Jul 2020 - Mar 2023
Black Owned Market Edmonton was a volunteer collective whose aim was to uplift, build and support Black businesses, entrepreneurs, creatives, and community organizations in Edmonton by providing innovative platforms for businesses to market their products and services to the greater Edmonton area. During the pandemic we hosted a physical market with over 1000 attendees, with no linked COVID cases. We hosted an online market and a curated gift box in addition to appearing in pop up markets around the city. In the first years we managed to redistribute over $25,000 back into the Black community. All with the generous support of the City of Edmonton. BOM YEG curates resources and workshops available in the community and supplies the information to our vendor database. Show less
