Gabby’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Mending of Our Bodies and Hearts

My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Mending of Our Bodies and Hearts by Resmaa Menakem

4 highlights

Clean pain is pain that mends and can build your capacity for growth.9 It’s the pain you experience when you know, exactly, what you need to say or do; when you really, really don’t want to say or do it; and when you do it anyway.

Gabby’s Quotes

“Of all losses, time is the most irrecuperable for it can never be redeemed.”

“Well-being comes from meeting our needs, not denying them. When we experience that our needs are sufficiently met, the body and mind enter the “green zone” Responsive mode, and there is a sense of peace, contentment, and love. When needs feel unmet, we’re disturbed into the fight-flight-freeze “red zone” Reactive mode, and there is a sense of fear, frustration, and hurt.”
― Rick Hanson, Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness

“Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner.”
