Episode 8: My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

Sibling relationships are very nuanced. Some are filled with unconditional love, others are always brewing with jealousy. These relationships are usually authored by our parents/ guardians either intentionally or as a product of our relationships with said caregivers. Oftentimes, the relationship dynamics we experience in our formative years shape the bonds we form as adults. In this book, an eldest daughter takes us through her co-dependent relationship with her sister. It's filled with anger, frustration, love, commitment and complicated familial bonds. She did not choose her sister, but can she always choose to be by her side? To always be loyal to her blood? Is it even a choice, or simply her way of life?
