Dr. Resmaa Menakem is an author, artist, and psychotherapist whose work centers on the impact of racialized trauma on the human body. He is widely known for his New York Times best-selling book, My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending our Hearts and Bodies, a landmark work that explores the embodied legacy of racism and white body supremacy in America through the lens of trauma and body-centered psychology.
As the first self-discovery book to address these themes in such a direct and embodied way, it continues to stand as one of the most influential resources for those seeking to understand and live the lessons of antiracism. His work invites deep reflection, healing, and a more conscious relationship with the ways trauma lives in the body.
