The Three Main Parts of Our Business
Positively Africana exists operationally as our retail shop, our fitness program, and corporate wellness project.
1. The Shop - Chronicling Africa’s Cultural Identity
At the core of Positively Africana lies the 'Shop,' our curated retail space offering a vibrant assortment of African-inspired products crafted by dexterous artisans spread across the continent.
Each item— from meticulously handcrafted jewelry and bespoke accessories to artisanal textiles and thoughtfully designed home décor— narrates a unique story, portraying centuries-old traditions subtly interwoven with unparalleled craftsmanship.

3. Corporate Wellness - A Transformative Power
We strive to extend our wellness philosophy beyond individual pursuits by incorporating it into the workplace through our 'Corporate Wellness' initiative.
Recognizing the transformative power of physical and mental health, we offer corporate wellness programs that emphasize the importance of all-round wellness.
Aimee is available to speak to your team, lead a wellness session, or provide advice and guidance on how to incorporate wellness into your organizational culture.
In today’s high-speed business environment, corporate wellness isn’t just a perk—it’s a strategic imperative. A holistic approach to employee health and well-being doesn’t merely reduce absenteeism, but it also drives engagement, fosters creativity, and bolsters teamwork. By investing in the physical, emotional, and mental wellness of staff, businesses are not only nurturing their most valuable assets but are also ensuring a resilient and dynamic workforce ready to conquer challenges.

With our ever-expanding repertoire, we remain committed to cultivating new experiences inspired by the African continent’s plethora of traditions, culinary arts, textiles, wellness philosophies, and more.
Our expansion revolves around adapting traditional values to contemporary contexts, striking an appealing balance that transcends time and geographical barriers.
Our Unwavering Commitment
To sum up, Positively Africana’s mission is to challenge cultural stereotypes, foster a deep appreciation for the vast scope of African traditions, and contribute to the economic growth and self-sufficiency of communities throughout the continent.
By integrating the various dimensions of Africa’s rich legacy— from the craftsmanship of its artisans to the centuries-old wellness practices— we passionately spotlight the region, celebrating the potential, beauty, and creativity within its people.
Our collaboration with talented African artisans provides a platform that showcases their work globally, simultaneously empowering these craftsmen and bolstering ethically sourced and handcrafted products. Upholding the principles of fair trade, we ensure that local creators and artisans are adequately compensated for their craft, safeguarding the creative and cultural heritage that has transcended generations.
As we forge ahead with our diverse range of products and initiatives, we dedicate ourselves to presenting a vivid and comprehensive picture of Africa – one that illuminates, enthuses, and forms an everlasting bond among those who experience it.
