Have a seat, let us drape you, and welcome to Black Body Health the Barbershop!
Kidding, this is another great podcast episode where fabulous host Natasha Phelps interviews two guests about Black health. More specifically, Black men’s health.
In this country, Black men have the lowest life expectancy compared to men and women of other racial and ethnic groups. Stigma, proper access to healthcare, and other socioeconomic details contribute to this disparity. So what are medical and public health professionals doing about this? They’re going to the barbershops.
Michael Scott, Senior Program Manager at The Center for Black Health & Equity, joins the conversation alongside Jon Brown, founder of BlackMensHealth.com.
These two met in a barbershop as well and implore the need for Black men’s health to be steered in a positive direction. They explain how leaving the barber’s chair will leave you with more than just a fresh fade.
This episode expounds on how Black barbershops are valuable pieces to Black culture, history, and occasionally hubs for public health messaging. Listen now – no clippers necessary!
