A Gastonia Police officer wants to have a conversation about mental health with fellow officers and community members Saturday. Sgt. Shaunte Southern will host his Sixth Barbershop Rap Session from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, at the Phillips Center in Gastonia. The rap sessions are designed to allow officers and the community to talk and educate each other in a relaxed setting, similar to a conversation in a barbershop. The session includes free candy, food, haircuts, hot dogs and a group conversation.
