Resmaa Menakem is a healer, therapist, and a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in the healing of racialized trauma. He is also the founder of the Cultural Somatics Institute and best known as the author of the New York Times bestseller My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. Resmaa is the originator and key advocate of Somatic Abolitionism, an embodied antiracist practice of living and culture building.
As a cultural trauma navigator, Resmaa's work focuses on making the invisible embodied and visible. He applies embodied, somatically based concepts and practices to healing and releasing historical and racialized trauma. He speaks not only about how white supremacy has harmed people of color, but also how the traumas of colonialism, imperialism, and violence have been transmitted from one generation to the next in white bodies. Resmaa believes we must recognize the trauma embedded in our bodies and accept the necessary pain of healing to move through and out of our trauma, enabling us to mend our hearts and bodies.
Join Resmaa for a transformative conversation with CIIS Chief Diversity Officer Rachel Bryant examining how we can heal the historical and racialized trauma we carry in our bodies and our souls.
