The Whole Five-Fifths
This podcast is about transcending racism through healing. Join this journey with your host, Leah Turner, a biracial woman who identifies as Black -- descended from passengers of slave ships and the Mayflower; a former attorney turned trauma-informed acupuncturist. Leah and her guests discuss healing from the painful effects of racism and offer practical strategies for reclaiming our wholeness. The Whole Five-Fifths podcast is our generation's response to the Three-Fifths Compromise of centuries past. It is a reclamation of our collective human dignity. This podcast is for anyone who is ready to heal from racialized trauma and step into the truth of who we truly are: We are Whole. We are One. We ARE Five-Fifths. New episodes drop on Mondays.
