Do You Believe in Magic? | Dom Capossela | TEDxBabsonCollege

Dom highlights the cohesion and safety within the community despite occasional violence. Transitioning to adulthood brings excitement and anxiety, with unexpected opportunities resembling serendipitous magic, urging individuals to seize these moments and embrace new paths, as illustrated through Dom's personal experience. Dom Capossela, an editor of the weekly magazine existentialautotrip and curator of the website Questo North End!, encapsulates the spirit of the 1950s. Growing up in Boston’s working-class Italian North End, he witnessed a transformative era marked by technological advancements, cultural shifts, and social changes. Dom recently edited and published Do You Believe in Magic, an anthology capturing the stories of thirty North End residents. Rooted in the ethos of his upbringing, Dom emphasizes the importance of active engagement in daily life and the world at large. In a world still grappling with turmoil, his wisdom echoes Voltaire’s call to “cultivate our garden.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
