Deborah James

My name is James Deborah, and I am a computer science graduate. Staying at home for a period drove me to set up a business. Aside from bead making, I also cook for special events such as birthday parties, weddings, and naming ceremonies. I've been in the bead making business for almost 8 years. The road has not been simple, but the business has provided me with several opportunities.
I make beads for traditional weddings, as well as bracelets, earrings, and necklaces for various occasions and cultural reasons, such as chieftaincy titles, cultural exhibits, and so on.
