My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resmaa Menakem
Good information interspersed with harmful rhetoric (i.e. fatphobia, "red bodies", "yellow bodies", etc.) as well as being a bit of a technical mess. So many parts of this book were both redundant and contradictory, somehow. Not to mention the odd advice, such as in your fight against your internalized white supremacy to (given you are not satisfied with your birth name) name yourself after a Black historical figure and the example given is Rosa Parks.
While I see the good within this book, it wasn't for me.
