Many of you know that I recently launched a barbershop, R&R Head Labs, that hires formerly incarcerated barbers who are committed to making a better world for themselves and those around them. We hired James (pictured with our Operations Manager, Deb) one day after he earned his freedom. Although James gained extensive barbering experience while serving his sentence, he is not licensed.

The money raised will go help pay for James' barber school tuition, and any excess will go towards paying for future new hire tuition. We have many more barbers in the pipeline that have similar needs. There are countless barriers that people face upon release from prison that often lead to desperation and hopelessness. Your contribution, no matter how small, will help reduce one of these barriers and ensure James (and other barbers to follow) gets on his feet quickly.
