Who Am I?
My name is Maya, Owner of Books, Beads & Beyond, creator of Phat, Phine-N-Phit, and Author of Quenched Thirst, and Love Between Brothers. I am a lover of life, lover of self, and lover of people. I love to see people doing amazing in life. I love to see people that walk in the ambiance of love. I am a sunflower girl at heart. Sunflowers mirror the sun, they are unique, they provide energy, nourishment and vibrancy, and they symbolize unwavering faith and unconditional love. Many are called, but few are chosen. I have been chosen for the journey of service. I serve in the capacity of Beauty, Health & Wellness, uplifting, motivating, encouraging, and Serving. I provide handmade waistbeads, anklets, bracelets and necklaces for adornment, encouragement, motivation, weight loss and healing. I provide resources to my Gen X Mamas, Grandma’s, Aunties, Sistahs, Cuzzins, and Friends, helping them go from surviving, to thriving entrepreneurs by turning their passion into profit and living a life by design intentionally while earning passive income online. My desire is to help you be the best version of yourself which starts with healing from the inside out; mind, body, spirit, and soul. I AM Destined To Win (Dstnd2wn) and so are you…
Why Do I Make Waist beads?
I make waist beads as an encouragement to women. I believe every woman should embrace her beauty from the inside out and feel good about herself. I want every woman to be adorned, feel sexy, have confidence, be positive, love herself like nobody ever can, etc., the list goes on. I handcraft each strand with a purpose in mind, and my hope is that every woman that adorns herself with my beads can feel the positive energy that fills me when I make them, and that she is filled with self-love.
