A gesture is a visible movement of your body—such as with your hands, face, or other parts—that communicates a specific message, either instead of or alongside spoken words. Gestures matter because they allow people to express a wide range of feelings and thoughts, from approval to hostility, adding another important layer to how we communicate with each other.
