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 www.ted.com/tedx

He also profitted of child abuse by working at Innercept. Stop promoting abuse!

[@cxkelley]

The irony is: THIS single direct experience does not speak for all instances. The same way that telling “boogie man/fear mongering stories doesn’t account for all instances. There are positive and negative misconceptions.

[@TASconfidential]

Thanks for the gaslighting.

Lmao Yadda Yadda

10 out of 10 Man awesome talk

[@peterstyffe396]

Great message. Especially as our nation is in the midst of incredible term oil and division. It comes down to me loving those around me regardless of their looks, beliefs or politics. Love is the answer. And the best example and source of that love is most beautifully displayed on the Cross. Live and love like Jesus.

Yo Northern Idaho is the middle of nothing inside the middle of nothing. If you can survive in northern Idaho you could survive on the moon.

[@justaneditygangstar]

What are you even on about North Idaho isn’t that bad when it comes to racism 😂

[@willowwitkowski5479]

@@justaneditygangstar yes it is, it’s literally a safe haven for conservatives

[@jerrymartinez2457]

@@justaneditygangstar “isn’t that bad” which is still bad

[@mc.9839]

If you think that then you've never been anywhere.

[@mc.9839]

@@willowwitkowski5479 True, it's conservative and white. So what? Why can Liberals allowed to huge cities and colleges but conservatives aren't allowed to congregate? Is it because of all the crime that happens in those conservative towns? Nope, that can't be it. So, do you think that's a problem??

Is his wife white? Is his wife beautiful? You do know it's the year 2023 right? Lol

[@homosassa2tellico388]

A small house in north Idaho is very expensive while a small house in Atlanta is very cheap hmm I wonder why

[@georgemonkey3060]

Tell us why...

[@staycompassionate3811]

Why?

[@jujubeans7444]

Supply and demand. Don’t twist the truth.

[@troubleinbound]

Californians are fleeing that burning hellscape they call a state (like rats) and are infesting other states like the cancer cells they are. This drives up housing costs due to scarcity. Supply, demand, the fundamentals of Capitalism. Idaho could be cheap if they got smart and made it as hostile as humanly possible for Californians.

[@rexx9496]

@@troubleinbound most the Californians leaving are conservatives. There are more Republicans in California than in all the upper mountain states combined. They are simply outnumbered by Democrats. Luckily for them they made a small fortune in home appreciation and can pay cash pretty much anywhere they want. Sucks for natives of small states like Idaho, but hey, that's called capitalism.

[@Banjoandguns]

Stay out of Idaho CA

[@usser1138]

If you don’t like us living here you can always move somewhere else.
