  • Chosen Family: Identity, Roles & How You Identify
    Oct 23 2025

    This episode of The Other What focuses on the concepts of identity and the roles individuals adopt and how they choose to identify themselves. This discussion aligns with the broader mission of the podcast, which centers on two Atlanta-based queer women of color navigating lesbian identity, mid-life experience, divorce, building community, and existing as multiple "others" in a heteronormative world. The hosts frequently discuss personal transformations; for instance, in the previous episode (TOWP-S03E01), one host mentioned becoming "pretty much a parent now" and a "powerlifter," noting she is a "new woman". This suggests Season 3 will continue exploring personal evolution alongside established identities and roles.
