Comedian/TV Host (and Oakwood alum) Jonathan Slocumb Partners with Chicago Skin Care Company Solo Noir to Empower Young Black Men

Actor/comedian/TV host Jonathan Slocumb is putting his name and resources to change the mindset of young Black men and boys around the country. The Los Angeles resident recently inked an endorsement deal to become the first national spokesman for Chicago-based company Solo Noir, which makes a complete line of grooming products for men of color featuring 100% organic 2-in-1 grooming products.

Slocumb is a firm believer that if you change the way a man dresses and thinks you will eventually change how he acts.

"My goal is to empower these young men to take pride in how they dress and to embrace taking care of their skin as a normal part of their daily grooming habits just like brushing their teeth. The first thing potential employers or women see when you meet them is your skin, teeth, hands and not just the clothes you wear" says Slocumb who attended a Historically Black College - Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama.

Slocumb is hosting a benefit gala for [the] UNCF North Alabama Chapter on Thursday, March 28th in Hunstville, Alabama, for Oakwood University which features a performance by Chicago native and lovely songstress Lalah Hathaway. Tickets are available at 1-256-726-7586.
