Ida B. Wells

Ida B. Wells Waist Beads – Matte Brick Red 
​Fearless truth, crimson justice. Inspired by the legendary investigative journalist, educator, and early leader in the Civil Rights Movement, Ida B. Wells. Known for her "Red Record" and her unshakeable bravery in the face of absolute danger, Ida proved that the pen—and a woman’s courage—is a weapon against injustice. This solid red strand captures the heat of her convictions and the unyielding strength of a woman who refused to be silenced.
​This strand features a powerful, monochromatic palette of solid opaque red beads. In the language of color, red represents the Root Chakra—the center of survival, physical vitality, and ancestral grounding. This specific deep, fiery crimson reflects the urgency of Ida’s work and the "holy fire" required to lead a movement. It is a symbol of absolute bravery and the unwavering commitment to protecting your people.
​Why You’ll Love Them:
