About

Thank you for visiting R'adaive.

 

I am the great-great granddaughter of an original enrollee of the Choctaw nation. My beading journey has deepened my pride in and my connection to my heritage. I started this dream in 2022 but did not start putting my thoughts to action until 2023.

 

I chose the name R’adaive to honor the women I descend from. Roseanna. Ada. & Olive. 

 

 

To the ones who came before me, thank you for your protection, resilience, grace, and love. I know that I am the product of all of those things. As I embark on this journey, I will carry your spirit with me.

Ada (right)

Ada is remembered for her strength even in her senior years, you would rarely find her without an apron and a smile.

 

 

  

Olive 

 Lovingly nicknamed "Sweetie", Olive is remembered by her tiny frame and the way the sweaters she always wore would hang on her in a graceful way. While her stature was frail, her kindness and love were mighty.  

 

 

 

 

 

I am so thankful for your support. 

 

With all my love,

Brenna
