Bonus Episode - Leah's Story (Part 2) Artwork

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.

Bonus Episode - Leah's Story (Part 2)

March 05, 2021 • Leah Turner • Season 1

Another pit stop before we set sail again on our journey toward reclaiming our wholeness. In this special bonus episode, your host, Leah, shares her reflections on episodes 007 and 008 "Meet the Parents."

As one of Leah's teachers used to say, "our lives are personal, not private." Yes, we all have stories that are personal and shape us into who we are. AND, our lives are inextricably intertwined. What affects the parts affects the whole. Listen to this episode and get a sense of how this healing journey is impacting your host. Join her as she comes to a new understanding of how she's relating to same questions she's asking of her guests.

Ultimately, it comes down to this: How can we, individually and collectively, transcend racism through healing?
