Barbers
Black barbershops have historically played an important role beyond just grooming. They serve as community hubs where people gather to exchange ideas, share stories, and find a sense of belonging.
Black barbershops are not just businesses but integral parts of Black communities, serving as centers of culture, conversation, and connection.
