About Jennifer Westcott Hi I'm Jen. I am a therapist, artist, mother, wife, friend. I am a woman devoted and passionate to making therapists the best they can be, the most supported and human and kind to themselves. the reason I believe so strongly in this is through my own journey through healing and encountering both great and awful therapy! As the mental health field becomes more needed than ever, it's essential to support therapists as HUMANS. We already know how to get supervision, we already know how to get training, but there are not nearly enough places to talk about the human experience of being a therapist; how it affects us and how we affect it. I grew up in an alcoholic, dysfunctional family that looked really good on the outside with professional parents and kids who were 'bright' and went far...but inside the family were secrets of incest and alcoholism. When I was 36 years old I suddenly remembered being sexually abused by my mother. I nearly went completely mad and definitely went quite mad. This started my journey to healing and sobriety and I continue to trudge daily. The help I needed took me to many therapists' couches, psychologist appointments, psychiatry appointments, alternative healing circles, and 12-step meetings. Through this inside experience, I became PASSIONAtE about what helps people and what doesn't. I changed my complete approach to being a therapist after being a client and NEEDING HELP and getting it, and not getting it. My job as a clinical supervisor and private therapist became an experiment in 'what helps' clients heal from trauma and addiction and I tried a LOT OF THINGS and still do! What I've learned for sure is this: therapists who are authentic, real, and human help clients profoundly. How then do I support therapists to KNOW their own stories and wounds and USE this knowledge to have a healing impact on their clients? How do I support therapists in breaking out of the mold they became trapped in during their graduate program and remembering the sacredness and marvel of human healing? Creating Therapist Sanctuary is my attempt to do this and to hold up therapists in the sacred and meaningful work they do. Also, shout out to my old mentor Stuart Smally from 90's SNL who 'was not an actual therapist but a member of many 12-step groups'. Stuart; I love you. Permission for therapists to be more vulnerable, making them love what they do more deny the culture of putting our 'best self forward', let's put our most wounded self forward too! Therapists support and hold each other up better than any cheesy self-care method that doesn't even work and that we try doing alone in the bath. https://www.holistichealingcounselling.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@therapistsanctuary https://www.instagram.com/therapistsanctuary/ https://www.tiktok.com/@holistic_healing4 https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-westcott-ba897023b/

How to Lose Fat Without Muscle Loss: Science-Backed Solutions with Dr. Wayne Westcott

Strength Changes Everything

Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher chat with Dr. Wayne Westcott, an accomplished international authority in health, fitness and aging. He's the author of over 25 fitness books and the go-to expert and deep source of knowledge for maintaining strength at any age. They discuss how strength training not only combats muscle and bone loss but also helps prevent obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions. Tune in to hear how you can age gracefully and improve your overall health by focusing on strength, muscle retention, and longevity. Dr. Westcott shares how he used strength training in high school to improve his running, despite his coaches warning it would slow him down--now, he sees it as the foundation for both athletic and personal strength. According to Dr. Westcott, strength training for kids isn't just about physical health—it boosts cognitive performance and academic success. Dr. Westcott points out that strength training combats muscle and bone loss, which are inevitable with aging. He highlights its role in preventing chronic issues like obesity and type 2 diabetes. “Muscles are the engines of your body,” says Dr. Westcott, explaining how muscle loss slows metabolism and leads to weight gain. Dr. Westcott shares research showing that after dieting, most people regain weight as fat instead of muscle. Strength training interrupts this cycle, helping to maintain muscle and improve body composition. Amy reflects on how weight loss is often misunderstood--it's not about shedding pounds; it's about losing fat while preserving muscle. Dr. Westcott shares a study showing that older adults who combine strength training with extra protein significantly improve muscle retention. He recommends this simple strategy for anyone over 50. Dr. Fisher discusses the tragedy of muscle loss with aging, calling it a hidden threat to health and independence. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Westcott break down a study on the benefits of extra protein combined with strength training for postmenopausal women. You can lose weight faster by simply cutting your calories. Unfortunately, this strategy means you'll end up losing both fat and muscle. It makes a lot of sense to add strength training to whatever you do, from aerobic exercises to sensible dieting. The best way to get amazing results with strength training is doing exercises that keep the tension on the muscles in a safe and effective manner. According to Dr. Westcott, many people overdo strength training and that's why they burnout. He recommends focusing on safe, efficient workouts that are sustainable and enjoyable. Amy shares the key elements of her training schedule--20 minutes, twice a week is more than enough. Dr. Westcott talks about slower-speed exercises and how they yield better results in strength training. Amy and Dr. Fisher discuss the best place to start with strength training. Keep it simple, time efficient, doable, and interesting. Dr. Fisher and Dr. Westcott agree that the slower you do your reps the better. Your goal is to make every repetition count. You can do far fewer repetitions with far fewer risk of injuries and still get awesome results. Dr. Westcott explains why most people don't go the whole way in their strength training journey. People start strength training and they try to do too much, too frequently--too many sets, reps, and exercises—which quickly leads to burnout. Lifting weights is not about how much weight you lift. It's about how effectively you work your muscles and how long the muscles are under tension. Dr. Fisher believes strength training should be simple and accessible. He advises focusing on uncomplicated, supervised programs that fit seamlessly into your busy life. We have a choice in how we age. According to Amy, reversing aging starts with building and maintaining muscle. According to Dr. Westcott, cardio combined with dieting often leads to weight loss and muscle loss. Strength training, on the other hand, preserves muscle while delivering better long-term results.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

LA based photographer Ian Spanier has been on the show a few times, with the first being back in 2019 for a conversation about Classic Portraits & Classic Lighting, discussing a portrait of actor Jeff bridges. Next up was the 2022 show talking about his Favorite Light Setups, which was fitting since Ian is an Ambassador for Westcott as a "Top Pro". In all the years I have been doing this podcast, Ian is absolutely one of my favorite interviews. He's always happy to share any of his techniques or the details of his process. I have even watched his workshop a few times, when he was a guest presenter at Cal Baptist University. Simply put, he is a top level creator, and a fantastic educator. I was emailing back and forth with him recently, and he mentioned he had a new book coming out next year, titled Cigars: A Biography. Keep in mind, Ian already has had three successful books. His first full book of published work, "Playboy, a Guide to Cigars" arrived in cigar shops in November 2009. The book is a collection of his photographs made in six countries, and spanning two and a half years. His second book project was a different subject altogether, and “Local Heroes: America's Volunteer Fire Fighters,” came out to critical acclaim in the Fall of 2012. This year saw the arrival of book three, Arturo Fuente: From 1912 by Assouline books. This one is a two-book series that features all of Ian's images in their $1200 US Retail version as well as the limited edition smaller version packed with 20 exclusive Arturo Fuente cigars retailing for $2500 US. While we're chatting about the newest book, Ian said something that struck me as a great idea for a show. He talked about "how a long term personal project helps one grow as a photographer”. I think that as creatives we all have a different path for growing as an artist, and I feel like I have heard this one often. Personal projects lets us play, and explore not only our subject matter, but our entire approach to the art. I've done shows about personal projects before, and I have always been fascinated by the personal projects I see photographers take on, but this one was different. This personal project is the result of 17 years of Ian's work. As I mentioned above, Ian is an Ambassador for Westcott as a "Top Pro", and he's also a brand ambassador for companies like ThinkTank Photo, Spider Holster, Hoodman USA, Sekonic, Naroo Global Masks, and CamRanger. So, I asked if he'd wanted to come back and talk about how a project like this, spanning so many years, helped him grow as a photographer. Join photographer Ian Spanier and me as we take a look at how personal projects can help you grow as a photographer.

Thank you in advance and we'll see you next week for another episode of practical strategy and inspiration to move your independent practice forward.ShownotesI was attracted to this book because one of the authors, Libby, is an autistic 11 year old and that felt like a voice I needed to listen to. The book tells the story of Tally, an 11 year old autistic girl as she navigates the transition to secondary school. Interspersed with the narrative are short autsim fact sheets from Tally explaining concepts like "pathological demand avoidance" and the reasons autistic people might engage in certain behaviours from her point of view. I was thrilled to read a realistic depiction of autism in a girl with a pathological demand avoidance profile. I find this is a term that is not generally well understood, even amongst psychologists and the warm, engaging and, at times, heart-shaking writing encouraged the kind of empathy that autistic people do not always receive. I particularly valued the insight into what it feels like for a child who looks like they are being defiant or furious but is actually feeling terrified. As a mum and as a professional I know this is a book that has helped me to connect more deeply and engage more fully with the autistic experience. I'd recommend it to any of you regardless of specialty. Check it out here.PS. If you want to know more about PDA I very highly...

Follow him on X @alexdjfrost About Karen theologian with a passion for taking bodies seriously as starting places for theological reflection and construction of reimagined theologies. After a career in secondary education, I undertook an MA in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Nottingham (2013) with a thesis on Marian Temple Typology. This lead me to doctoral study at the University of Exeter (2016) for a PhD in Theology and Religion. My doctoral thesis was focused on the emerging field of Trauma Theology and the ways this intersects with the Eucharist and the body of Mary. This work was eventually published as Broken Bodies: The Eucharist, Mary, and the Body in Trauma Theology (SCM Press 2018). After my doctoral work, I held a research fellowship at Durham University where I developed my theological research into bodies and their existence in digital spaces. This led me to a permanent role at Sarum College where I led an MA in Christian Spirituality. During this time, I began a new research project into the impact the experience of reproductive loss, particularly miscarriage, might have on how we construct theology. This work was published as The Dark Womb: Re-Conceiving Theology through Reproductive Loss (SCM Press, 2022). Alongside this research, I have continued to push forward the field of Trauma Theology in both the UK and internationally. This has included the publication of two edited collections with Dr Katie Cross—Feminist Trauma Theologies: Body, Scripture, Church in Critical Perspective and Bearing Witness: Intersectional Perspectives on Trauma Theology—both published with SCM Press. I have also written the first introductory survey of the field of Trauma Theology. I am the Academic Dean at Westcott House - an Anglican Theological College in Cambridge. I teach liturgy, trauma theology, sacramental theology, and pedagogy. I also teach Gender and Christian Theology for the Divinity Faculty at Cambridge University. I supervise a range of PhD projects.

This Day in Legal History: William Rehnquist BornOn October 1, 1924, William Hubbs Rehnquist, the 16th Chief Justice of the United States, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Appointed to the Supreme Court in 1972 by President Nixon, Rehnquist became a polarizing figure, known for his staunch conservatism and originalist approach to the Constitution. His judicial philosophy often focused on restricting federal authority and bolstering states' rights, positions that critics argued rolled back civil rights protections and hindered federal progress on social justice issues. In 1986, President Reagan elevated Rehnquist to Chief Justice, a decision that pushed the Court further right. At his swearing-in, Reagan hailed him as a defender of constitutional values, but opponents viewed his appointment as the solidification of an increasingly reactionary judiciary. The same ceremony saw Antonin Scalia, another conservative, sworn in, signaling a shift that would influence rulings on affirmative action, voting rights, and church-state separation.Rehnquist's tenure included controversial rulings, notably his role in Bush v. Gore (2000), which critics argue undermined democratic principles by halting the Florida recount and effectively deciding a presidential election. His leadership on the Court was also marked by decisions that curtailed congressional power under the Commerce Clause, weakening federal authority in areas like civil rights and environmental regulation. While his supporters celebrated him as a guardian of limited government, his legacy remains contentious, with lasting impacts on the Court's direction and the balance between federal and state power.A fun Rehnquist fact is that you'll see in any official pictures or portraits of him as Chief Justice, his sleeves have yellow arm bands. Rehnquist insisted on adding four gold stripes on each sleeve to distinguish himself from the associate justices. He was inspired by the costume of the Lord Chancellor in a production of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera Iolanthe. Rehnquist's addition of the stripes was an unusual departure from the traditional plain black robes worn by justices, and it became a symbol of his unique approach to the role.New York Mayor Eric Adams has brought on three high-profile litigators as he faces federal criminal charges. William Burck, a former George W. Bush White House lawyer and current Fox Corp. board member, is one of the lawyers advising Adams. Burck, known for representing figures like Stephen Bannon and Don McGahn, joins Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan partners John Bash III and Avi Perry on Adams' defense team. Alex Spiro, a partner at Quinn Emanuel with experience defending high-profile clients like Elon Musk, is leading the defense. The charges involve allegations that Adams accepted lavish travel perks and had improper ties to the Turkish government. Adams has denied wrongdoing and vowed to continue as mayor while fighting the charges. His legal team has requested the case's dismissal.Meanwhile, a legal defense fund for Adams has paid over $877,000 to law firm WilmerHale, and several staffers have left his administration amid ongoing investigations. Additionally, Theresa Hassler was recently appointed general counsel for the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, a nonprofit under scrutiny for its fundraising practices.Ex-Bannon Lawyer With Fox News Ties Joins NYC Mayor Defense TeamToday, on October 1, 2024, a Georgia judge will hear a challenge from Democrats against new election rules introduced by the Republican-led Georgia Election Board. These rules, approved in August, allow county officials to investigate discrepancies in vote counts and scrutinize election-related documents before certifying results. Democrats argue that these changes, which came just before the November 5 election, are designed to erode trust in the process and could delay certification. The rules were backed by three board members who are allies of Donald Trump, who continues to challenge his 2020 loss in Georgia. Trump has praised these board members for their efforts to increase election security, though critics, including Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, say the changes could undermine voter confidence and strain election workers.A separate lawsuit was also filed to block a new requirement for a hand count of ballots. Democrats contend that these rules create confusion and provide too much leeway for local officials to investigate alleged fraud, potentially delaying results. The trial in Fulton County Superior Court is part of a broader national focus on battleground states like Georgia, where both Republicans and Democrats are intensely focused ahead of the upcoming presidential election.Challenge by US Democrats to Georgia election rules goes to trial | ReutersAs artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries, more U.S. law firms are appointing executives to lead AI initiatives. Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and McDermott Will & Emery both announced new AI leadership hires, with Akin appointing Jeff Westcott as director of practice technology and AI innovation, and McDermott hiring Christopher Cyrus as director of AI innovation. These moves reflect the growing belief that AI will have a permanent role in the legal profession, particularly in areas like research, drafting legal documents, and reducing administrative tasks.Law firms are responding to client expectations and the surge in AI technologies, which have expanded dramatically in the past two years. Other firms, such as Covington & Burling, Latham & Watkins, and Reed Smith, have similarly created AI and data science roles since the rise of tools like ChatGPT. Westcott will focus on how Akin Gump can strategically invest in AI technology, assessing whether to develop tools in-house, purchase products, or partner with vendors.Additionally, legal AI startup Harvey's chief strategy officer, Gordon Moodie, transitioned to Debevoise & Plimpton as a partner specializing in mergers and acquisitions. These developments underscore the legal industry's growing focus on AI integration as firms aim to remain competitive and adapt to technological advances.More US law firms turn to executives for AI leadership roles | Reuters This is a public episode.

Question: Why do you prefer the KJV over modern translations?

Question: I was very upset by the answer from you about the reason you prefer the KJV.... I need you to please send me several examples of what you consider "serious" errors [in modern translations]. I would also be very appreciative of some reading material that the lay person can understand...or names of some sources....Response: Thank you for your recent letter challenging me regarding my support of the KJV. This question is too complex to deal with in a brief letter, but let me try once again. You asked for sources.The best case against "KJV only" is presented by D. A. Carson in The King James Version Debate: A Plea for Realism. He points out, in "eight key Christological verses (Jn 1:1,18; Acts 20:28; Rom 9:5; 2 Thes 1:12, Tts 2:13; Heb 1:8; 2 Pet 1:1)... the KJV fails to underscore the deity of Christ in four." Most modern translations do as well or better. The NIV scores in seven of the eight. Even Thomas M. Strouse, though strongly criticizing Carson, admits these four KJV failures (Jn 1:18; 2 Thes 1:12; Tts 2:13; 2 Pet 1:1) and explains them as "a textual problem (Jn 1:18) and the other three are translational problems." Even its defenders must admit to some flaws in the KJV.Critics fault the KJV because it comes from a Greek New Testament which was put together by Erasmus in 1516, later improved by Theodore Beza and Robert Stephanus. The latter's fourth edition in 1551 is "substantially the Textus Receptus," according to Jasper James Ray, one of its most fervent defenders. Too late in time, say the critics, and too few manuscripts as its source. Yet this was basically the Greek text that had been accepted by the Greek church in the East for centuries (the Roman Catholic Church in the West used the Latin Vulgate), earlier manuscripts from which the Greek Bible came having been worn out and discarded. Modern translations (some are worse than others, the RSV in particular) come from a Greek text developed by Westcott and Hort (two scholarly heretics) based largely upon Vaticanus and Sinaiticus, which, though older, are clearly corrupted.

Episode 45. AJ Climate Champions with Hattie Hartman and George Morgan. Two Public Practice associates explain how working in the public sector has increased their agency as designers. Public Practice is a social enterprise that places built environment professions in the public sector, primarily in place-making roles and increasingly in key roles that drive retrofit and net zero. ACAN co-founder Lauren Shevills, now lead retrofit innovation and delivery officer at Westminster City Council, explains that Public Practice has changed the trajectory of her career, enabling her to marry her passion for community and stakeholder engagement with technical architectural expertise. Steve Westcott, low carbon programme manager at Greater Manchester Combined Authority, says Public Practice has empowered him to work more strategically and ‘be closer to the conversations' that matter. Off the back of Westcott's role, GMCA is recruiting additional Public Practice associates. On the subject of retrofit, Shevills observes that one major challenge is that retrofit cannot be mandated because it's currently not part of the planning process.  A retrofit first policy requires a rethink of current guidance and Westminster Council has five workstreams underway to explore various aspects of retrofit. Westcott explains that a fabric first approach is often too costly. The GMCA is developing portfolio-wide data collection for the city's non-domestic estate to inform future grant disbursement decisions.

Appreciate the beauty of unlocking your introvert's potential. Master practical techniques for navigating daily life with ADHD. Cultivate deeper, meaningful relationships that foster mutual understanding and support. My special guest is Ky Westcott Ky Westcott (@vibewithky) is a mental health advocate and content creator who has dedicated his life to helping others on their journey of self-discovery. As someone who spent over three decades not acknowledging his own mental wellness, Ky found himself at a crossroads, which led him to take control of his life and get the help he needed. Today, he shares his experiences and insights on mental health awareness with a unique blend of humor and authenticity. Ky's message resonates with those looking for a genuine connection and an encouraging voice amidst the challenges of life. The resources mentioned in this episode are: Reach out for help: If you are struggling with mental health or wellness issues, don't try to handle it alone. Reach out to friends, family, or a mental health professional for support. Consider therapy: Therapy can be a powerful tool for managing mental health issues. Consider finding a therapist who specializes in the specific issues you are dealing with. Talk to your doctor: Your primary care doctor can be a good starting point for getting help with mental health issues. They can refer you to specialists and help you find the right treatment plan. Connect with mental health experts online: Social media can be a great resource for finding mental health experts who can provide insights and tools to help you on your journey. Use tools tailored to your specific needs: Remember that everyone's mental health journey is different. Don't try to self-diagnose or self-treat. Instead, work with professionals to develop a plan that is tailored to your specific needs. Prioritize authenticity: When sharing your own mental health journey or seeking advice from others, prioritize authenticity. People can see through the fluff, and genuine, honest conversations can be the most impactful. Seek out communities of support: There are many online Harnessing ADHD as a Superpower Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) can present challenges in one's daily life, but it can also be viewed as an opportunity to achieve unique accomplishments. By reframing ADHD as a partnership and focusing on management techniques, individuals can harness their ADHD traits as superpowers, enabling them to better navigate life's complexities and achieve their goals. In the podcast, Ky Westcott discusses his experience with severe ADHD and how he reframed his perspective on the disorder from a battle to a partnership. By doing so, he honed his management techniques to better control and utilize his ADHD traits. Ky encourages others to adapt this mindset, allowing them to see the potential strengths and advantages that come with having ADHD. Understanding Introversion Introversion is often misunderstood as shyness or anti-social behavior. However, introverts are simply people who recharge their batteries alone and prefer processing things internally. This particular trait can lead to strengths such as listening skills and critical thinking. Embracing introversion can allow individuals to leverage their unique qualities and have a more profound understanding of themselves and others around them. Ky Westcott identifies himself as an introvert and shares his love for deep conversations with a few close friends. He also dispels the myth that introverts are shy and anti-social, emphasizing the unique strengths they possess. Understanding and embracing introversion can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life experience. Mental Health and Self-Love It's essential to recognize the importance of mental health and self-love, especially when going through difficult times in life. Many people neglect their mental well-being, which can lead to feelings of loneliness, isolation, and invalidation. Self-love is about accepting one's flaws and appreciating the good things in life, allowing for a healthier mindset and improved mental health. Seeking professional help and resources is a crucial aspect of taking care of one's mental health and embarking on the journey towards self-discovery. During the podcast, Ky Westcott opens up about his journey towards self-discovery, highlighting his 35 years of not acknowledging mental health issues. He now emphasizes the importance of seeking help and using humor in his content to make conversations around mental health more accessible. By doing so, he hopes to inspire others to reach out and get the help they need, even if it's only a single person reaching out to him for guidance.

Ky Westcott, an East Coast boy with a West Coast heart, embarks on a neurospicy journey to come to terms with his ADHD, high functioning anxiety, and depression while discovering the power of negotiation and knowledge to overcome his mental health challenges. In this episode we discuss: How to navigate and manage mental health with neurodivergence, particularly in the black community. The importance of validating one's own feelings and emotions, and how to apply that knowledge in the future. The power of working with your brain, focused attention, and excitement in achieving extraordinary results. Kai Westcott is a mental health humorist, director, digital creator, writer, and producer. He has been documenting his neurospicy journey for the past year and uses his social media platforms and website to share his journey and lend his platforms to other people.

Share it with a friend. Chapter Summaries: [00:00:49] Ky Westcott is a mental health humorist, a director, a digital creator, writer, producer. He is also the person that introduced me to the term neurospic. Anything to do with mental health or entertainment or social media, kai's your guy. Listen to the actual interview. [00:04:25] The Vibe with kai has been documenting his neurospicy journey for the past year. Kai has all three ADHD, high functioning anxiety and severe depression. He loves inviting mental health professionals onto his platform to give out their insight. [00:06:27] I didn't even find out until I was 41 that I had ADHD. Now that I have a better understanding of a lot of it, I realize that I'm thankful that it did happen. I don't know what kind of person I would be today if it weren't for my journey. [00:12:24] There is not a lot of research behind black people and mental health. For so many people of color, what they're going through is discounted. There's tons of misdiagnoses that are happening to this day because there's just no research behind it. [00:16:57] I think it's also we're experts in ourselves, right? We know our particular, like how we do things. Sometimes we need help seeing those patterns or getting unstuck. And so when so I know it's only been a year, I'm actually surprised. [00:17:44] How does ADHD how has it challenged you? How is it a challenge? And then how have you adapted the way you do business or the way that you do projects to deal with that? [00:25:12] Kai: Your feelings, your thoughts are always down. You are feeling that way for a reason. What you have to do then is figure out what you're going to do with those thoughts in those fields. When you can do that, you can validate other people's feelings. [00:28:20] One of the most positive things in having ADHD is like the creativity. When you hyper focus, like you said, that's where the magic happens. I try to use my hyper focus to my advantage because one of the things that I've been really pushing myself to do is to live in the moment. [00:34:56] 100%. As a virgo and somebody who my ADHD is called Over Focused, that organization gives me calm. At work, I was often reluctant to do things that I knew I should be doing. The more we understand ourselves and how our brains work, it can be so freeing. [00:41:39] Amber: At what age does it seem kind of messed up that I still pull all nighters to get stuff done?  Ky: I find that balance because there are lots of reasons why it's not good and it's unhealthy. When I'm finding this balance, I don't fight it. [00:46:16] I want to always add some sort of levity to the conversation about mental health because it is such a very serious thing. I just want people to be able to watch my stuff and just know that they're not alone. We shouldn't be afraid to talk about it. [00:53:03] Amber: What advice would you give to somebody struggling with feeling like they're not good enough? Ky: Your feelings are valid. Once you fully recognize that you can do anything that you want, the possibilities are endless. Where is the best place for people to connect with you?

Unlike white GIs, it was made virtually impossible for African-American servicemen to marry the women they met and fell in love with in the UK during World War Two. If these couples had children, those so-called "Brown Babies" were stigmatized and scorned - with many ending up in grim children's homes.  Pausing the story of the Blackout Ripper - this episode examines the experiences of those Black GIs, their white partners and two "Brown Babies" - Leon Lomax and Terry Harrison - who have both spent decades trying to piece together their family histories.  Professor Lucy Bland's work can be seen here: http://www.mixedmuseum.org.uk/brown-babies Further reading: Bland, Lucy.
