An initiative that started a few months ago, creating a safe space for teens to talk and express themselves in an effort to curb violence in Indianapolis, is still going strong.
For the month of July, the"Barbershop Talk" series focused on"Emotional Abandonment and Anger".
In a discussion Tuesday evening at The Master's Touch on East 38th Street, teens opened up in a way community activist and organizer Antonio Patton said he's never seen before. Teens started out having easier discussions about how they deal with their emotions in school, alone, or around family and friends. But then the conversation took a turn getting deeper, allowing them to open up and be vulnerable and address difficult issues.
"As boys, you are not really taught to open up and to cry," Crawford said."So, when you get in that environment where you can do that, all of that stuff you're holding in comes out, and you just feel so good after it."
