EP 8: Familia Found: Healing in Chosen Community

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions about suicide and its impact on mental health. Listener discretion is advised. In this episode, I’m diving into the concept of chosen family within the queer Latinx community. When biological families turn their backs, chosen families step up, providing love, connection, and belonging. I interviewed Damian, who shared his journey of navigating rejection and creating affirming spaces of support. Together, we explore the cultural importance of "familia," celebrate resilience, and highlight the healing power of chosen communities.
