Resmaa Menakem The week of April 19, 2021 was brutal. People around the world, but especially here in the U.S., were waiting on a verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial. But then there were other killings that same week of Black bodies by police. It was almost too much to process. But this conversation with healer, therapist, and NYT best selling author Resmaa Menakem gave me a deeper perspective. Resmaa and I spoke a few hours before the verdict in the trial came down. We talked about George Floyd, we talked about other Black bodies murdered by police. We also spoke about trauma, Black trauma, white trauma, and the trauma that is held in the bodies of those in blue. We spoke about white body supremacy and what we all need to do to heal that for the sake of all people. We spoke about the role of community in the healing process and how we all need people who not only care for us but hold us to account. In the context of the trial of the murderer of George Floyd hanging over us, this conversation was especially powerful. After speaking with Resmaa I had a more comprehensive direction for future action and I believe you will too. For a written transcript of this conversation click here. Resmaa, Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP, is a healer, therapist and NYTimes bestselling author of My Grandmother's Hands. Resmaa Menakem is a visionary Justice Leadership coach, organizational strategist and master trainer. To help Justice leaders really realize their potential in the areas of Equity & Race, Resmaa created cultural somatics, which utilizes the Body & Resilience as mechanisms for growth.

You can learn more about him, and sign up for his free Racialized Trauma 5-Day eCourse, at https://www.resmaa.com/ The HIPP Theory Francesca and Resmaa begin their conversation about trauma, and how racialized trauma impacts an entire group of people rather than just the individual. Resmaa shares his HIPP Theory, which articulates the different aspects of trauma, including what is passed down through the generations. “What actually happens when you watch somebody being whipped? What actually happens to the body that’s witnessing that?” – Resmaa Menakem Dale Borglum talks about working with trauma on Healing at the Edge Ep. 34 White Body Supremacy (19:07) Resmaa takes over the show and asks Francesca about her experience around the concept of white body supremacy in the spiritual community. They discuss the fallacy of color blindness and the danger of taking a spiritual bypass when it comes to racialized trauma. “There is no heat and no energy in comfort. And this whole structure is built around white comfort. The only heat and energy is in the edge of leaning into the suffering of not being aware that there is a structure that is built on white bodies being the standard of human.” – Resmaa Menakem Discomfort Tolerance (40:11) Francesca dives deeper into the idea of discomfort tolerance. Resmaa talks about needing to put in the reps and slowly work your way into being able to hold onto the discomfort. It’s about biting off a little bit at a time, not filling your mouth with more than you can chew. “The moment we start to experience any discomfort. We create these very elaborate dodges around it that look like healing, that look like social moving and caring, but are actually dodges.” – Resmaa Menakem
