Brother to Brother

My Project

The essence of connectedness is essential to the layers of brotherhood. One crucial layer of brotherhood is personal care, grooming and appearance, which in reality can connect to the well-being and mental health of men, but more specifically young men. Working with boys of color has helped me understand the importance of brother to brother activities, which can foster a world of mentorship like no other.

Creating a space of mentorship through cutting hair, can be beneficial to the wellbeing of the students I serve.

It not only helps build confidence and hygiene, but it allows for a vulnerability and boldness that many of my boys dare to face in the real world but need to. The chair is just the first step to an openness that helps them vent/release, build social skills, communication skills and relationship building they can take beyond their high school career.

Thank you in advance for the donations that you contribute and thank you for helping me make a difference in my students lives.

With Gratitude,

Mr. B.
