I would never support a business based on the color of someones skin.
Oh boy. Neither do we. Lucky for you, people who identify as a member black race come in many colors.
I sent you a message using the contact form and have not received a response back. What is going on?
We are unable to respond to all messages that come our way. Otherwise, expect a reply back in 2-3 weeks if we have never spoken before.

Can BOM recommend a black business that (insert need here)?
We recommend that you thoroughly scour our directory before contacting us for recommendations. Our directory is free and public-facing and we encourage you to use it!

Book a consulting appointment via our Acuity calendar.
We would love to collaborate on a project with BOM.
Please contact us with your idea and we will be in contact if we feel your project aligns with our overall goals.
