Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Have you ever wondered why, despite endless discussions, America's racial wounds seem to deepen? My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem argues that the answer lies not in our thoughts, but in our bodies. This powerful guide reveals how racialized trauma is a physical inheritance, passed down through generations and stored deep within the nervous systems of Black, white, and police bodies alike. This audio captures the key takeaways found in the original book. It unpacks the concept of "white-body supremacy" as a visceral, non-cognitive reality that triggers reflexive fear, conflict, and violence. All fluff and unnecessary information has been removed to save you hours of time, delivering actionable wisdom for collective healing. Learn how you can apply the main lessons & principles in a five minute listen. You will discover body-centered practices to help settle your nervous system, move through the discomfort of "clean pain," and begin to mend the trauma that affects us all. If you've already read the original, this audio will help you cement the most important lessons. If you haven't, don't worry, here you will find all the practical information that you can apply. This is your path to understanding the physical roots of racism and taking tangible steps to heal ourselves and our culture, from the inside out. Duration - 18m. Author - 5 Minute Classics.
