"You're gonna need to deal with the aches, deal with the doubt, deal with all of that difficulty. You're gonna have to get up against your own suffering's edge before the transformation happens. But you need to condition that. Why do we think that when we talk about race, that's any different?" — Resmaa Menakem
Resmaa Menakem, New York Times bestselling author of My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies, is a visionary Justice Leadership coach, organizational strategist, and master trainer. Resmaa is a leading voice in today's conversation on racialized trauma. As described by On Being with Krista Tippett, Resmaa "activates the wisdom of ancestors and a very new science, about how all of us carry the history and traumas behind everything we collapse into the word "race" in our bodies. He illuminates why all of the best laws and diversity training have not gotten us anywhere near healing." Resmaa created Cultural Somatics, which utilizes the body and resilience as mechanisms for growth.
Watch this session with Peter Levine & Resmaa Menakem for a deep conversation into the heart of racialized trauma and resiliency.
