I thoroughly enjoyed getting my fingers dirty while simultaneously creating something stylish

tourists and locals alike

Beaded Crown - digital product black hair my ray of sunshineAnother Black woman, another crown. Black people have traditionally been story tellers using everything they had to communicate those stories. Their hair and its accessories were no different. The adornment of beads on their heads served as indicators of royalty, power and status. What would our hair look like today if we allowed it to carry the same weight our ancestors did?
