African Swag

My beads tell a story, shedding light on mother Africa's Herstory. The African story told by African inventory. Without these beads I feel bare like a breeze leaves the dandelions. The African story told by African inventory. The colorful beads my ancestors wore... Glistening beads on silky chocolate skin. These beds we wear, speak numerous things. These beads tell a story of pride and self Glory!
