Why Healing Racism Begins With the Body, Resmaa Menakem

From the Centre for Compassionate Studies at the University of Arazona, an interview with Resmaa Menakem on Why Healing Racism Begins With the Body

Trauma therapist and author of My Grandmother's Hands, Resmaa Menakem talks honestly and directly about the historical and current traumatic impacts of racism in the U.S., and the necessity for us all to recognize this trauma, metabolize it, work through it, and grow up out of it. Only in this way will we at last heal our bodies, our families, and the social body of our nation. Though he speaks from an American viewpoint, his observations and solutions are not confined to any country but have world wide applications.
