An old friend is at a startup now which produces logoed items for companies (such as to give away to employees to promote the company, that sort of thing) and also will soon be selling handmade items from Africa. Both types of clothing are produced by mothers in need of jobs, in order to better employ populations of women who might desperately need jobs but have trouble finding them.
I didn't design this site, but I did all the dev work as well as consulting on other aspects of the business. I don't really need too much feedback on it, but I promised I'd promote the link a bit to at least give the robots something to crawl.

I just found out that one of the products that MoJo creates is going to be in the gift bags at the Grammys this weekend. Now that is some serious promotion!

And now, the company was just interviewed on the CBS Evening News - sure, that's the smallest audience of all the major American networks, but I'm really proud to be involved:

I've noticed that they've expanded their product line a bit; that fleece looks really tempting. Come fall I may have to grab one.

The first time you suggested we 'like' the site on Facebook and tell our friends (a long time ago! lol), I didn't really know what to put, haha. But this time, I'm going to repost it with a little more information!
It's pretty cool that you're working for a business that's also focused on something other than money, and, as the interviewer says, focused on attacking a social issue, so that's why I'm reposting it -------------------- You're telling me that there's no hope. I'm telling you you're wrong. |

The site has now changed yet again - I just completed redevelopment on Wednesday of their new brand, which emphasizes more the American nature of the company. Check it out - http://www.getamericanmojo.com/
Edit And last I checked, they had the Infinity Scarf marked down 50%, and those things are pretty neat, if you ask me. I ordered two for my wife.
