Episode Description from the Publisher

🔥 Wake & Bake Show came with real talk, real scars, and real solutions on today’s episode. Q. Lewis and Monk Money were joined by Detroit community leader Jay Fades — the visionary barber and entrepreneur behind Jay’s Fades Hair & Nail Salon on Livernois, and co-director of the Better Detroit Youth Movement, a nonprofit focused on uplifting Detroit youth through mentorship, advocacy, scholarships, and community empowerment This wasn’t just barbershop talk… this was survival talk. The fellas dug deep into violence in our neighborhoods, growing up in Detroit, the trauma too many young people carry, and how mentorship can become the bridge between pain and purpose. Jay Fades shared how he turned the barber chair into a place of healing, guidance, and opportunity—proving a haircut can be more than style… it can be therapy, leadership, and hope. From teen advocacy to street wisdom, from scars of the city to stories of resilience, this episode speaks to anybody who knows what it means to come from pressure and still push forward. Detroit grit. Detroit growth. Detroit truth.💨 Tap in with another powerful edition of The Wake & Bake Show LIVE FROM THE 48205.#WakeAndBakeShow #QLewis #MonkMoney #JayFades #DetroitPodcast #DetroitBarber #YouthMentoring #DetroitYouth #ViolencePrevention #CommunityHealing #EBlockRadio #LiveFromThe48205 #DetroitCulture #RealTalk #UrbanPodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
