Sue Monk Kidd, the best-selling author of 'The Secret Life of Bees,' delivered her commencement address alongside her daughter Ann Kidd Taylor at Scripps College. Kidd built her speech around the idea that personal passion and the world's needs are not separate things — they are meant to be paired. She quoted writer Fredrik Buechner: 'You are called to the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.' Kidd shared how she felt an internal exile at age 29, a homesickness for her own place of belonging, and on the morning of her 30th birthday announced to her husband and toddlers that she was going to become a writer. They went right on eating their cereal. She spent years developing her craft, but the breakthrough came when she began asking not just 'How can I serve my work?' but 'What does my work serve in the world?'
