THE BOOK:
My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resmaa Menakem

Brookdale Community College's Reading Circle, installment #4. After the 400 Years of Inequality Timeline we are continuing together as a professional learning community and delving deeper. Trauma is a collective experience, then, the healing must be collective as well. "You will not just read this book. You will experience it in your body - the only place where the mending of racialized (or any) trauma can happen." - Resmaa Menakem. This was a joint effort between the Bankier Library with (the now retired) Judi Ungar and Diversity & Inclusion. The reading circle is open to all-- Brookdale staff, faculty, students, families, community, from our home to yours. Everyone is welcome here.

THE DETAILS:
The reading will take place on our own. You'll be responsible for getting your own book. Several are available in the Bankier Library at Brookdale Community College. Get your book and start reading.

1. On Monday April 24, 2023, 3;30 PM, we will gather LIVE to process the book on Zoom.
(NOTE-- even if you aren't able to finish the book, join us anyway. Come as you are.)
