A short summary of this book can be found at the bottom of this email.\nOur Meeting details are:\nWe will meet at 11am on Zoom and at 2pm in-person on May 22nd.

NO PROBLEM!:\nWe encourage all who can attend even if you didn’t completely finish reading the book when our discussion time comes. We don’t judge\, but want to encourage you to participate as much as you can!\nBook Summary of My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Mending of Our Bodies and Hearts by Resmaa Menakem:\nThe body is where our instincts reside and where we fight\, flee\, or freeze\, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society.\nIn this groundbreaking work\, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy\, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn’t just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans—our police.\nMy Grandmother’s Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head\, but about the body\, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.\nThis book paves the way for a new\, body-centered understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system. It offers a step-by-step solution—a healing process—in addition to incisive social commentary.\nResmaa Menakem\, MSW\, LICSW\, is a therapist with decades of experience currently in private practice in Minneapolis\, MN\, specializing in trauma\, body-centered psychotherapy\, and violence prevention. He has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and Dr. Phil as an expert on conflict and violence. Menakem has studied with bestselling authors Dr. David Schnarch (Passionate Marriage) and Dr. Bessel van der Kolk (The Body Keeps the Score). He also trained at Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute.\n~Happy Reading~\nAllicia Waukau-Butler\nnwbcmpls@gmail.com\n(612) 816-3348
