WELCOME

The African Place is the largest African imports retailer in the South. We carry a wide assortment of African clothing, artwork,
musical instruments, jewelry, oils, shea butter, soaps, personal care products, meditational items, Rasta apparel along with
conscious books and DVDs.
The African Place was created in 1999 as West African Artifacts, it was renamed The African Place, in 2010. It is operated by Trina
Clemmons, the owner, and her sister, Doris Clemmons. The two have dedicated numerous years in research and operating this
business that’s welcomed and received by many.
In travels to the Motherland, The African Place is afforded international business associates and knowledge in the business of
importing. As a part of the Tri-state area (Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi), our efforts are to strongly meet additional demands
for our wide selection of African creations by advertising via website, social media, and word of mouth. Our new location has
allowed us to go beyond ‘just’ retail. Our recent expansion will cater to additional concerns in the community with use of
The African Place Cafè and The Lion’s Den, the rental hall.
