It is usually very difficult for parents of young boys to get dressed up for anything. Yet, for 11 year old Moziah Bridges, it was a passion. Collecting bow ties soon became his favorite hobby, but unfortunately he became disenchanted with the selection in most stores. After all, he was just 11 years old and it does make sense that his taste would be different than the people whom the ties where marketed towards. So then, his retired seamstress grandmother and him started to make their own unique bow ties. Now, just a few years later, Moziah is now CEO of his family run business “Mo’s Bows”.
In the beginning, Moziah and his grandmother just posted some bow ties on their web-sight. Soon, the bow ties started to attract a lot of attention! During the last three years, Moziah has made appearances on the Steve Harvey show, the Today Show, Oprah magazine, Good Morning America, and, shark tank. Just when it seemed like he couldn’t top his accomplishments, in 2015 Moziah served as a fashion correspondent for the NBA draft and was also invited to the inaugural white house demo day, where he was able to personally meet President Barack Obama and gift him with the special “Obama blue” mo’s bow.
It definitely seems like Moziah has had quite an adventure in such little time. His story is a reminder that you would be surprised when you combine creativity, perseverance, and family love.
