Tyler Merritt - The Actor, Writer, Musician, Activist, Content Creator This Is What We Do

Today, Toks has an extra long chat with her newest chosen family member, Tyler Merritt, and he surprises her with a reversal of roles. Tyler is an actor, lead singer of a band, author of the critically acclaimed “I Take My Coffee Black” and most likely to be everyone’s number one pick for a dinner guest. They talk about auditions, black hair, bananas, "Big Shot" and being awkward in front of Nia Long.
