“The studio is gonna be what it is, but I’ll tell you what I’m most excited about next, is pulling this next phase off,” said Tyler, who becomes the first black American man to own a studio outright.

“Building a compound for trafficked women, girls, homeless women, LGBTQ youth who are put out and displaced and having a compound that is a beautiful place where they’re trained in the business and they become self-sufficient.

“They live in nice apartments. There’s daycare. There’s all of these wonderful things that allows them to reenter society, and then pay it forward again. So that’s what I hope to do soon.”
