• The Barbershop Forum is a new collaboration between Modern Dads, Haji Shearer (Director of the Fatherhood Initiative, Children's Trust Fund of MA), Dr. Charles Anderson (Chair of Pediatrics at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Boston), and Club 379 (see next bullet)

• Club 379 is "the very first membership-based grooming service for males in the country." In short, this place is extraordinary on many levels...go to the website to check it out.

• The Barbershop Forum is a new, grass roots venture that we (haji, Dr. A, Omar/Shea/379Club, and me) dreamed up over the last few months. Our vision - which is very much a work-in-progress - is to provide a forum for dads/dad-figures to meet, talk, watch, listen, learn, create and ultimately BE the best dads, men, mentors we can possibly be...STAY TUNED!
