I Am Not My Hair(cut) (ft. Wyatt Cenac & Antonio Johnson) FANTI
-
- Society & Culture
We’re talking about one of the most important institutions in every community: The barbershop. Wyatt Cenac joins the show this week as guest host (or Tre'vell replacement?!), and brainstorms lots of new slogans for FANTI merch. Cenac also tells us about going to the cheapest barber shop in the greater Dallas area as a kid with his penny-pinching stepdad.
Plus, they’ll get into why Black folk come to barbershops for the haircuts, but stay for the prostate exam. In addition, artist & author Antonio Johnson tells us about traveling the country visiting barbershops for his You Next project.
Off topic: Hey listener, do you happen to know the person in charge of hiring at the black-owned grooming product company Bevel? We may know someone, a “name”, if you will, looking for a side hustle as a spokesperson. We can’t say who that person is, but have them email the pod.
