The Barber Shop Blog

This blog series is a collaboration featuring writers from the "Blog Barber Shop" alongside Shawn Rawls' blogs. Our diverse topics encompass the roles of black men as educators, the experiences of Black boys in education, battle skills and personal growth, black fatherhood, Hip hop's role in healing, the journey from rapper to elder, healthcare for black men living with HIV, black comics, the significance of black storytelling, and qualities to look for in a good partner. Shawn Rawls also chronicles his journey of growth and healing.
In today's world, being a black male can be isolating, especially with shrinking communities. Finding support can be challenging, and in my darkest moments, I turned to the internet. Not finding many blogs or articles addressing my needs, I initiated the Barber Shop Blog—a care package of valuable information I wished I had. It's an intimate discussion about the wins and losses on my growth journey.
This blog aims to be a beacon of support for young black men and boys, touching on a variety of subjects. Our goal is to cultivate and nurture an online community where individuals can find the encouragement and resources they need.
