about a problematic fave or felt the tension between community and harm, this one's for you.
