A Message from the Founder
As an African American entrepreneur, I know firsthand that owning a business is challenging. It takes resilience, determination, and an unshakable belief in your vision—especially when faced with barriers that make success harder to reach. Too often, Black entrepreneurs struggle to gain the exposure, funding, and opportunities they deserve, not because of a lack of talent or innovation but because of systemic obstacles in the marketplace for black-owned businesses.
Black-Owned Marketplace (BOM) was born out of a deep passion for seeing Black businesses thrive. I’ve always believed that ownership, visibility, and community support are the keys to building generational wealth and lasting success. This platform is my way of changing the narrative.
Here, Black businesses aren’t just a small section or a seasonal feature—they are our priority. This is a space where Black entrepreneurs can showcase their excellence, where shoppers can easily support Black-owned brands, and where we can collectively empower one another.
Whether you're here to shop, sell, or participate in this movement, your presence is making an impact. Thank you for joining us to celebrate, uplift, and support Black-owned businesses today and for future generations.
We got this!
