TED Talk: Taiye Selasi: Don't ask where I'm from, ask where I'm a local

"When someone asks you where you're from … do you sometimes not know how to answer? Writer Taiye Selasi speaks on behalf of 'multi-local' people, who feel at home in the town where they grew up, the city they live now and maybe another place or two. 'How can I come from a country?' she asks. 'How can a human being come from a concept?'"
