A Harlem work-readiness program that is molding at-risk youth into professional barbers is now celebrating its first anniversary. The Big Russ Barber Training Program has been training aspiring barbers for the past year and helping them get their licenses. Russell “Big Russ” Smith partnered with community advocate Jackie Rowe-Adams to make the program possible. Row-Adams, the founder of organizations known as Harlem Mothers and Fathers Stop Another Violent End, committed to saving lives after her sons were killed by gunmen.
