Episode description

Leah Turner J.D., Professor at Maryland University and a licensed Acupuncturist shared her experiences as a biracial person. She shared her observations on biracial privileges and moving through white spaces, her perspectives on blackness, and the power of the heart.

"She raised me to be racially ambiguous. She didn't hid any of my blackness, she didn't try to deny it. I interacted with my father's side of the family, in fact, That was the only side of the family I knew. My mother's side, the white side of the family actually disinherited and disowned her. So I had no relationship with the white people in my bloodline" - Leah Turner J.D.
