E138 Tyler Merritt - Loved, Seen, & Cared For
Tyler Merritt of The Tyler Merritt Project joins us today as we continue the conversation around Black Lives Matter. In 2018 Tyler released a video called "Before You Call The Cops." This video came about when he was walking across the street one day and realized that a white woman in her car was rolling up the windows and locking her doors because she saw him in the crosswalk. He shares with us every part of that memory from where he was going to what he was listening to on his headphones and it is eye opening. Two years since the birth of this video, it has become more viral and more relevant than ever. Join us for this conversation that will not only educate you but have you walk away with maybe some tears and a whole lotta love. "I did everything I could to make myself smaller..."
