Where do you belong and what does community mean to you? These are the central questions Chris asks poet and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib while visiting Hanif’s hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Hanif is a poet and essayist of many notable works such as They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us, A Fortune for Your Disaster, and A Little Devil in America, among others. Hanif joins Chris to share his love for the city Columbus, what it means to be cared for by community members, and how spending time with others can show you how to love them better.  This episode is part of a series of bonus videos from "How to Be a Better Human." You can watch the extended video companion on the TED YouTube Channel and the extended interview on the TED Audio Collective YouTube Channel.

  • Here at LifeKit, we take advice seriously.

  • We bring you evidence-based recommendations.

  • And to do that, we talk with researchers and experts on all sorts of topics.

  • Because we have the same questions you do.

  • Like, what's really in my shampoo?

  • Or should I let my kid quit soccer?

  • Or what should I do with my savings in uncertain economic times?

  • You can listen to NPR's LifeKit in the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • You're listening to How to Be a Better Human.

  • I'm your host, Chris Duffy.

  • Today on the show, we are thinking through something that seems so simple,

  • but is increasingly a huge challenge for many of us.

  • How to be in community.

  • How do you create roots in a place?

  • How are you influenced by where you are from?

  • How do you care for your community?

  • And how does your community care for you?

  • These are really big, heady questions.

  • These are the kinds of questions that only a genius or a poet could fully answer.

  • And good news, because today's guest is both a poet and a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient.
