I didn’t plan this episode.There’s no rider. No car. No background noise, except some soothing guitar.
Just me, sitting in my apartment near Sloan’s Lake, trying to make sense of the last few years.
Driving Lyft was never the plan. It was survival. What I didn’t expect was that it would become an education — not the kind you get from books or debates, but the kind you get from listening to people who are rarely listened to.
One of them was Derek. This is his story.
