Derrick Banks is the owner and operator of Freshly Faded Barber + Shop in North Park, San Diego. Coming up, he was mentored by local barbers such as those at Gentry’s, part of the San Diego scene for over sixty years. In this conversation we start by discussing his upbringing and the standards his parents set for him. Black history and culture were always important. Banks studied with the Earth Center, an organization focused on reconnecting people with their ancient African traditions. Dedicated to creating something more than a mere barbershop, he hosts after-hours poetry readings and discussions as well as monthly men’s meetings. Our conversation wraps with a discussion of his role as artist and how he reflects that in his attire.
