"‘I started writing In The Heights because I didn’t feel seen. Lin-Manuel responded to these concerns on Twitter saying: I loved it.Īfter we recorded this conversation, Afro-Latinx critics raised concerns about their underrepresentation in lead roles. The film adaptation of In the Heights just launched, and it took me on a roller-coaster of emotions- from joy to sorrow and moral outrage to elevation. In the Heights, co-written with Quiara Alegría Hudes, tells the story of a bodega owner in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan who dreams of a better life. In 1999, he began writing his first hit musical, which went on to win multiple Tony awards. And before that, he was a student himself.
Maybe you have the t-shirt I bought: 'My thoughts have been replaced by Hamilton lyrics.' But before Lin created the musical that has redefined the way many teachers cover history, he was a teacher. Maybe you were one of the millions who saw it on Broadway or streamed it on Disney. You probably know Lin-Manuel from creating and starring in the cultural phenomenon that is Hamilton. My job is to think again about how we work, lead, and live. I’m Adam Grant, and this is Taken For Granted, my podcast with the TED Audio Collective.

No, no, I never think he’s out of his mind, I just think that he’s.
Luis, did you think your son was out of his mind?
