On this episode of the School’s Lives That Speak podcast, we hear from Baratunde Thurston ’95, the best-selling author, comic, and host of the podcasts How to Citizen and We’re Having a Moment. With the inauguration of the 46th president, the nation seems poised for positive change. Thurston embraces that thirst for change and explains how to manifest it. Because the stories we tell—through both comedy and pain, in both public and private—come to define the kind of world we live in, every person has the extraordinary power to make a better world. If, that is, they choose to tap into that power.
