What do you think about waist beads?

Like what to your mind when you ‘hear waist beads’

I used to be among the people that will shout ‘God forbid, I can’t wear waist beads, it’s only **** girls that wear them’.

But everything changed.

As a pre teen, my mom used to make neck beads for women, her brand was on a different level and it was very affordable.

My mom became popular in the barracks, getting customers from the ‘officers wives’ and it was a very big thing back then.

My mom taught me how to make beads with different designs and ornaments, she taught me color combinations and patterns.

I was only allowed to wear neck beads and hand beads, ‘waist beads are not good’ that’s what I always hear.

But everything changed.

One day I told my mom ‘I prefer making waist beads for sell, and she agreed.

That was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself.

I started cheaply, I learnt how to deal with customers, I understood market dynamics.

I was a ‘vendor’ and a proud one.

I made money from the business.

It helped me in school, I was known as ‘mercy beads’.

There’s just something about waist beads.

Whenever I take them off, I feel incomplete.

I’ve been wearing them for years now and it feels like a part of me. 

It helps me watch my weight and it has been really helpful for that purpose, recently they’re no longer tight, which means I’ve lost a little weight. 

Do you love waist beads?

Will you let your woman wear them?
