Meet Niza

My Name is Niza and I was born & raised in Lusaka, Zambia. I moved to the USA when I was 13. I’m 37 with a 7yr old with a Masters Social Work from Case Western Reserve. I started making beads as a hobby I enjoyed with my clients and for my selfcare. I enjoyed it so much that I started making waistbeads and anklets to gift my friends. It was a few months later that a friend encouraged me to start an IG & make it into a business. Fast forward to a year later and now 4yrs creating waistbeads & anklets I’ve enjoyed doing pop ups, having had 2 shops, and meeting so many amazing people world wide. What sets me apart is honestly my Energy & invitating personality. I’m very much an extrovert & great with people. As a business owner, customers are attracted to great energy and my personality draws people to me. I want my clients to know that any woman can rock their waist beads unapologetically no matter your race, age, weight size.
