Read and practice your way through My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem in community with me - Emily Linderman (White body, she/her), Charlotte Moroz, and Music that Makes Community on alternating Tuesdays starting April 26 and concluding July 28. If that day of the week and time don’t work for you MMC is offering two other options. More information and registration link below.

From MMC’s newsletter:

”Almost two years ago, Music that Make Community began a more intentional journey toward building anti-racist culture. And we continue to ask: what does it look like to move beyond simply talking about representation and diversity? How can we center and celebrate BIPOC experiences, stories, and culture with hospitality and care? And, building on the work of Resmaa Menakem and others, how can we help support individual and communal healing from the racial trauma held in our bodies and structures?

In that spirit, we invite you to join our next My Grandmother’s Hands book study*, beginning the week of April 25, 2022. We're so grateful for Conie Borchardt journeying with MMC for the third time, shaping eight sessions exploring Resmaa Menakem’s book and practices, including singing together as a way to anchor our bodies and support the mending of white-body supremacy and racialized trauma.

*I’ve heard Resmaa Menakem say, “you don’t read my book, you do my book!” Join us as we do the work of healing and tempering our nervous systems and tuning our collective orchestra of vagus nerves and psoas muscles.
