In this Resource #2 episode of Keeping It Honest and Real on COVID-19, the American Public Health Association YouTube channel has a unique web series from a Black perspective called, Barbershop Medicine.
These online webisodes are lead by two dynamic Black doctors, Dr. Italo Brown, who is an emergency physician and chief impact officer of TRAP medicine, and Dr. Cedric Jamie Rutland, who is a pulmonary and critical care physician. He is also a spokesperson for the American Lung Association.

Both doctors sit down with a group of Black men with diverse backgrounds and ages to have a candid conversation in an outdoor, barbershop-setting about the COVID-19 vaccines. The doctors identify the vaccine hesitancy roots during the candid conversation with complete compassion and understanding, following up in the conversation with important or misinformation regarding the COVID-19 vaccines.
