ABOUT BEADLY SPEAKING JEWELRY

Dyon Davidson's transformative journey from Montego Bay, Jamaica, to Baltimore City has been defined by resilience and dedication. A seasoned educator with 21 years of experience, Dyon faced a pivotal moment in 2004 when her mother suffered a brain aneurysm. In response, she taught herself how to make jewelry, inadvertently creating a therapeutic outlet that not only aided her mother's recovery but also became a catalyst for positive change in her community.

Driven by a passion for empowering others, Dyon volunteered extensively, teaching skills like jewelry making, entrepreneurship, and leadership. In 2018, she secured funding from The Baltimore Children and Youth Fund, leading to the launch of Beadly Speaking Kidz—a virtual jewelry-making program for children during the Pandemic. Recognized as a 2022 Baltimore's Promise, 2022 BCYF Grassroots Fund, Creative Baltimore Fund, BGE Small Business, and BCIITY grant recipient, Dyon now uses her expertise to educate others on the grant writing process. Named Resilience for her ability to overcome personal challenges, Dyon's mission is to bring healing through jewelry making, a practice she used to cope with a dual diagnosis of Lupus and Sjogrens in 2014. Her workshops emphasize inclusivity and support, aiming to unlock the full potential of participants, providing them with artistic, social, and entrepreneurial skills for lifelong success. Dyon Davidson remains a beacon of positive change, turning adversity into purposeful work and embodying the healing she seeks to share with others.
