CHAMPION STYLEZ- Poughkeepsie High School 2021- '22 Boys Championship Basketball team

I started this project at the end of last season with teams and players who held it down and followed through on their support of me and what I was doing. I wanted to take a more cultural approach to covering the game of basketball so I decided to make a barbershop poster of championship teams(to start). There are different reasons why I wanted to create this:

• Players of black and brown complexions have a wide variety of hairstyle options- I wanted to highlight that.

• Hairstyles are a form of individuality.

• Many hair trends come from athletes. 

• Boys/men have a story to tell about their hair, too(even if the story isn’t super involving). It’s not as common to see or hear much about how boys/men take care of their hair compared to women. I wanted to create an opportunity for some boys to share some of "the real" about their hair... Although I am a woman, I understand and recognize that there is a process that many boys/men have to go through to upkeep their hair. I have a twin brother and an older brother, so I'm no stranger to witnessing that experience growing up.

• Share information of barbers, barbershops, hair stylists, salons, and products that the players use. The information could help someone else who has the same hair type or lives in the same area.

A HUGE thank you to Coach jvwel22 , Coach cody_brooklyn , and the rest of the poughkeepsiebasketball team who gave me my first "yes" and showed up for me last minute to get me started. I appreciated everyone's time and participation! #845 💪🏽
