Confident Cuts with Kickback Toronto
We were stoked to collaborate with Kickback and Bryan Espiritu on a cape to support Confident Cuts in Toronto! Hand drawn by Toronto artist Bryan Espiritu. Kickback is a youth-led movement for change coming out of Toronto, Canada.
Founded by Jamal Burger, Kickback's vision is to create a space that allows youth to step into sports and art confidently. His love for sneakers became the medium to cultivate a youth-focused community where kids could aspire to reach their potential. Over 7000 sneakers have been distributed to youth globally, they have ran over 100 successful programs and over 30,000+ youth have been impacted to date.
One of Kickback's many amazing programs includes Confident Cuts.
Barbers and braiders across the city come together to provide services to underserved youth in the city. We were able to raise $2,781.00 for Confident Cuts and supplied capes to the Barbers who volunteered for the program in September 2023.
