Positively Africana's virtual classes with Aimee are not only high points in my week, they are the foundation of my fitness regimen. Her dancing and strength training classes are as fun as they are vigorous, and I always build up a good sweat with a smile on my face. Though we aren't in the same room, Aimee has such a strong rapport with her students the class has an intimate feel to it, and Aimee always checks in with each of us, who have in turn come to know each other. Since I live in a very small remote town I am so grateful these classes exist. The steps are easy to follow but the dancing is the real deal, and the music is fantastic.

Excellent business run by a passionate and devoted woman committed to community upliftment. In addition to her store, her in-person and online Zumba classes are fabulous!

I met this young lady last year and I am so impressed with what she's accomplished. Her storefront is absolutely beautiful and it represents a collection of beautifully and thoughtfully crafted items from the Congo... and beyond.

Take a stroll through her shop and you'll see everything from jewelry to home decor and everything in between. The colors and textures abound and are vibrant and full of life. It can easily become a happy place to just hang out and soak in the good vibes. 😎

Aimee has used her gifts to create something truly unique in the Pioneer Valley. Her store (on the second floor) literally rests below giant windows that allow the sun's warmth and brightness to bring out the best of what she has to offer. It is a welcome place for anyone to come and browse. My daughter and I have purchased many things from here and they are cherished.

If you're in the Northampton area, please visit Thorne's and check out Aimee's storefront. You'll be glad you did! ❤️

This shop is a gem! Aimee shares her culture and its crafts with authenticity and deep respect for her African roots. You can always find a little something (prices are reasonable, keeping artisans' hard work at the forefront) to bring home or to give a friend. The best part is that you can learn something about the artisans' background and culture while you shop.

Positively Africana is a rapidly growing local, Black woman-owned business. Its owner, Aimee, not only showcases and sells high-quality jewelry and clothing crafted by African artisans, but is also deeply community-oriented. She mentors Black entrepreneurs and consistently promotes other Black-owned and local businesses.

I have personally purchased unique jewelry pieces for both my partner and nephew from Aimee’s storefront in downtown Northampton. Aimee is truly a gem in our community. While her beautiful products are reason enough to support her business, her commitment to uplifting others makes an even stronger case.

I have been visiting Positively Africana since it first opened. Aimee is an amazing, positive business woman. I love what I find in her store. Everything is well made and beautiful. I love my handmade scarf and my friends love the gifts for Positively Africana. It feels good to know that the artisans are getting paid what they deserves for their art.

Aimee puts her heart and soul into her business. The detail and way she connects individually to her customers is why I continue to go back. From her athletic wear to dresses and jewelry there’s always something new to see and I typically do not leave the shop without getting something new. If you are in the area I would highly recommend stopping by and if you cannot make it in person please look at her store online. She ships nationwide and I love to see the support of a small business owner and advocate for BIPOC individuals regardless of gender. This is one of my favorite items I bought from h her shop in person.
