Real Meaning Behind Waist Beads | Localish

Aicha co-owns Top Diversified Fashions with her husband Bass Lo in the Downtown Inglewood Fashion District. Top Diversified Fashions has been bringing African culture to Inglewood on Market Street for nearly nine years now. 'Our shop, we do African clothes, men and women and children, and we make them,' Bass said. 'We design them and make them here.'

They're also used to express a woman's sensuality.
