Life is a everlasting thing.

I am not just flesh, I am not just human,

I am a spiritual being, a womb, a soul,

a heart, a princess, a empress, a queen,

a goddess. I feel this deep in my

soul and even the joy-ful things in life even the laughing fall out silly moments are so deep and profound

for I. You see it is because this is life and life is

such beauty. You can feel it the en-

ergy through every vain, you can feel the separation of the life

force within you apart from your physical.

sigh....

Every single person has God inside them. Actually, every single person IS God, but I’m not going to go there right now lol. That means all the Divine Specialness in the world is inside every one of us And it shines out just like some kind of prism. That’s the joy of it, That it manifests just a little bit differently in every one of us. So if you know like I know, You’ll never not appreciate the Divine Shine from the next person. May not exactly be your cup of tea, But it’s Divine all the same.

I am a multifaceted maven with jew-elry artisan/designer on the mar-quee. I am self taught and have at-tended a few professional work-shops along the way.

I love working with metals, especial-ly healing copper, as well as

recycled materials; which I use whenever possible since I am a loy-al supporter of Mother nature and do whatever I can to help save the planet.

I also participate in bead bonding with Mushana Beads.

Prior to becoming a jewelry artisan/designer I worked professionally as a microbiologist at the Faculty of Medicine in my homeland of Mozambique.

Dabanga through Dabanga Jewelry supports many fundraising efforts, especially those linked to Autism and female empowerment.

My work is an eclectic fusion of world cultures that goes back in time to connect the past to the pre-sent, transforming metal, pearls, turquoise, coral and recycled mate-rial into jewelry designs so raw and real you can feel their earthy vibra-tions.

The metals are patinated to give an ancient look, the color and pattern variations are characteristics of this process, the complimentary embel-lishments are especially chosen to complete this look.

I design for those of you that like unique & colorful jewelry pieces and have your own distinctive style… are you one of those peo-ple? If so you’ve come to the right place and I’m happy to make the connection.

I came to the truth and realization long ago that one can on-ly move forward by embracing their his-tory. One of the ways I accomplish this is through my design work.

It all began in my late teens while on a path of self discov-ery and my African roots. I was instantly intrigued by the vi-brant colours and thought-provoking aesthetics African prints and textiles provided and began to incorporate them in my personal fash-ion. In 2005 I learned how to crochet a hat and a talent was dis-covered! Self-taught and driven the cloth-ing line grew: Dress-es, skirts, tops, jew-elry and more! Noth-ing is beyond reach when a woman is fueled by creative desire. Fusing my love of fashion, culture, Af-rican textiles and a passion for crochet-ing - InI Vibez was born! These garments which are crafted by hand celebrate Ones body and spirit. Born of beauty, passion and a strength to take on the future.

I am feeling excited, joy-

full, expectant and

GRATEFUL!!

GRATEFUL to God for

another year of life,

love, health and

strength.

GRATEFUL for a fami-

ly who taught me that

whatever joys or storms

life brings that I am to

get up, stand up for

what I believe in and do

what I have been called

to do regardless of my

circumstance.

GRATEFUL that I

know that none of us

can afford to be one is-

sue people. If you want

equality and justice for

yourself and the people

you love then you

MUST actively seek

and support this for

others whether you like

them or not because it

is right and it is just to

do so.

Grateful that every one

of us has been given

great gifts that we can

use if we set our hearts,

spirits and minds to it.

Grateful for each one of

you for walking and/or

dancing this journey

with me.

We often get caught up in why certain things don’t go according to plan forgetting it’s all in Jah hands.

We are reminded by events in our lives that will reveal itself if one is paying close atten-tion.

I enter this new day full joy and give thanks for lessons learned from yesterday. Not emo-tional about the things that comes to an end rather rejoice for it prepares me for a new be-ginning.

I give thanks for the brief interactions with

individuals who’s job was to show InI some-thing new or deliver a message. For the small bumps over the head that reminds us every-thing we want is really not what we need.

I’m grateful for crossing paths with a soul that left a positive impact in so many ways but was almost blinded by grey clouds of mis-under and overstanding.

Tab A Tap~ It´s taken from the jamaican/patois saying "tap-a-tap" or "top of the tops" as one would say in "proper" english! I just ex-changed the "tap" for a "tab" taken from the first three letters of my first name Tab...

Tabatap designs are influ-enced by Rastafarian cul-ture & principles, along with African-Caribbean, es-pecially Jamaican style. Mu-sic with a touch of street has lead to the evolving of a fresh new vibe & style. The-se outfits are sure to be an eye catcher at any occasion and will make the wearer look and feel good. Words such as, royal, cute, revolu-tionary and attractive are but few that capture the vibration of Tabatap de-signs. Modest but playfully sexy can also be brought into the descriptive word selection for this line of clothing. The aim is to rep-resent African culture trough unique clothing.

These designs are a mixture of different colours, prints and styles. You will find hand printed shirts, dress-es, militant camouflage gear as well as custom made single pieces. The de-signer loves to work with African wax prints, differ-ent cottons and stretch ma-terials.

Tabatap also features de-signs with a silk screen print of Empress Menen, as it is important for the de-signer herself as a Rasta woman, to pay tribute to Queen Omega the wife of H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selas-sie I.

Jahfya, a self taught designer,

mother of one daughter, originally from the island Trinidad & Tobago,

has been designing and sewing for over 20 years. From a tender age

she made stylish clothes for her

dolls, her mom would sew all her clothing.

By age 15, Jahfya decided her mom’s sewing was not stylish

enough for her anymore, so she started designing and sewing her

own clothes. Her designs were al-

ways unique and she stood out wherever she went, so she was con-

stantly approached by others, and questioned about her outfits.

As her passion grew, she asked her parents to send her to the USA to

study Fashion Designing when she finished high school, they agreed.

After graduating high school, Jah-fya enrolled in a designing school in

Florida, however when the time

came to pay the fees, her parents decided they could not afford it.

Saddened by this, Jahfya decided to herself that no matter what, one

day she would fulfill her dreams .

She worked with different design-ers in her country and held different

positions as pattern maker, seam-stress, supervisor etc. teaching her-

self as she went along. Eventually

she built her own small private cli-entele .

There were times clients would or-

der certain designs and Jahfya had no clue how to go about designing

them, but she never turned clients

away, she would take apart cloth-ing, studied how they were cut and

put together, then she would create patterns from that. Her clientele

grew fast so she finally quit her job

and opened her own company

Jahfya became known for her great unique designs, perfect fit and

prompt delivery to clients. Eventu-ally she migrated to the USA, where

she continues to make a name for

herself.

Jahfya designs all types of clothing, for all sizes and shapes, but she fo-

cuses more on the cultural aspect of

designing, since she sees a great need for that. Jahfyawelcomes all,

and look forward to dressing you in her unique designs. Happy Shop-

ping.

Part of what attracts me to certain garment styles is how well they work with or high-light the female form. As a designer/maker of clothing primarily for women, my eye is drawn to the typical ele-ments of this art: color, tex-ture, drape, composition, etc. But it is also constantly tak-ing note of body forms and how fabrics and clothing shapes can work with or highlight those forms--no matter the size.

It has officially been about 7 years since I began to seri-ously see myself as a cloth-ing designer, although my interest in design goes back much farther. Designing and making garments speaks to the part of me that--ironically--likes to uncover things. I enjoy learning how things are put together and function and putting things together and making them function. It is likely that I could have enjoyed a career in house construction for this reason. However, I also have an affinity for art and style in dress, and working as one who designs and constructs clothing allows me to satisfy my curiosities in each of the-se areas.

While designing and making clothes is thoroughly enjoya-ble to me, doing so is not the complete source of my fulfill-ment.

I am always working at cre-ating avenues through which I can use my skills and knowledge to assist in em-powering others.

The idea behind MyCoCreations

is to give you the ability to create the products you want without

all the unnecessary chemicals and unhealthy ingredients. At

MyCoCreations you select the

product you want to create, you select the ingredients you want

your product to contain and I create it. You have the ability to

select the oils, flavors, scents and more. Create your own per-

sonal and unique blends. Choose

from many products like edibles, natural makeup, natural body

products, cleaning products and accessories. Every creation is

made with 100% natural and

organic ingredients. Our prod-ucts are never tested on animals

and made with love.

MyCoCreations blossomed out of the need to protect my family.

Once I began my journey of dis-covering the truth, I started in-

specting the ingredient labels on the food I purchased. This led me

to another truth. Our skin is

alive, it breathes and absorbs what you put on it. What you put

on your skin is just as important as what you put in your body. I

immediately began researching

everything I could not pronounce or was not aware of.

There is a misconception that is

associated with eating or using

organic products, it is too expen-sive. What I have found is that

you will pay more for quality products but if you take matters

into your own hands you can still have your cake and eat it too. I

soon came to realize, what better

way to know what ingredients are used in products my family

consumes than to make them myself?

Whoever says that being con-scious about the ingredients that

are used, where the ingredients comes from or how the product

is processed and/or handled, is

too much to worry about and re-sults in food that does not taste

good couldn't have tried my or-ganic dehydrated snacks or ve-

gan candy!

And now I offer them to you.

I like to describe my work as my ever evolving voice in color. A voice in color that resonate various emotion-ally charged mo-tifs of love, fami-ly, universal hu-man rights and politics. If you look closely at my art, you will see that a lot of my work is but an expression of my journey to retrace my cul-tural and ethnic roots that span several conti-nents. In light of my multi-ethnic heritage I refuse to be bound by one particular form of expres-sion or tech-nique. Instead, my artwork is a free flowing stream of con-sciousness often tide to indige-nous themes in collage bound by whimsical colors in dots, abstract patterns and characters that span the human diaspora.

The name of the shop is Sadie's Memories which is a single woman operation de-livering one of a kind, quality handmade jewelry and accesso-ries.

Since the birth of my little one, I decided to market all the crea-tions I've made for her over this past year. The culmination of these works are known as Sadie's Ba-bies.

Sadie's Babies initial-ly began with cloth diapers and has now expanded into offer-ing clothing, diaper bags, hair bows and our brand new toy line, N'Diji Dolls.

The company is named after my late grandmother, affec-tionately called "Mama Sadie" She raised me knowing I could achieve abso-lutely anything I de-sired and I now look forward to instilling that same mindset among my child(ren).

This shop and all its work are dedicated to Mama Sadie.
