EMBRACING TRADITION BY EMPOWERING AFRICAN WOMEN AND ENRICHING COMMUNITIES

Changing lives one bead at a time! I am proudly African and passionate about beadwork. My objective is to empower rural South African women to harness their potential and create a positive change in their communities. Beadwork is mostly practiced by Zulu and Ndebele women of South Africa and is passed down through generations by the older women in the family.

South African beadwork is not only beautiful, but is also rich in tradition and cultural meaning. What makes this craft and art unique is the use of geometrical designs and colours to convey a message. The craft forms a language devoted entirely to the expression of ideas.
