Introduction

What does family mean to you? Let us challenge the narrow meaning of family. Embrace diverse families, show care, & support. We need to end the discriminative structures towards the diverse forms of families. What is the Real and the African Narrative that we don’t always show, share and speak about? Who is Family? Is it capped at father, mother, baby? is your family only capped at this? Aside from the nuclear family, Our/My family has Single mothers, divorced parents, polygamous families, adopted kids, sex workers, child headed households, LGBTQ+, Intersex children, People living with HIV, kids with different dads, surrogate moms, Children born from IVF, gender diverse, queer families, two mom families, two dads families, transgender parent/s families, non-binary and gender non-conforming parents families, asexual parents families, chosen families etc & we love them all. They’re family & they belong.
