Such an amazing day! 🤍
My heart is so full! ❤️
On August 30, 2026, we held Get Faded Barbershop’s 4th Annual Back-to-School Free Haircut and School Supply Event, and what an absolutely amazing day it was!
I am deeply honored and grateful to Robert Rivera, candidate for State Representative in Hillsborough District 40, who presented me with an Expression of Appreciation for Community Service. I would also like to sincerely thank Mayor Jay Ruais and Ward 10 Alderman Bill Barry for presenting official City of Manchester recognitions honoring me and Get Faded Barbershop for our dedication and service to the community.
These recognitions mean more to me than I could ever fully express. However, although my name appears on the awards, they truly belong to all of us. This event has never been the work of just one person. It has grown throughout the years because of an incredible team of people and businesses who continue to show up, give back, and believe in our community.
A very special thank you to Westside Barbershop Andy Jones, Luis Ruiz and Village Play Cafe for standing beside us year after year. You are always in this with us, and your continued love and support mean more than I can say.
A huge thank-you to all the wonderful businesses and community partners who joined us and helped make this year’s event possible:

Thank you to my incredible barbers Brianna Lawrence Breezy, Carlos Enc Nob, Malachi Little, for donating your time, talent, and energy. Thank you to all our volunteers John, Laura Cozzone, and Leah Sylvain, and Leon Bratzel who helped make the day so much fun for the children and families.
An especially heartfelt thank-you to my children, Shaunasti Robinson, Ayrabella, and Isabella, who attend and help me every year. Having you beside me while we serve our community means everything to me. I love you more than words can say.
To everyone who donated supplies, contributed their time, offered a service, shared our event, or supported us in any way: THANK YOU! Even if I did not mention you by name, please know that your contribution was seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.
Four years of free haircuts, school supplies, smiles, teamwork, and community love! I am beyond proud of what we have built together, and I cannot wait to see how much more we can accomplish.
These awards and recognitions belong to our entire team and community. Together, we are helping Manchester’s children begin the school year feeling confident, prepared, supported, and cared for. That is what this has always been about. ❤️💈🎒✂️
With all my love and gratitude,
