first sunday brunch
Before stories were written down, they were carried.
In songs.
In recipes.
In fabric.
And in beads.
Across Africa, beadwork has long been more than adornment. Beads have been used to express identity, beauty, belonging, celebration—and to tell stories about who we are and where we come from.
This Heritage Month, join us at genkati House for an intimate afternoon of beading, storytelling, wine, and conversation. We’ll explore the history and meaning of African beadwork, then create a piece of our own—something inspired by your imagination, your style, and maybe even a little bit of your story.
No experience necessary. Just come ready to create, connect, sip a little wine, and Bead Like a Girl.
