'even the newest stars are honored'
M17- Moje Williams
REAL NAME: Mojiba Adonika Williams
BIRTH PLACE: Rockfort, Jamaica
Moje Williams goes by many names: M17, Royal Mojiba, and Amowode; just to name a few, each depicting yet another side of this loving, diverse being of light.
Mother, writer, actress, model, motivational speaker, make-up artist, artiste, she feeds only on positivity and radiates light wherever she goes. She is the daughter of the Legendary Count Ossie, founder of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari: who brought dub music to the world. The smooth calming voice of Amowode is reminiscent of the mastery of Count on the Drums. Her majesty writes, 'Spirit of Innocence, His blessedness remains in my eyes’, from the poem 'Count Ossie'.
In November 2007, Moje published and released Amowode her first book of poetry, photographs and inspirational quotes. Amowode was created by Moje and it means divine light, truth and beauty. A journey through this book is a journey of inspiration, truth and healing.
'Truth is the gate opener for the heart.' Spirit Perfume quotes from Amowode. 'War makes the headline news, As if it's poetry...'. Excerpt from ‘Blood’, From Amowode 'Trust angels to rise with you, trust the word trust, it was created for you.' Excerpt from ‘Trust’, from Amowode. Amowode is to your soul what the sun is to the earth, mystifying the reader, Amowode is what you want to be.
Few have experienced Moje in performance, but the few who have are blown away, nurtured and exposed with recordings produced by Rainbow Castle Production : 'Love' and 'A New Day(A New Age)' feat. Heather Cummings and Destinee (Moje's Daughter), a self - directed video for 'A New Day (a new age)'. Moje's light is shining on the mass.
Featured in the International Christian Family magazine 'Testimony' Mojiba's cover story first appealed in the third edition, continued in the fourth, fifth and sixth edition. Many have been enlightened by her vicissitudes and the essence she gracefully radiates..
BLOOD by Moje Williams aka M17
Drops of black and white bleed
Poverty living scars speed
Enmity veins scream
Reality bleak
Society asks Calamity: "Where is morality?"
War makes the headlines news as if it's poetry
Consciousness gets the stop sign as if it's scrutiny.
White blood cells;red blood cells starves for purity.
Life persistently provides;while humans consistently divides man ordain the deeds when he plants the seeds;
I say M17 says: "Puss in humanness is the essence of man's madness". Bleeding drops of black and white purple tears shed,cameras, flash! flash! Ignorance, splash! splash!
Wisdom! will always be...Conquerors, escape out of the shallow graves..
Drops of black and white bleed....

RWW FASHION FEATURE - 'BRIDGET SANDALS'
Novia McDonald-Whyte - Contributing editor Jamaica Observer
Sunday, December 07, 2003
Sandals designer Bridget say "Bridget sandals" in Jamaica and fashion watchers, as well as lovers of sexy leather straps, will smile the smug smile of those in the know. It has been, for Bridget Brown, (known by thousands as Bridget), a journey of twenty-odd years. The fact is, the leather soles of her sandals almost left her barefooted on several occasions. "It took me three years," Bridget tells SunDay to get my feet off the ground. I paid the price for not going to school. I had to endure artisans not cutting the leather properly, bad work attitude, sabotage, you name it, I went through it."
A baptism of fire, some might be tempted to add for the former Playboy Bunny. "I was a bunny between 1972 and 1977 at the Playboy Boscobel Beach," says Bridget, flashing her signature toothy smile, and still conscious of that bunny poise.
"Playboy was forced to close (no tourists were coming to Jamaica). I was forced to come back to Kingston. I had to find some means of survival. My first stop was G's One of a Kind -- an upscale boutique that sold one-of-a kind Italian shoes and clothing. I left that in May 1981, after Bob Marley's death. I sold pound-cloth for Carmen Brown of Karmen's Corner. "There I was with my scale underneath my arm, and my cushions at my side. I really never wanted to make sandals. I also made skull caps and crochet bags."
Start she did and never looked back. Bridget even found the time and finances to attend school in Milan. "I went to school out of curiosity. I wondered if I was doing something wrong. Little did I know that I was in fact doing something right. My customers are happy, the sandals are fitting right, and I, too, am satisfied. I admire what I am doing."
No idle boast. Bridget Sandals were on the runway at New York Fashionweek, and Caribbean Fashionweek. Bridget Sandals are in Barbados, St Kitts, Antigua, Lincoln Avenue, South Beach (Miami), in the Village (New York) and at Controversy -- Battersea London.
Come next season, there's the possibility of a shipment to Japan, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, and Dallas.
"You have to be skilfull to survive. It has been a 20-year fight for survival. It's a struggle to maintain quality, confidence, style, craftsmanship. Finally, you have to have integrity in business."
As the chat comes to an end and Bridget does that Bridget walk towards her taxi, and there's a feeling that the very best is still to come from this beautiful sister.
