Menakem explores the intergenerational healing of racialized communities through his work as a somatics practitioner. Through story-based experiences, he illuminates his approach to a deeper understanding of the cultural, political, historical and social impacts of trauma, specifically on Black and racialized bodies. By understanding how trauma is stored in the personal and collective bodies, we can tap into somatic-based approaches and body-centered psychology to heal as individuals and communities.
An interview with Manakem that references material in the book “My Grandmother’s Hands” (in entry above), helping to further illuminate the impact of colonial and state-sanctioned incarceration, while bringing ideas of embodiment to repair and healing.

Lorem Ipsum est tout simplement un texte factice de l'industrie de l'impression et de la composition. Lorem Ipsum est le texte factice standard de l'industrie depuis les années 1500, quand un imprimeur inconnu a pris une cuisine de type et l'a brouillé pour faire un livre de spécimen de type. Il a survécu non seulement à cinq siècles, mais aussi au saut dans la composition électronique, demeurant essentiellement inchangé.
