Darrell Williams is an excellent barber and lends a nonjudgmental ear to his clients, I know because I'm one of them. Darrell's mixture of serene wisdom and humor come through in our conversation reflecting on his life. He's been through a lot but has made it through without bitterness.

"Their responsibility is to show me support, not to support me . . . There's a difference."

"If you put in effort you're going to get something out of it."
