Navigating Story: A Black Man's Guide to Surviving in North Idaho. | Tyler Sea | TEDxCoeurdalene

Tyler Sea is a proud black man who created and hosts the Community Experiment Podcast -- he is also one of the few black men who call North Idaho their home. In an electrifying talk, he shares the lessons he learned from his upbringing in the diverse city of Louisville, Ky -- and how those lessons apply to his current community in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, one of America's fastest-growing “Whiteopias”. Tyler Sea is the man behind The Community Experiment, a podcast that encourages people to tell their individual stories. He believes everyone has a story to tell and he uses his podcast to provide a platform for everyday people in Coeur d'Alene and our surrounding area to share their experiences.

Tyler's story began in Louisville, Ky., Sea where he grew up. His wife is from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. After visiting Coeur d'Alene, Tyler and his wife decided to stay and have lived here for more than three years. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
