The gay activist Harvey Milk was once asked by a younger gay man what he could do to help the movement, and Harvey Milk said, "Go out and tell someone." There's always somebody who wants to confiscate our humanity, and there are always stories that restore it. If we live out loud, we can trounce the hatred and expand everyone's lives.

Forge meaning. Build identity. Forge meaning. Build identity. And then invite the world to share your joy. (Andrew Salomon)

Now he turns inward, bringing us into a childhood of adversity, while also spinning tales of the courageous people he's met in the years since. In a moving, heartfelt and at times downright funny talk, Solomon gives a powerful call to action to forge meaning from our biggest struggles.

Al activista gay Harvey Milk una vez le preguntó un chico gay más joven lo que podía hacer para ayudar al movimiento, y Harvey Milk le contestó: "Ve y díselo a alguien". Siempre hay alguien que quiere apoderarse de nuestra humanidad, y siempre hay historias que nos la devuelven. Si vivimos bien con nosotros mismos, podemos derrotar el odio y enriquecer la vida del prójimo.
