[...] Goddess Zuri is a brand I’ve been loving since way back when, and just in time for the holidays, they’ve got some inspiring tees with pro-natural hair messages on sale. I love the I’m a Natural long sleeved tee. $30, and super cool. (But unfortunately, not in plus sizes. Yet.) And while you’re browsing, don’t forget Goddess Zuri’s earrings. I’d rock those Zari hoops in gold, silver, and bronze! Too fly! [...]

Very pretty photo of you with your new cut. Because the hoops of these earrings are such a pretty brown and they are made from Indian glass the word that comes to mind for me is “dunia” which means earth. I think to be natural is to interact with the earth, to become closer to the earth and nature is very important in Indian cultures so they should be called “Dunia Hoops”.

you look fabolous bella.especialy the earings.
those hoops makes me think of a unified world which can be achieved through our prayers.makane in my language means (prayer). the mixed black and white spots symbolises all human races living and accepting each other.thus by wearing those hoops it is a sign of praying(makane) for a future where human race will live as one.the hoops should be called makane.

Adeola: nigerian for crown of honor

Bahati: swahili for Luck and good fortune

Ayira: Luo meaning the chosen one, which you would be if you wear those!

Hi Afrobella. I love the blog and I must say that I covet your hair.
I have two ideas for the hoops.

Adimu Hoops: Adimu means unique in Swahili. That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw these lovely hoops.

Mfumo Hoops. Mfumo means texture in Swahili. I think that the contrast between the texture of the wood and the smooth batik is absolutely beautiful.

How about “MoonSwing”? They remind me of a (full) moon; and with a little imagination, I can see someone reclining on the lower left arc, head slightly included to look down and with arm hanging down to touch (whomever).

Like everyone who has commented before me, I love your hair and your blog! I think the hoops should be named “Kali Hoops.” “Kali” is one of the most well known and worshipped Hindu godesses. Given that Indian glass is one of the materials used to make the earrings, the name “Kali Hoops,” might be a nice nod to that region of the world. Also, not only is “Kali” the goddess of time and transformation (which is nice for us growing and evolving bellas), but “Kali” is derived from the Hindu word meaning “black.”
