What starts as a journey can become a mission.

In this month’s Northampton Living, meet Aimee Salmon, founder of Positively Africana By Aimee—a business rooted in culture, community, and purpose. From her beginnings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to building a growing brand in Northampton, Aimee is turning her life experiences into something that reaches far beyond herself.
