Shape a World Beyond White- Body Supremacy

Our Mission:

Founded by Resmaa Menakem, our mission is to provide individuals, communities, and organizations with embodied racial literacy classes that can be used to critically examine concepts of race and white-body supremacy and their underlying structural philosophy.

Somatic Elicitation Practice

Somatic Abolitionism is a living, embodied practice and culture building that requires endurance, adjustment, stamina, discernment, and resource cultivation. These traits can be built, day by day, through reps. This course will help you build these traits, to recognize the impact of racialized trauma, unhealed pain, and body constriction from White Body Supremacy, and to better identify and respond to these somatic elicitations.
