Kumail Nanjiani, the Pakistani-American comedian and star of The Big Sick, returned to Grinnell College — the small Iowa liberal arts school where he'd arrived twenty years earlier unable to identify a hacky sack — to deliver the 2017 commencement address. In a speech that moved deftly between comedy and genuine emotion, he shared this reassuring truth with the graduates facing the 'gaping maw of uncertainty.' When he was a kid, he thought his parents were superheroes who knew everything and were already the people they would always be. As an adult, he realized they had the same struggles everyone does — they'd uprooted their lives and moved to America in their fifties, starting over. Nobody is finished becoming who they are.
