Ask Where I'm Local
So many times when we introduce ourselves others, or are introduced by
someone else, we place a lot of importance on naming where we are from.
Often, this where is explained with the name of a country or state or
city. But these are not naturally occurring phenomena. Countries,
states, and cities are concepts; explaining almost nothing about us. The
experiences of our daily lives and the actual physical and cultural
locations where those experiences happen...those are the rich threads
creating the warp and woof of who we are. Watch this incredible TED talk
by Taiye Selasi and explore the question "Where are you local?"
