Lately I have been reading a lot of thought provoking books about religion/The Most High, race and America. I love to breeze through Kimani Romance/BET books for a quick read. But I absolutely will read Anything in regards to natural or holistic medicine, child rearing, pregnancy. Have been reading a lot of unassisted childbirths lately and to say the least they are beyond interesting and empowering. Also interested in Raw Vegan lifestyle.About Me
Hi all since I have been a member I have become more inspired and feel the love harmony peace a creativeness from this site. I have just transitioned from a pesco vegetarian and currently vegetarian/vegan most days however I am continuously in transition to the next level. I am interested in anything creative, nurturing, natural/organic/holistic from food, customs, herbs, etc. I am a Doula in training with aspirations of Midwifery (just trying to figure out the best path which is hard with all of the rules and regulations which vary from state to state) can a sister get a break and be educated without the certification. (Got that Education vs. Certification, Niggas From God Part I) Finally took my creative juices to the next level at alkenion.etsy.com New products arriving daily...My Sisters

Waistbeads
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.
Peace and Love
