“Our young black babies are putting their freedom and lives on the line to try to change s**t,” he continued. “And if you are a black business that is destroyed and you are not insured, I’m starting a fund with 25k of my own money to help rebuild. And I’m asking my friends in fashion to donate as well,” he said.

While Roach hasn’t yet posted details on where others can donate, he quickly received support from other stylists, designers and celebrities.
