Tyler Merritt - The Actor, Writer, Musician, Activist, Content Creator

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.
