Description:

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. What if the deepest roots of racism are not in our minds, but in our bodies? In this summary and analysis of Resmaa Menakem's groundbreaking work, My Grandmother's Hands, you will explore the profound idea that racialized trauma is a physical inheritance, a "soul wound" passed down through generations that affects us all—Black, white, and police. Discover how to grasp the core insights in just 15 minutes. This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, cutting out the fluff and saving you hours. It unpacks how centuries of trauma, originating in medieval Europe and weaponized in America, became embedded in our nervous systems. You'll learn why intellectual discussions about race fail and how healing can only begin by addressing the visceral, non-verbal reactions of the body. If you’ve read the book before, it’s a great way to reinforce what matters most. We break down Menakem's vital distinction between "clean pain" that mends and "dirty pain" that perpetuates harm. This version delivers all the practical takeaways you need to put into action right away, including body-centered practices to settle your "soul nerve," move through discomfort, and begin the essential work of healing yourself and our collective body.
