“As a clinical psychologist, I am incredibly passionate about Project HairCare because I’ve learned from our barbers and stylists that they provide a sacred space where their clients feel understood, heard, and cared for on a regular basis. They are offering the same care and compassion that I strive to give to my clients as a clinical psychologist. I am honored to be a part of this project to help develop tools and resources for barbers and stylists serving the Black Community.”
