Moziah ‘Mo’ Bridges
Ever since he was 4 years old and dressing himself, he insisted on wearing a suit and tie whenever he could, even to the grocery store or while riding his bike. Moziah “Mo” Bridges, now 12, has transformed his passion for fashion into Mo’s Bows. “I love dressing up,” says Mo, who found early inspiration from his father and grandfather who typically wear three-piece suits for no particular reason. “I look and feel so much better in nice clothes. It makes me feel like an important person.” His business is currently worth $150,000, as reported by Inc.’s website.

Using aloe vera and goat’s milk for his products, Donovan is the creative mind behind every aspect of his personalized soap goods from the molds to the fragrance and the color.

Wow.
This is off the wall straight up phenomenal, inspiring and encouraging! Out of the mouth and through the hands of babes. It is amazing what we can achieve when we do not allow fear, BUT allow God. Awesome work both the children and those who believed in them and assisted them thru. There should be a #BlackKidsRock
