Talking about mental health often isn’t prioritized in the Black community. The Confess Project is one organization working to help Black men and boys open up — not in a clinic, but at the barbershop.
in Johnson City, Tennessee, Charles says barbers bring a sense of comfort to their clients.
Over the years, Charles has become attuned to reading his clients' body language and facial expressions. His clients have opened up about their kids, divorce and daily struggles of life. When his clients come to him from traumatic backgrounds, Charles says he helps them by just giving them space to have conversations.
In the barbershop, conversations about the past few years spring up all the time. Charles says he has to be ready to give an honest opinion and soothe tensions when topics like the COVID-19 pandemic, George Floyd’s death or systemic racism come up.
