And he talks about the extraordinary importance of dealing with the past truthfully and recognizing both the

the shame and the pride of what it means to be American and in any history.

Hi, I'm Daniela Valareso.

I'm an executive producer at TED, and I'm nominating Hanif Abdurraqib and Sarah Kay for Most Likely to Make You Feel Your Feels.

And yes, as an executive producer, I did come up with that superlative category, and I do feel too millennial about it.

I'm so sorry to everybody.

Okay.

But I'm nominating Hanif and Sarah because we had them on the show together for a very special video series on YouTube.

And I knew that I would get a little teary-eyed, but I was really surprised as to...

how deeply I felt their words in my heart.

The way that I've grown up, I've moved around a lot.

And so I feel like I belong to a lot of places.

I was born in La Paz in Mexico, but I was raised in El Paso, Texas.

And I've been living in Brooklyn, New York for almost nine years.

So I have always struggled to define what home is.

And so and even Sarah really helped me see and celebrate what belonging and community could look and feel like.

Just learning how to forge community and thinking deeply about the people that you claim and that claim you feels so important right now.

I think this is the time where we need solidarity.

We need neighborliness.

We need to feel belonging.
