The warm, nurturing space, in front of a fire is where family, friends, and partners meet to rest, recharge, and connect. BOM exists to create that space and consideration for Black people in Maine. Black businesses play an important role in providing essential, culturally relevant services and goods, and supporting Black-owned businesses also help members of our community have greater freedom and autonomy in their own lives. Black Owned Maine is increasing awareness of institutional racism throughout Maine, and offering solutions to counteract it. Often innocuous-sounding language, policies, and laws continue to perpetuate racism in Maine—but go unchecked due to a false sense that a small Black population doesn’t matter. BOM is doing this work through social media, speaking engagements, and consultations.
