Subsequently after Shakeya survived COVID-19 it was life altering for her. Three months after recovering and 5 hours of deep prayer she was guided to start her waist bead business. Everything she knew about herself shifted. She decided to get through her shadow work, many tears and release everything into God's hands.

The business and jewelry aligned with her souls mission: helping women embrace themselves as they are .
