Title: My Grandmother's Hands
Author: Resmaa Menakem
Category: Health, Food & Nutrition, Psychology & Human Behavior, Mindfulness & Wellbeing, Culture & Society
What if racism lives in your body, not just your thoughts? Sam and Sophie sit with that question as they unpack Resmaa Menakem's radical argument that racial trauma is stored in our nervous systems, passed down through generations.
They walk through Menakem's concept of 'racialized trauma' and how it affects Black and white bodies differently, the idea of 'somatic abolitionism' as a path to healing, and the reframing of white fragility as a nervous system response. The episode also covers the collision of traumatized nervous systems in police violence and the need for somatic training.
If you've ever felt your heart race in a conversation about race despite your best intentions, this episode names what's happening in your body and offers a way to settle. The takeaway: healing racial trauma is body work, not just head work.
