In this powerful memoir, the creator of the viral videos "Before You Call the Cops" and "Walking While Black", Tyler Merritt, shares his experiences as a Black man in America with truth, humour, and poignancy.Tyler Merritt's video "Before You Call the Cops" has been viewed millions of times. He's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel and Sports Illustrated and has been profiled in the New York Times. The viral video's main point-the more you know someone, the more empathy, understanding, and compassion you have for that person-is the springboard for this book. By sharing his highs and exposing his lows, Tyler welcomes us into his world in order to help bridge the divides that seem to grow wider every day.In I Take My Coffee Black, Tyler tells hilarious stories from his own life as a black man in America. He talks about growing up in a multi-cultural community and realizing that he wasn't always welcome, how he quit sports for musical theater (that's where the girls were) to how Jesus barged in uninvited and changed his life forever (it all started with a Triple F.A.T. Goose jacket) to how he ended up at a small Bible college in Santa Cruz because he thought they had a great theater program (they didn't). Throughout his stories, he also seamlessly weaves in lessons about privilege, the legacy of lynching and sharecropping and why you don't cross black mamas. He teaches readers about the history of encoded racism that still undergirds our society today.By turns witty, insightful, touching, and laugh-out-loud funny, I Take My Coffee Black paints a portrait of black manhood in America and enlightens, illuminates, and entertains-ultimately building the kind of empathy that might just be the antidote against the racial injustice in our society.

A cancer diagnosis caused Tyler Merritt-beloved author of I Take My Coffee Black-to realize that there was no time for anger, unforgiveness, foolishness, or lost friendships. None of us have any time to waste.When Tyler Merritt was diagnosed with cancer, everything he thought he knew about what mattered in life changed. Though he made it through a highly invasive surgery and thought he was in the clear, Tyler soon realized that the cancer had other plans. It wasn't a question of if the tumor would come back for an encore, his doctors told him. It was a question of when. The clock was ticking.This Changes Everything is a humorous and optimistic love letter to this beautiful life. As Tyler counts down the days until his next scan, he begins to understand that none of us have time for anger, for being unforgiving, for foolishness, for letting relationships drift, or for letting friendships to be lost. It's a clear-eyed reckoning with the reality that our time on this earth is limited and a hopeful vision of how each of us can make the most of the time we have left.Laced with Tyler's trademark humor, love of pop culture, and arguably too many musical theater references, This Changes Everything is a story about how wrestling with the idea of death can birth a whole new outlook on life, how we live it, and the urgency that comes when you grasp that time is a precious commodity.

In this story based on the author's childhood, a young Black boy confronts his first experience of overt racism. In recounting the events to his grandfather, the young narrator asks: "How can she hate me when she doesn't know me?" Grandpa offers wisdom and encouragement to the child, reminding him that another person's hate does not change the fact that he is loved and that he matters. While offering an unflinching look at the emotional impact of the encounter, Tyler Merritt presents a message of love and acceptance that will resonate with young readers and offer a starting point for conversations about racial equality between parent or caregiver and child.

Some people do an Ironman to find themselves. Tyler Merritt did it for a tattoo. Not metaphorically. The M-Dot — the iconic red logo of the Ironman Corporation — comes with an unwritten community rule: you don't put it on your body until you've crossed a finish line. Tyler wanted the tattoo. Everything else was just the price of admission. Becoming Iron Tyler is the story of how a forty-two-year-old tech executive, husband, and father from suburban North Texas decided that the best use of his limited spare hours was training for a 140.6-mile race — swimming two and a half miles in open water, riding 112 miles on a bike, and then running a full marathon — all in a single day. It is about the obsession that swallows endurance athletes whole, the cycling community in North Dallas that shaped his training, a supported rally through the mountains of Colombia, the night before a race when Ambien meets adrenaline and loses, and the long, dark miles up a hill in Tulsa when the body is mostly mush but the legs keep going anyway. It is also, honestly, about the specific insanity of the people who choose this sport for fun. The ones who are up before 4:30 AM on a Tuesday for no competitive reason anyone can explain. The ones who track a rival's Strava at 6 AM and do the sleep math. The ones who sign a pact not to buy a single piece of M-Dot gear until they've earned it — and who carry a bag of it still wrapped in plastic back to the hotel the night before the race, just waiting. Tyler crossed the finish line in the dark. The announcer called his name. He is, in fact, an Ironman. This is how it happened.
