"My friends say I am quiet, an indoor person and one who loves to smile.
"My sister sells beads and they are quite attractive. I thought about all the jewelry designs I could create with them. I watched my mother, who is also an artist, and began working with beads.
"I've come to believe that his craft is an inherent skill. No one taught me — it just comes naturally.
"Starting with my project hasn't been easy but I was happy I was able to set it up.

"My inspiration comes from my memory and mind. The blending of beads in designing is difficult for me and takes time.

"So far, my craft has created employment avenues for my community members because I train them."
