Matt Brown Recap: She is Not Your Rehab

She is Not Your Rehab with Matt Brown

I had the absolute honour of sitting down with my friend Matt
Brown to talk about his life, the lessons he has learnt and his
life’s mission. 

Matt Brown, is a New Zealand born Samoan and an author,
communicator, an internationally acclaimed barber and hair
artist; known for giving great cuts and inspiring great
men.

He is a survivor of family violence and childhood sexual abuse
and shares his story with the men who frequent his busy
Christchurch barbershop, My Fathers Barbers, as a way to foster
vulnerability, healing, and connection. 

Since 2018, Matt and his wife Sarah, have partnered with the
Ministry of Social Development as ambassadors for their ‘It’s not
OK Campaign’. Together they co-founded She Is Not Your Rehab and
launched the concept in Matt’s 2019 TEDx talk. He says the
movement is an invitation for men to acknowledge their own
childhood trauma and to take responsibility for their healing so
that they can transform their pain instead of transmitting it on
those around them.
