For many years, black men have known the barbershop to be a safe space. Through a conversation filled with empowerment, uplifting stories, and shared dreams and passions, in this episode, DeAndre Brown is joined by barber and shop owner Dondre Shivers for a vulnerable conversation around being gay at the barbershop, holding space for gay male clientele, the fears, and microaggressions some face and a look behind the barber cape to find that despite who’s in the chair, there’s always a heart there. Join us in episode 2 for a much-needed discussion.
Host and Executive Producer- DeAndre Brown | @Imdrebrown
Guest - Dondre Shivers | @Drekocutz

so happy he talked ab this topic bc so many gay men feel uncomfortable in they own skin in their barbershop. they have to code switch and change their whole personality bc they don’t want to feel judged or uncomfortable. love this very powerful

This is so rare and beautiful! I love this and I FEEL THIS on a whole different level. I resonate with all the emotions and anxiety you talked about. Because my biggest fear isn’t going into work every day with white corporate America. It’s walking into a barbershop preparing myself to be judged, embarrassed and attacked by my own people. And it’s only got worse as I’ve gotten older. I literally have to talk myself out of panic attacks until I leave the chair. Hopefully I find my sanctuary barber in the future lol.

I really like this conversation. I'm part of the community as well and I live in Atlanta. While a friend of my mom's occasionally cut my hair on and off thru the years and i felt comfortable with him, any other barbershop i went to, i felt a huge anxiety that i had to keep to myself. I'm not the most feminine nor masculine queer man so i never really experienced outward homophobia but i knew the vibes were strange whenever i step into their establishment. I stopped going to barbershops and started going to places in midtown Atlanta, more inclusive and open minded and i can be myself

The barbershop is a safe space for black men of like mindedness who are linked together by more than race, gender and sexuality. If you’re not feeling safe or respected in a traditional barbershop perhaps it’s time you find a barbershop that caters to your sexuality.
