"chosen•kin" participant interest form
The intention of this Philadelphia-based group is to serve as a space where Black, Queer and Trans parenthood and all of its forms can be brought to and kept at the forefront, honored, uplifted and celebrated.

Virtual + in-person group beginning Fall 2025. Although there will be priority given to Philadelphia residents, limited out-of-state slots available upon request.

Those attending the majority of sessions would be compensated with a stipend for their commitment to their individual and collective healing.

This survey should take about 15-20 minutes to complete.
