YoMama Beads
by Lynn Scheerhorn
Many of my customers ask me where the name YoMama Beads came from. It all began when I found out I was pregnant with my first son. A friend started calling me "YoMama", and after that it just stuck.
My love of beads began when another friend took me to my first bead store, and soon after that I was hooked! I started making jewelry to raise funds for various non-profit groups, including funding my own mission trips to Haiti. I have fallen in love with Haiti and the Haitian people. Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, with an annual average income of only $400.
I travel to Haiti twice a year on mission trips, and have worked at an orphanage, and have done a few medical missions as well. It is the other passion in my life. It amazes me that jewelry making has allowed me to do so much!
On a recent trip to Haiti I taught jewelry making to the women there, and helped to start a jewelry making co-op for them. It's going well, and I will return to do more with them soon.
