Beady Babies with CC (Christian Noelle Charles)

A workshop to teach you how to make a necklace with a little friend! A craft that makes you feel secure and protected. Christian Noelle Charles used to make these as an assistant at the Pan African Village during her times working at the New York State Fair in her hometown. It was an opportunity to understand how gathering and community is so important to her and making something this small can have such an impact. She is so honored to share this practice and create Beadie Babies with the Exhale community.
