Menakem argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans--our police.My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.Paves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy--how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system.Offers a step-by-step healing process based on the latest neuroscience and somatic healing methods, in addition to incisive social commentary.ABOUT THE AUTHORResmaa Menakem, MSW, LICSW, SEP, is a leading voice in today's conversation on racialized trauma. He created Cultural Somatics, which utilizes the body and resilience as mechanisms for growth. As a therapist, trauma specialist, and the founder of Justice Leadership Solutions, a leadership-consulting firm, Resmaa dedicates his expertise to coaching leaders through civil unrest, organizational change, and community building. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/napa/teach-truth-book-club-my-grandmothers-hands-by-resmaa-menakem/100001984655098826 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Napa - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Napa Bookmine - **lat**: 38.2960849 - **long**: -122.2905471 - **full address**: Napa Bookmine, 1625 2nd Street, Napa, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Teach Truth Book Club: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e38cd66b943bf9aa2dc3b0f1bfec812b28660e85054e4b80ea597e1ede08ee4c-rimg-w1200-h600-dc681314-gmir.jpg?v=1774747628 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Teach Truth Book Club: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem being held? - **A:** Teach Truth Book Club: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem takes place on Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Napa Bookmine, 1625 2nd Street, Napa, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Teach Truth Book Club: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem? - **A:** Teach Truth Book Club: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem is organized by Napa Bookmine. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Teach Truth Book Club: My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e38cd66b943bf9aa2dc3b0f1bfec812b28660e85054e4b80ea597e1ede08ee4c-rimg-w1200-h600-dc681314-gmir.jpg?v=1774747628", "startDate": "2026-05-11T18:00:00-07:00", "endDate": "2026-05-11T19:30:00-07:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/napa/teach-truth-book-club-my-grandmothers-hands-by-resmaa-menakem/100001984655098826", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Napa Bookmine", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1625 2nd Street", "postalCode": "94559", "addressLocality": "Napa", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.2960849", "longitude": "-122.2905471" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for a special discussion!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-29", "availabilityEnds": "2026-05-11T19:30:00-07:00", "validFrom": "2026-03-29", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/napa/teach-truth-book-club-my-grandmothers-hands-by-resmaa-menakem/100001984655098826" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-03-29", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-03-29", "url": "https://allevents.in/napa/teach-truth-book-club-my-grandmothers-hands-by-resmaa-menakem/100001984655098826", "price": 0, "name": "Free Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Napa Bookmine", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/napa-bookmine/18837863", "description": "Napa Bookmine has been downtown Napa's independent and used bookstore for the last eight years.
