Turn It Up Thursdays

I love couples that incorporate fun in the planning of their wedding. Sometimes we get so caught up in making our wedding so perfect that when the day finally arrives couples are too exhausted to enjoy the day. This couple makes me smile when I look through their pics, their wedding looks so inviting, picture perfect...straight out of a magazine. The theme was honeybees! (PS I love the Hunter Douglas boots....lol)

Christians, Connections and Cocktails

This official Kick Off for Events by MOJA is around the corner…We decided to put a spin on the LAUNCH PARTY OF EVENTS by MOJA LLC! On September 11, 2010 (yes we are reclaiming that date) Events by MOJA will be putting on a party for Unmarried Christians called:

Christians, Connections & Cocktails

As an unmarried Christian woman myself, I’ve heard many concerns about the lack of opportunities for relationships and marriage. So we at Events by MOJA, as an advocate for marriage & weddings, (hehe) decided to put together this event!

I am so on fire for this launch because it’s going to be a great party…who doesn’t love a good party? As an event planner, I’m always planning for the client, running things by them, making sure they are pleased...but this time we get to do things our way, inviting people to a party where we can entertain and take care of our guests....show them what we are working with!!

I’ve received hundreds of responses which is great....of course there are some who are a little apprehensive…that’s ok…too…the idea of meeting new people can be a bit scary…BUT if you do want to meet someone or be found by someone it probably WON'T happen while you’re sitting at home waiting.

Let me share one of my Life Mottos:

"To achieve something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never
done"

Say it to yourself...it makes sense...Agreed?! So don’t sit on the sidelines and wait for the pictures...register, come in, mix, mingle & connect!!

A bit redundant but Yes, There you have it folks…the things I Hate are the very Same things I LOOOVE!!!!! well, I don’t hate it but the heart palpitations I can do without…all the while maintaining a cool calm demeanor...however when all is said and done…when the Curtain closes, everyone had a good time and your client gives you a shout out...it is definitely worth it!!
The JCHRIST FASHION Show was a Success!! The Energy was LIVE, the Food was great, and My Favorite part was the décor and setup!! You can’t see the extent of the show and our work in these pics but TRUST me…The Events By MOJA Team received a Standing Ovation!! Wooohooo!!!

Rip the Runway!!

Hi all!! Events by MOJA is in the midst of planning our first Fashion Show Event for a clothing line called J. Christ. The designer is a friend of mine and the concept is for the stylish Christian who wants to wear the name of Jesus Christ. The show is on Sunday August 15th at 6pm @ 434 Dewitt Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. The clothing line is great and the show is jam packed with Christian artists!

We sat down with D. Charles to ask him a few questions...listen in:

D.Charles,

What was your inspiration behind the JCHRIST clothing line?
J. Christ was inspired by one of my shopping adventures. I was looking for a nice stylish shirt and every shirt that caught my eye as fashionable and buyable seem to have a skull hidden within the designs. I refuse to wear a symbol of death on my body but realized that meant I couldn't purchase a lot of the nice clothes that were in the stores. I thought to myself that it would be cool to have style and positive powerful symbols and imagery. One year later, my dream was realized with the most powerful symbol imaginable. His name.

Who wears JCHRIST?
J. Christ is worn by everyone! There are probably just as much non-christians wearing it as christians. This is telling of the fact that there is a desire for an image of hope. People of all walks of life and backgrounds seem to agree that Jesus embodies hope. His name carries a heroic quality just like Che Guevarra's face, or Barack Obama symbol or MLK's silhouette. My students love it, atheists respect it, muslims applaud it and positive people wear it.

Where do you see JCHRIST in the future?
I see J. Christ as an international phenomenon. I am collecting pictures for what I call the "J. Christ Nation". I want to capture images of people separated by distance but united under one name.

What is to be expected at the JCHRIST Fashion Launch on August 15th?
Well, I can't give too many details BUT.... It's going to be LIVE!!! You can expect diversity, laughter, music and surprises. You gotta come to find out!!!

How do you like working with Events by MOJA LLC?
Events by MOJA is seriously a God-send. I will not do another major program without at LEAST a consultation from MOJA. The entire Events by MOJA Team works tirelessly to make my vision come to life. Its happening right before my eyes and I could not do it without them.
