By SARAH KATHRYN WATKINS [email protected]

handler Young graduated from Neshoba Central C in 2019 and grew up in the Good Hope community with a younger brother. His parents are Cindy and Chad Young and after graduat- ing from high school, Young was unsure of what he wanted to do. He and his grandfather, Bennie Lee Adkins, sat down and had a conversation about his future and Young decided that he wanted to join his grandfather’s barbershop. Young, attended Kosciusko Barber College and in nine months got his license. “I love doing hair and couldn’t see myself doing any- thing else,” he said. Young works alongside his grandfather, Bennie Lee Adkins, and mother at Adkins Barber & Style Shop. Young has been a barber for over a year now. He eventually went on to get his own home in the Dixon community, where he attends church at Pine Grove Church of God. Young has a passion for playing the piano and organ. At his church, he plays the organ and does special song pieces. He started playing these instruments by ear. He took a couple of lessons but eventual- ly became so good that his piano teacher mentioned he played better than she did. When Young is not working at the barbershop, he works on the family farm where he tends to cows. He is passionate about working, taking care of the farm, and gathering with fami- ly. Since moving out on his own, Young and his family get together to eat dinner every week. Young grew up helping his granny Kathy Moore in the kitchen. Moore taught him how to bake and cook every- thing from scratch. Young started cooking with his granny when he was around 4- years old. His dad also has a signifi- cant impact on his cooking, and they both enjoy grilling. Young likes to get in the kitchen and practice making new recipes. He never, however goes by recipes. Instead, he likes to throw something together and see how it turns out. One of his favorite things to do is baking. Young enjoys cooking vari- ous Southern food types, including chicken and Chandler Young, right, with client Tommy Williams dumplings, cornbread, corn, and butter beans. “I can cook a Southern meal like there is no tomor- 1 tsp vanilla Salt and pepper iron skiller for about 30 min- gone.
