You're so right.

Does #ResmaaMenakem discuss culture building in his book #MyGrandmothersHands?

@meoutloud that's awesome. I wasn't familiar with Dr. Nichols but his work definitely sounds in alignment with #abolition and other justice-aligned values.

I'm a huge fan of #BellHooks & #Freire and adore the work of #AdrienneMareeBrown

#ResmaaMenakem's work is so provocative. I've only read about half of #MyGrandmothersHands (Mostly because i needed time to process) but I really appreciate his candor and the way he addresses how the trauma of oppression gets stored in the body.

His book was the reason I started seeking more information about #somatics and the work #healingjustice practitioners in #movement spaces

what I finally got was the latest in the works of #ResmaaMenakem I think I should cheer his first work on the topic "My Grandmothers Hands", a wonderfully accessible book for those who need to understand a messed up topic being a descendant of the body of work "The Body Keeps The Score". @bookstodon @blackmastodon @blackauthors if no one is gonna use the guppies then I gotta.

@owlcyclop oh interesting. I haven't read #TheQuakingOfAmerica yet but I have heard #ResmaaMenakem discuss the text on IG Live. I'm always struck by what a candid and insightful truth teller he is.

Any folks interested in discussing #healingjustice and healing #modalities like #somatics #polyvagaltheory #ifs etc?

Haven't read #BesselVanDerKolk's #TheBodyKeepstheScore but I've read about half of #ResmaaMenakem's book #MyGrandmothersHands and taken a somatics course.

Would love to be in a community of practice with other folks who find this information useful
