JUST TYRUS: A MEMIOR by Tyrus Is Engaging but Not Political

I was first introduced to Tyrus on Red Ey and now watch him on Gutfeld!, one of the 2 shows I try to watch every weekday, not for the politics, for the humor of the situation the county is in.

Tyrus shows intelligence and common sense in his analysis of what is happening. His book is like that. He gives his background, while respecting the privacy of people in his life, which is hard. He experienced some racism but does not make that the focus of his story. Rather than making his memoir a pity-party, he tells how his adversity made him better, made him want to achieve more. This was an engrossing read, I couldn’t put it down. The good, bad, sad and ugly – be doesn’t sugar coat his actions, doesn’t make excuses, be owns his actions. He gives respect and credit where due which is refreshing. If anything, his story made me like and respect him even more.

A great read and worth the time and price.

“Social media makes it hard today for many people on the planet. It can cause pressure, anxiety, and trauma, especially when people come after you for whatever reason. Keyboard warriors hide behind anonymous names and do nothing but sit and troll all day. It can be frustrating, but you can’t let that wear you down. Never give in to a bully. Empower yourself. Believe in yourself. Be accountable. Life is too short to worry about with the other person is doing. Own your shit. Use your voice. And be kind to others. That’s all I got. And I really do sincerely thank you for reading my words.”

Recommend?

I absolutely recommend this book even if you have never heard of Tyrus before or if you think it will be a book filled with politics. It is NOT political.
