Imani’s Breast Care
DESCRIPTION: “Imani,” means “faith” in Swahili. How appropriate, since owner and former nurse Shirley Manly-Lampkin has faith that Imani’s will make a difference in the lives of people of color for years to come. Her bright, uplifting oranges, pinks, reds and yellows almost leap out to greet visitors who cross the entrance of a destination that is equal parts day spa, clothing and jewelry retailer, gift shop and spiritual retreat. Colors emanate from mounted artwork, paint on the walls, pillows, candles, cut flowers and the many displays of African clothing and jewelry. Their service offerings include traditional massage therapy, facials, waxings, body rubs, manicures and pedicures, among others. Shirley and staff strongly advocate the importance of healthy lifestyle behaviors. It is also a de facto gathering place for women of color healing from serious illness.
