EP 10 | YOUR BARBER IS NOW YOUR THERAPIST WITH LORENZO LEWIS AND KEVIN HINES by HINESIGHTS PodcastThis episodes’ guest is a dear friend and mental health advocate, Lorenzo Lewis. He built The Confess Project to train barbers in mental health to become advocates for people in their community. His purpose is to give back; as he reflects on his own story, people with resources can do much more towards better mental health. Lorenzo shares how his depression led to behavioral issues when he heard about his father’s passing. He also contributes to how getting help got him into a better place. In a 45-minute haircut, The Confess Project wants their clients to leave the seat better than they came in. Join The Confess Project and see how they are helping the black communities around the nation.
