Lorenzo Lewis

Lorenzo Lewis is a social entrepreneur and mental health advocate who founded The Confess Project, a groundbreaking non-profit organization dedicated to expanding mental health support in underserved communities. Recognizing that barbers and beauticians are often trusted figures in their communities who hear personal stories and struggles from their clients, Lewis developed a training program to equip these professionals with mental health awareness and advocacy skills. His work addresses critical gaps in mental health access by creating a bridge between vulnerable populations and mental health resources, transforming everyday service providers into compassionate mental health advocates.

Through The Confess Project, Lewis has developed curricula and training programs that have impacted thousands of barbers and beauticians across multiple states. His innovative model has gained recognition for its effectiveness in reaching communities where traditional mental health services are often inaccessible or underutilized.
