The guest, Resmaa Menakem, was the author of this book, which discussed healing bodies from racialized trauma, suggesting trauma lives in bodies of all colors, including white bodies.
He's also the author of a really interesting book called My Grandmother's Hands which people in my life have been recommending to me for years.
In your book, you really talk about white bodies supremacy quite beautifully so I'd love to hear you.
In that book, you really give such a useful and clear description of trauma and then it leads to many other useful and clear concepts but does it feel right to you to start with the trauma?
And so in my grandmother's hands one of the things that I really tried to do was say, look, what we're dealing with is not an individual horror.
