On a cold night in fall 2017, I hailed a Lyft ride to a friend's house. As the white Prius pulled away with me inside, the driver caught my eye in his rearview mirror and smiled. "It's your lucky day today, pal," he said. "You in the car with the Lyft Rapper."
After I published an essay in early 2017 about losing my mom in a violent accident, West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon texted me to say a similar thing happened to him. This radio piece is about the ensuing connection.
