Colon Cancer Barbershop Salon Talks
Each neighborhood, culture, family, or community have different ways of sharing information. One thing we found while in South Carolina was quite unique. News and even advice is spread through barbershops and salons. With many people spending hours in a salon a week, it all seems so natural. We heard of an initiative by a gentleman named Gerald Footman to spread the word about colon canccancer and raise awareness of this deadly disease through those avenues.
