"Barbershop Chat, Chew, and Play" Brings Haircuts and Connection to Rainier Beach
On April 4, dozens of families and community members gathered in the Rainier Beach Community Center gym for “Barbershop, Chat, & Chew," a free annual event where people receive haircuts, play chess, and take part in conversations geared toward supporting the community. Now in its 15th year, the event was started by the organization Fathers and Sons Together (F.A.S.T) to bring people together. In addition to free haircuts and lunch, people played chess with Detective Cookie’s Chess Club, met the Buffalo Soldiers and their horses outside on the plaza, and listened to a poetry reading by Reagan Jackson and songs by Tiffany Wilson.
Check out a photo essay from "Chat, Chew, and Play" in the South Seattle Emerald.
