When it comes to white body supremacy, intentionality is really not the most important thing. I can't tell you that I will agree with you when I come out on the other end, but what I will say is I will absolutely give this the attention that it deserves, and I did.
Ever wondered how trauma can be deeply rooted in our bodies? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Resmaa Menakem, a seasoned therapist who focuses on trauma and body-centered psychotherapy. Menakem delves into the concept of racialized trauma, drawing from his profound work in 'My Grandmother’s Hands'. He explains how trauma manifests in our bodies and why understanding this is crucial for healing.
The conversation explores the impacts of white body supremacy and the necessity of body awareness, self-reflection, and community building to foster an anti-racist ethos. Menakem's insights are both raw and enlightening, challenging listeners to consider their own roles in either perpetuating or dismantling systems of oppression. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of trauma and race, and how we can collectively move towards healing.
