Is an African tradition where girls wear beads around their waists and the beads change throughout their lives as they encounter a new rites of passage. Traditionally little girls where a strand of one color at puberty then they receive another one that isn't to be seen and worn under clothes until marriage or for their mate. I only know of one person who has a site about them. Sewra at http://waistbeads.com/ But the are easy to make find beads you love and string them the size of your waist to be snug or a little loose all personal preference.
I have a girls rite to do July 30 and it's focus will be on wastbeads I make them myself still having trouble with the clasp, anyway. Do you or would you share with me your insight on the transition from girlhood to wombonhood, connection to mother Africa, womb care and the effects of music sexual on our youth plus a book recommend for 10 -13 yr old girls.
