Check out our #learn2learn blog this week at Brownicity.com where we explore “racial healing.” 👏🏼👏🏾👏🏿“When I first heard the term ‘racial healing,’ I’m not sure I fully understood what it meant, but I knew it was important…It would probably be safe to say that at the time, I thought it applied more to Black people than to white people like me because I didn’t experience racism. Over the next few years…I saw how I needed to heal from [racism], too.” ❤️“This past year I discovered Resmaa Menakem. He has a unique body of work that combines trauma work with body-centered (somatic) psychotherapy and racial justice. I’ve not heard anything else like it. He developed a new language and vocabulary for racial healing that emerged from years of working with communities around their racialized trauma.” 👇🏼👇🏾👇🏿“You have to start with this construct—that the white body is the supreme standard against which all bodies humanity are measured, structurally and philosophically. So then worth is structural not innate. Race has always been a species question, determining that people of color are not human.” — Resmaa Menakem📰 Read the blog, 👀 watch the interview with Resmaa Menakem and get a copy of his book 📚 “My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies.” www.amazon.com/dp/1942094477/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_PT9KQPDPYJ9Y76KREB6A #learn2learn #racialhealing #resmaamenakem #mygrandmothershandsbrownicity.com/blog/my-racial-healing-journey/ ...
