Out of all the WaistBeads shops I’ve visited here in and around Oakland, this is the best! I would give her 10 stars if I could. Besides being the most friendly woman on the planet, her work , her craftsmanship is beyond measure! Immaculate , God bless this woman ??

I’ve bought waist beads several times and each time they broke. The beads are poorly put together and they are a bit expensive for such a cheap quality. When tying the beads on the lady does not make sure the string is complete covered by the beads and that will cause them to break easily, so if you do decide to get waist beads be sure to put them on yourself.2/10 I would not recommend; I am very dissatisfied with my purchases.

My love for this family is beyond this world ?. I was welcomed with open arms. The most High sent me to this store. I was down and out and I came out feeling like my mind and heart was restored. I am now part of this family. One village, United as one is a powerful thing. I have learned so much from Mama Ama. I love you Momma. Blessings to you. ?????✊???

I am so happy I found this shop besides them having a wide selection of beautiful things the owner I'm assuming was super friendly when I arrived. I'll definitely be going back.

Came in for waist beads, they have a lot of varieties of colors. Ellen is super nice and she helped me put them on. They also have clothing, face masks, purses, etc. Really beautiful place and smells so good.

BAGS N JEWELRY: anytime I can I want to support locally owned businesses especially during this pandemic! Sankofa has all the African inspired accessories you need bags and earrings that will make your outfit pop! I was born and raised in Southern Africa and I marvel at the variety from other African countries so coming here takes me back to my African roots but also enriches me as I discover more African cultures and more of their beautiful art! Highly recommend Sankofa for some fun accessories and bags! You will love them!!!

The store os full of beautiful African jewelry and art pieces, but it's a bit pricey. The first time I went I bought a pair of pressed paper earrings and the owner only charged $5.00. When I went back, her daughter tried to charge me $18.00 per pair. I had three pair. My total came up to $56.00 and some change. So I asked to speak with mom and we agreed upon $8.00 per. I got one pair. But if you've got it like that... Don't hesitate to go see what you might like!!!
