I had the pleasure of meeting Moziah about 2 years ago. Pretty dapper and smart young man. Fast forward 2 years later and this young man is working. He was recently featured in th NY Daily News and Oprah’ Magazine.Moziah Bridges launched his bow tie business, Mo’s Bows, when he was 9 years old.
After school, 11-year-old Moziah Bridges gets busy at his real job: making bow ties.
“He says it’s in his blood — he can’t help it,” Tramica Morris told the Daily News of her only son. “It’s amazing, the way he puts his clothes together. Even before he started wearing neck ties and bow ties, the hats and shoes he picked out as a young kid were very attention-worthy.”
“I would describe myself as a classy kid who likes to dress up nice,” Bridges told the Daily News. “I launched my business because I couldn’t find any other bow ties I liked. So my grandma showed me how to sew my own.”
Next up, Bridges wants to expand into menswear and shoes — he might even start making neck ties, since they’re part of his sixth-grade school uniform.
“She’s a hardworking mom, she knows what to do, when to tell me to start making bow ties or to stop,” he said, then quickly corrects himself.
“Not that she can tell me what to do. ‘Cause I’m the CEO.”
Go Moziah! And who said Memphis youth are not successful. GO Memphis!
