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.

The Whole Five Fifths Podcast | 2020 Trailer

December 21, 2020 • Leah Turner

With 2020 drawing to a close, it's time to get to the work of healing. This year, with its global pandemic and uprisings for justice all over the world, many were shaken awake to a new awareness of what must be done to right the deep-seated wrongs of our history. Structural racism still infects our systems and must be dismantled -- let us not go back to sleep. In the aftermath of our collective pain and losses, 2020 has proven to us all that we can endure hardships and persevere, just as our ancestors did before us. And now, it is time to mend and recover. Now is the time to reclaim our wholeness. Now is the time to heal.

Join your host, Leah Turner, as she embarks on a mission to facilitate a cultural shift through healing. In this *new* podcast, which will debut in January 2021, Leah will seek to uplift BIPOC voices, so that we can all listen deeply and draw on our collective wisdom to get to the truth: We are Whole. We are One. We are Five-Fifths.
