Barbershops and hair salons have always been cultural safe spaces where people from different generations can speak frankly about tough issues.

In our first episode, Ty visits Ice Kol Kuts on Commercial Drive—one of the few neighborhoods in Vancouver with a high concentration of black-owned businesses—and learns more about what it means to be underrepresented in an already marginalized community.Undercut episode 2: Racism in Richmond, BC
