"From the day one, this is his baby. He loved being here," says Parks of her husband. "We offer the African clothing. We also offer the African artwork.""We have things from different countries," she says. "It's very unique."
When the couple first moved from Tobago in the early 1990s, they opened a shop in The Gallery, which is now known as The Fashion District. Parks says back then, their shop had more of a "European style," but gradually they started selling African items."And we get jewelry from all over the world," she says."These are my doorbusters. I try to keep the price low," says Parks."Oh, it puts off such a wonderful breeze," she says.
Parks says, on occasion, she travels in search of items for her shop. She looks for handmade jewelry, like the bracelets she carries from Ghana.She also carries natural body care products like shea butter and black soap.And there's a variety of art."After her father got sick, she decided to come here and help me with the business," says Parks.
She quit her job in corporate America, ensuring the shop will carry on through the next generation of their family. Parks says she and her husband worked hard to build the business and she knows her daughter will take care of it.2 hours ago
