On this episode of First Voic­es Radio, Host Tiokasin Ghosthorse devotes the entire hour to a dis­cus­sion with best-sell­ing author, Jus­tice Lead­er­ship coach, orga­ni­za­tion­al strate­gist, and mas­ter train­er Res­maa Menakem. They dis­cuss grief, trau­ma, Indi­gene­ity, recla­ma­tion of cul­tures, and autonomous prac­ti­cal­i­ty sep­a­rate from iden­ti­ty” and history.

As described by On Being with Krista Tip­pett,” Res­maa acti­vates the wis­dom of ances­tors and a very new sci­ence, about how all of us car­ry the his­to­ry and trau­mas behind every­thing we col­lapse into the word race in our bod­ies. He illu­mi­nates why all of the best laws and diver­si­ty train­ing have not got­ten us any­where near heal­ing. Res­maa cre­at­ed Cul­tur­al Somat­ics, which uti­lizes the body and resilience as mech­a­nisms for growth.

Res­maa has instruct­ed and trained per­son­nel exten­sive­ly in the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates (UAE) police depart­ments, as well as pro­vid­ed years of expe­ri­ence as a trau­ma coun­selor and train­er to mil­i­tary and US con­trac­tors in Afghanistan. Res­maa is also the author of two addi­tion­al books, 101 Tips for Emerg­ing Jus­tice Lead­ers,” and a pow­er­ful book on con­flict in rela­tion­ships titled, Rock the Boat: How to use Con­flict to Heal and Deep­en Rela­tion­ships.” Res­maa has served as an exec­u­tive direct­ing behav­ioral health for sev­er­al non-prof­its and a busi­ness own­er for over 28 years.
