    In October, Brothers of the Desert and Let’s Kick ASS Palm Springs (LKAPS) will launch a monthly discussion group called Barbershop:

    A Black Men’s Space for Honest Talk About Sexual Wellness.

    Building upon the tradition of barbershops in Black communities, the discussion group is designed to encourage open and honest conversation. The meetings will be inclusive, welcoming the full spectrum of Black men each month: gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, and straight allies. The sexual wellness topics will be equally diverse, ranging from dating and intimacy to aging with HIV.

    The first discussion group will take place from 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m. Oct. 10 at Mizell Center, 480 S. Sunrise Way, Palm Springs. Subsequent meetings will occur at the same time and location on Nov. 14 and December 12 and will be facilitated by Stuart Huggins and Will Dean.
