These two animated PSAs “Barbershop” and “The Rules” speak to common experiences amongst Black children that create physical and psychological harm. More pointedly, these narratives uphold rape culture, inherently endangering Black children.
“The Rules” speaks truth about how young Black girls are often hypersexualized and harassed into silence, and how our communities must stand up to protect and uplift them.
“The Barbershop” holds space for young Black men, breaking the silence around sexual violence and showing how healing begins with conversation, care, and protection.
