“They say the Barbershop is the cornerstone of the black community, But I believe it's the family unit, so it starts at home. It's a father's job, to sow everything he knows into his son, before he sets him free into the world. How to be a man, how to treat Lady, reason for staying away from drugs and how to deal with Law Enforcement. These are just a few things a young man should know about and how to handle himself when he faces any of these situations. It can be a matter of life and death, for a young black man, and that is why I will never stop giving my all to my son.” -Joel Lucien
