Upper Cutz Barbershop & Salon hosts a collection of intimate conversations. This monthly discussion is designed to be a safe place for people to discuss their personal thoughts and struggles surrounding mental health.

After hearing so many different stories and perspectives in the barbershop and salon, most of them involved mental health topics she came up with the idea for Cutz & Conversation.
