Hello there! My name is Zaida, but you may call me Beanz, or Beanie. I am a full time student in high school, who found a hobby in beading, and wanted to share my pieces with amazing people!
I am located in peaceful North Dakota!
My nickname and shop is named Beanz because my Grandma gave me the name. Funny enough, it was when I used to have an empty Powerade bottle with dried beans in it as a baby, and ever since then, I have been Beanz (I added the 'Z' for the cool effect).
90% of my beads are from my Grandma since she had quite the bead collection. I am beyond blessed to receive her beads and make something out of it, which is a large reason why I wanted my shop to be named Beanz. I owe a lot to her.
I also wanted to start this business to help my family with funds, since life can be a bit exhausting, and kids are expensive lol. Any profit will help towards my future college living and for my family.
I am a Native business owner (Hidatsa and Arikara), a Latina business owner (Mexican), and an African American business owner. I am proudly a mixed business owner.
As a student-owned business, it can be difficult to push out orders. Any and every piece of help I can get is greatly appreciated!
Of course, not mandatory. Much love to everyone supporting small businesses <3
