There is something sacred about the chair. In this conversation, Jess from She Fades shares the heart behind the collaboration with Hope Is My Homeboy and why barbershops have become powerful spaces of connection, trust, and community.

There are places in our communities doing quiet, powerful wellbeing work, and the barbershop is one of them. Hope Is My Homeboy x She Fades honours the chair, the kōrero, and the care that shows up in everyday moments. Not loud, not performative. Just real. Because hope does not always shout. Sometimes it sits in the chair and listens.
