From Beyoncé to Baby Harrison – Shawn & Tyler’s Story of Adoption
August 28, 2025

In this episode, Shawn and Tyler (@shawnandtylerb) kick things off with stories from their trip to see Beyoncé live in Houston. I jump in with my own memories of meeting Beyoncé a few times at church—alongside Kelly Rowland—back in the day.
We explore how their different upbringings shaped them: Shawn grew up without a dad in his life, while Tyler was close to his. Their YouTube channel, once a window into their everyday lives, skyrocketed when they shared the arrival of Harrison—their newborn son through adoption.
We dive into their experiences of growing up without seeing families like theirs reflected in the world, and how that fuels their mission to create a community that represents them—for themselves, and for their son.
