About this episode

The Lawyer Stories Podcast Episode 208 features Katurah Topps, a NYC civil rights lawyer and motivational speaker, most recently known for her appearance on CBS' Hit Reality TV Show "SURVIVOR," season 45. While on Survivor, Katurah revealed that she spent her childhood raised in a religious cult, where she was ripped out of school at 10-years-old, forced into years of manual labor, and eventually became a child bride. In this powerful interview we discuss how Katurah overcame seemingly insurmountable hardships, escaped the cult, and became a Georgetown Law graduate—and what she is doing now to help others! We also discuss Katurah's motivational speaking and coaching sessions, where she travels across the country helping trauma survivors and people who feel stuck in their everyday lives, to reach their highest potential.
