Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The New York Times best seller.
The consequences of racism can be found in our bodies - in skin and sinew, in bone and blood. In this groundbreaking, inspiring work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage, the physical consequences of discrimination, from the perspective of body-centred psychology. He argues that until we learn to heal and overcome the generational anguish of white supremacy, we will all continue to bear its scars.
My Grandmother's Hands is an extraordinary call to action for all of us to recognise that racism affects not only the mind, but also the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our racial divides.

Fantastic insight
A very real and honest viewpoint of how people with black bodies are disadvantaged by many systems. An absolutely brilliant tool as a white-bodied counsellor to understand how this impacts every client I see. I recommend this to everyone.

discovering each other
One of the most important books I have read, a voice that will continually change me: my feelings, thinking, living and how I relate. Big stuff, but also for me seemingly small details f.ex. reflecting with nuanced curiosity around the potentially complex reasons for calling my daughter Maya (read Angelou while pregnant) over 20 years ago. The author shows the responsibility which belongs to white bodies in a way that widens and deepens the longing to move into responsibility. This must have taken a miraculous amount of painful work.
