Black men

The 'Trim the Risk' book tour is bringing life-saving health education directly to Black men in barbershops across 17 states. The initiative uses barbershops, trusted community gathering places, to share health information and encourage preventive care. The tour has been featured by local news outlets, drawing attention to its effort to reach men who may not otherwise access medical guidance.
