18-year-old barber Joshua Rodriguez decided that he wanted to make a difference in his community. He said in and Instagram post that it only recently occurred to him that his skills as a barber were an excellent way to do just that.

"This June makes 2 years that I've been cutting hair..."
"In all this time it wasn't until this past Sunday that marked the first time that it occurred to me that I have an ability to help others in a way that I know best."

Joshua, along with his friend Bruno Diaz (@yungdrippaa on Instagram), went out and bought $200 worth of food and other necessities. Then they went to the Overtown neighborhood in Miami to see what they could do to help people out.


They fed those who were hungry, while Joshua provided haircuts to those who wanted them.

The two are students at The Mater Academy Charter High School in Miami, and Joshua said he has been cutting hair for around two years.

Rodriguez had an important message for everyone in his Instagram post:

"My intention with this post isn't to boast to you all of what I did or look for applause... I simply want to tell everyone seeing this that there will always be another person in the world in need of the blessing only YOU can provide."
" We need to step up and be the change we want to see."

Twitter users were vocal in their support for Joshua and Bruno's efforts.




Some wanted to support Joshua in a more concrete way:

This message of gratitude from a haircut recipient perfectly sums up the effects of the pair's efforts.


For anyone who wants to help Joshua and Bruno with their mission, the pair have started a non-profit called Blessed2BlessOthers.

There is currently also a GoFundMe (started by Diaz) campaign to raise funds to provide for Miami's less fortunate residents.

Sorbo gripes about Vikings cheerleaders

American actor and sudden cheerleading morality police Kevin Sorbo appeared to spontaneously combust online when the Minnesota Vikings announced the addition of two male cheerleaders to their 2025 squad.

Born in Mound, Minnesota, Sorbo has long cultivated his brand of brawny, bicep-flexing alpha male heroics—playing Hercules in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Captain Dylan Hunt in Andromeda, and starring in the 2008 parody Meet the Spartans, where he famously shared an on-screen kiss with Sean Maguire’s King Leonidas.
