This week on 20 Minute Takes, Nikki Toyama-Szeto chats with actor, author, and activist Tyler Merritt. He's the author of I Take My Coffee Black: Reflections on Tupac, Musical Theater, Faith, and Being Black in America, and is the creator of the viral video "Before You Call the Cops." In this conversation, they talk about acting, his book, and his vocation of living a life shaped by proximity and storytelling.
